Source of quadrant/edging tiles in granite or glass?
I have Kashmir Gold worktops retro fitted to existing units & tiles on the wall. The new worktop is thinner than the old one & does not meet the tiles by about 15-20mm, I had expected to raise the feet on the units to take up the slack but they were already at full height. So I am looking for a quadrant shaped beading/edging tile to cover the gap, ideally in the granite or a gold/brown glass to blend or maybe a glass/ceramic version in the very light greyish blue of the wall tiles. Any ideas anyone? Thanks

Re: Source of quadrant/edging tiles in granite or glass?
Yes I can but the quote is £450 - all the edges need polishing. This seems a lot to fill a little gap when I have already spent my budget on the granite!

But it will look a lot better.. make the upstands 100mm
But you can get ceramics quadrant tiles at 150mm long and these come in various colours.. Crystal make them.. and i do know CTD sell these trim kits.. not sure if any other retailer does.

You mentioned that you were looking to "raise the feet". Can you not raise the units by installing batons under the feet?

Thanks, this looks the best bet so far, just limited to shades of white.

Re: Source of quadrant/edging tiles in granite or glass?
The problem with trying to get something under the feet will be lifting the weight of the granite now resting on the cupboards; then what do you put under that won't look like a bodge? Probably need to be travertine to match the floor tiles and end up costing more & being a 2 man job.
But I like all the lateral thinking, there is always more ways of doing things!
