Final polishing of mitred edge on thin tile.
S
Like the look of this and have been doing some searches on mitred corners.. any advice where this should and shouldn't be specified?

I worry that exposed edges in busy areas might be more vulnerable than an edge with a trim. On a 90 corner I assume it's a bit sharper too?

Suppose it depends on the tile but do you generally butt the mitre together tight or leave a space for grout? Or alternatively there's the option of doing mitres into 90 degree corners and also use a thin edged trim that sticks out at 45 degrees.

Your concerns are not without merit Stuart, however, those of us that mitre thin tile as a rule fill all externals with resin, this strengthens and protects the mitred edge, they are also softened by polishing the in to a round wherever possible, this will be material dependant.
It’s our expwythat this is more than adequate to produce a high level of finish and to achieve a seamless look, and besides, I’ve yet to meet a client who wants to see trim, it looks awful with this material in my opinion.

Look here hopefully it’ll give you a better insight, also I have just posted a new album, Flaviker, check that too.
