Cookie - it’s a poor job all round and I can’t see it getting any better tomorrow!

Adey - I’ve seen them before a few times, I’m not really a fan of the 3 way mitre, I avoid those rounded trims at all costs, there very dated and offensive. I prefer the top two mitred and the bottom one cut straight if I must use them.

I'd second the idea of a 2 way and the 3rd trim cut square to butt up but I don't think the vertical trim is the correct one as it looks wrong in picture 4?
Oh hang on, post #8 of the overhang issue would seem to indicate the trim is too thick for the tiles so won't play nicely up a corner to a cill.

The 7mm thickness is the main centre body of tile not the bevelled edges, so any cut corner tiles will always be iffy with even just an 8mm trim - but looking at that edge it looks way morethan (TM) a millimetre on post #8.
As I say I'm a DIYer, but something ain't right with pic 4 (+5) of post 1, in fact I can't quite get my head around it unless that trim is different!?
Adey's post 9/10 is how it should look when done properly as a three way, indeed if the top flat trims were just mitred you can probably tell the vertical would butt up nicely - on the table example at least.

Just found the originals on my laptop (nearly 10 years old) - must have posted it on here once. Remember practicing it thinking I'll need to do them all the time - never done it once! Apart from the time I had to show my Dad 'cos he insisted it was impossible.
