    Dont put a trim either side, If you can talk hte customer out of this design. It will look crap. You are the tiler explain that this will not look good and she will listen to you.

    If she will not change her mind then the cut edges must be rubbed down with a rubbing stone

    You can get metal square trim which will help make it look like a great feature.You can't really leave visable cuts.Done this on alot of shower areas
