    Default Square edge metal tile trim

    Hi all
    Out of interest came across some Homelux chrome square edge metal tile trim.
    Has anybody used these and what were there thoughts?
    Reason for asking i've got a 12mm tile job soon and the 12.5mm tile trims don't seem to but up comfortably.
    With these square edged not only did the tile fit snuggly it also sits in by 10mm allowing quite a bit of tolerance if needed.
    May also be a better mitred cut than a quad curve??
    Cheers
    Kev

    The square edge trim is nice, i often just run it in the all as a border, or if there is a feature tile border as a border to it (if you know what i mean).

    I dont mitre it just but it up against the trim running at right angles to it.

    I have used them in the past but think they look too heavy / too much if that makes sense. Easy to cut etc the same as any other. I prefer to use trim with as little visible edge as possible - an L shape suits me fine!

    I personally prefer square edged trim i believe it gives a much classier finish esp in stainless steel( although cutting reqires s/s cutting discs) it looks good and presents a nice finish. I know homelux do some metal trims and as far as i know they are straight foward to cut with standard metal blades.I always mitre these as well i know the showing joint is hardly seen but sometimes this attention to detail will present repeat custom. Schluter have a great range of decent trims in various metals.

    Used the homelux 'L' shaped trim a couple of times lately (as opposed to the box trim.) Just sits on the edge of the tile, very nice in brushed stainless finish

    I prefer the L shaped trims, more subtle looking.
