Default tile trim

when doing splasbacks and only tiling so high up when putting trim on the horizontal do you tile all the way up and then slide the tile trim behind the the tile and just push down or do you stick trim on then put last row of tiles upto trim whats the best way thanks rossy...

Yeah, always stick the trim on last, otherwise your doing unnecessary measuring up trying to line up the trim before the last row of tiles are laid.

Default Re: tile trim

slide the trim in last but run a small piece of trim along the inside to ensure you can slide the full trim in when you have finished tiling the splashback,this saves any unnecessary fiddling around with adhesive and trim.It works for me!
