    If there is a finished edge on the mosaic I would not use trim but if not then trim is available.

    The glass is slighly angled on edge so it's not a square edge which would look better if it was without a trim. Where can you buy mosaic trims?

    It doesnt need trim as the angled edge can be used as a mitre edge you just need to make sure every thing works to a full cube of mosaic

    I don't think he even had an option for a trim on that job! It looks ok but personally I would rather see a trim
