    Default What type of tiling trim do i need

    I have a straight edge that will be finished 3/4 of the way up a wall. So after some reading i have decided on a straight edge piece of trim. I know the length i require but do i buy it the same thickness as the tile i am using or do i allow for adhesive too?

    Also i have had to box in at the end of the bath. When this is tiled, where the vertical meets the horizontal do i fit a right angle piece over both parts to cover the edges? Or do i use something else? Would like this chrome to match first piece.

    Lastly, on the vertical piece to be tiled on the boxed in bath piece where its going to meet the bath panel do i put some sort of edge here as tiles may slightly protrude further than bath panel and i would like to seal this edge with a mastic?

    Always get a tile trim 2mm thicker than the tile.
    IMO use the same trim for all exposed edges.
    Make sure your cut edge is filed smooth and don't scratch the metal trim when cutting.
    Have fun!
