Tile Trim - Floor to wall - advice please

[mick7]

HI all

Anyone know the name and where I can buy in the next few days ( twickenham area) the "double sided" tile trim where a floor joins the wall. I asked topps tiles this morning who said they'd seen it but no idea where I could get it.
Many thanks

Why is a trim reqd where wall and floor meet Mick ? can you offer a touch more detail....Gaz

[mick7]

Apologies.

I'm just about to start in the next couple of days, 60 x 60 tiles porcelaine on a 5 sq mt utility room floor. Bought alll the stuff thanks to the forum, but I also want to half tile the walls ( samller tiles. I thought a double edged tile trim( do they make one?) would make a neater job and prevent the cracking at the wall/floor joint as has already happened in a newly tiled bathroom - hence why I'm doing the job myself this time. Any advice welcome,thanks.

CTD do internal corner trims..( homelux or schluter ) but are shut till wednesday...but wickes do a simlar one if you need it before hand..... http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/166083?...9bQPNXrg%3D%3D

There is an internal cove trim..made in white and black, 6mm for kitchen wall tiles, 9mm for bigger. This is usually used on worktops,and the tile slips in.If you use it for your utility,you must tile the floor first and sit trim on those...the trim is available at topps,made by homelux.....best of luck.....Gaz

This is the type you want...

but not all tile/diy shops stock them......

[mick7]

Thanks for all the info. I'm going to wait and go to CTD on Wednesday, better than rushing the job - me thinks.
Thanks again

Why not just use silicone?

[Dave]

That one in the pic is a schluter one...

They make a few with different profiles and colours....

here's a link to the schluter dilex trim page...

You will be able to choose which one you require and get the code before you order ..

Silicone is good .YES.!!

But in can break down in time and needs replacing...

It's down to personal choice.. and costs...

I use both methods and both look fine.....

But only on floor to wall joints.. i just silicone wall joints....

An ideal situtation for them is in wet rooms....

Lots of choices now, many thanks. Looks like another shopping trip.
