Hi,

Job tomorrow tiling floor and up over wood hearth but cant figure hearth in my set up with regards to centering it as i am governed by an expansion joint so my question when i follow the pattern over hearth and the edge on the top has to be cut to follow the pattern do i lay the riser over the edge or use trim.
Just wondering what would look like with riser covering the edge rather than the top covering the riser edge if you catch my drift.
Or should i just use trim?

Thanks Steve.

I would use a nice stainless steel trim .. matt in finish........

Good thinking Dave,

recommend anywhere for 8mm one, these are the things i miss out being new and it ends up costing in the end but life's a learning curve eh.
p.s any alternative to bal microseal silicon (charcoal that will do the same job but less outlay)?

hi steve...

schluter do some very nice profiled trims..i would say use a flat edge one then it does'nt show as much profile......
As for the silicone try screwfix..they do mapei silicone in black...... HERE..
