Best tile trim manufacturer

[cowgomoo]

Good Afternoon one and all, I am currently looking for tile trims and have been frustrated with Schluter, Genesis and Homelux etc and wondered whether there are other manufacturers of tile trims that I don't know about or have overlooked. Quality is the key here, not particularly mad colours or anything and quite specifically metal trims that are not only shiny chrome and steel but coloured - I know Schluter do a few but quite limited. All help and ideas gratefully accepted, thanks very much - Cow.

Tile Easy (Tile Giant) always good for me

Do like schluter personally, Porcelanosa do some quality trims

I dont buy anythin Genesis now

 

[Gazzer]

Genesis for me, no issues here and I can get the nice little corner pieces.

I use Genesis, good quality from my experience. Reasonable prices.

Just as a matter of interest, what colour are you looking for, and why?

Coloured trims tend to age a bathroom, if you think back to the Seventies and Eighties avocado suites.

Thanks Kendo, I have a client who wants to match a tile with trim. The tile is an Ivory colour and another is a beige which are all pretty ambiguous. The ivory tile matches perfectly with the Schluter soft peach but doesn't exist in metal or 12mm pvc. So casting about for new leads but it is proving a trying task. I just wondered if there was a make of trim that I haven't heard of. Done A-Trim, Schluter, Genesis and Homelux. Any advances ??? Cow

And what colour do they come in?

Try the new high gloss from homelux, very nice trims if you are using pvc.

 

[Rich]

I usually use Tile Easy

 

[White Room]

Geneses trims, had some metal ones which a protective plastic film on the surface..

 

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

have you tried trim line

 

[nybor62]

trim line have quite a good selection , of pvc trim , with over 20 different colours
also a good choice of meatal trims , with matching corner pieces , mostly a trim

i do like genesis though

 

[burncross]

Always Genesis for me

 

[John Benton]

And what colour do they come in?

These only come in either polished or satin finish. I have used a genesis pewter recently that worked well simply because sometimes the silver metal finishes are too bright against a darker tile.

The only reason I dont use Genesis is in support of the folk that got shafted over the G-Matt debacle, nothing else.

 

[kilty55]

totally agree mate no more business from me either...they wont notice but its the principle of the matter

 

[Gall.B]

Was chatting with a guy last week, that had laid over 1000m2 of limestone on polypipe ufh then G-Matt last year, needless to say he bricked himself when I filled him in on the situation.

Where's the link about the Genisis matt debacle?
would be interested to see this, never used it myself but seen it and wasn't convinced.

I think you will find that they have addressed the problem and sorted issues out.

 

[Gall.B]

Didnt know they had paid out or fixed all jobs involved, better late than never I suppose but still feel sorry for the folk made to suffer.

Does anyone buy in bulk and store the trims themselves?

If so where do you buy them from, at the min its costing a fortune for trims where i get them from.

What would you call bulk, I buy larger amounts than I need but I have on going work that is all standard stuff so its fine.

 

[MSB Tiling]

if probably buy something like 75 white, 7mm, 9mm, 12mm & 75 cream/ivory, 7mm, 9mm, 12mm

So im guessing around 150 but the only limit is what i can afford at the time of ordering, so if its worth but 300+ and i can afford it i would.

 

[kendo1]

I get the customer to pay for trim.

It's the customer who wants it, not me.
I don't buy the tiles either.

So it doesn't matter to me what they cost.

 

[John Benton]

And what colour do they come in?

Polished and satin finish. I also used a Genesis one recently, Pewter, on a darker coloured tile. Sometimes the brightness of the metal finish draws your eye to it, when really it shouldn't be noticed.

Apologies, John.
I was being obtuse, if not down right rude.

The OP was asking about coloured tile trim, and I had realised that you were talking about metal finish.

*hangs head in shame*
