Leatherface, is there anywhere online where these 3 way pieces can be bought?

Thanks

New to this forum so please excuse me if you've heard this one before....

I've read as much as can here looking for how to do 3 way corners, but I'm still struggling.

My problem is that I'm using a 12mm metal Homelux trim, which isn't a circular profile - it's more of a hockey stick shape. This means that the horizontal mitres are fine, but the vertical piece just won't match.

Topps Tiles in Huddersfield don't have an answer, and (don't cringe) I even considered using pre-made corner pieces - but they don't do them.

Any suggestions at all ?

There's no Homelux logo on the page I'm looking at, but I'll do it through their website.

Thanks, Nigel

Just do a two way mitre and file trim so it's not sharp....or go to CTD and buy genesis trims and get there new 3-way corner pieces..very nice they are...

That's a great idea, except:

1) I've already put on seven 2.5m lengths so it might look a bit odd, and
2) it's stone coloured metal trim, so it can't be filed.

Unfortunately this seems like one of those things that really can't be bodged.:mad2:

This is the very last bit of about 35sq m of what seems like a travertine lifetime. Next time I will:
1) start with the hard bit (not leave it till last), or
2) Stop being a tightarse and get somebody else to do it.

Hmmmm.
