Tile Trim - TilersForums.com

I'm in the planning stage of a complete re-fit of my family bathroom. Looks like we've decided to go with these tiles from Tile Giant:

Harmony Slate Mix
Replica Steel Grey Wall

I don't have the tools to mitre the corners so I've been looking for options using tile trim. Rather than using the usual quadrant trim I've found this which looks (IMO) quite smart: Crown Tiles | Pack of 5 7mm Grey Pro Tile Trim - Crown Tiles. The only problem with using this company is their delivery charges - £24 if you are spending less than £120. I've done the usual searching on the web but can't find these anywhere else. In the grand scheme of things £24 is about 1% of my budget so perhaps I just need to swallow the cost...

Has anybody else seen anything similar elsewhere? I could go down the metal trim route but not sure if I want that look. I have a small window, shower niche, some soil pipe boxing and a short stud wall that separates the bath from shower with exposed corners.

Cheers - Kevin

Use this from Tile Giant..........

Tiletrim Chrome Square Edge 10mm


All you need is a junior hacksaw and a mitre block (can get both for less than £10)

Hi Kevin,

We released a new range of finishes for profiles called TRENDLINE which have real-to-the-touch textures that match with concrete, stone and the current on-trend tiles ranges, more details can be found here Broken Link Removed and the profiles can be purchased via a number of resellers nationwide.

Regards


Carl

Thanks for the feedback. I'll check with the Home Office (aka SWMBO).

I do like the look of the QUADEC-TS but I'm going to have to ensure I have 2 very clean edges rather than just one (assuming trim would have covered up one of the edges). Might mean I need to invest in a new cutter and not use my wet cutter which can chip the edge even though I have a diamond wheel.

Even with a diamond wheel on a wet saw you will struggle to get a true edge back on a tile.

Would something like a Sigma 2G be overkill for a project like mine? I have about 23m of tiles to fit (floor to ceiling so plenty of cutting to do). I'm not expecting to have another big (for me) project to do anytime soon. Kitchen maybe next year. I guess it puts the £24 postage into context which is where this thread started. Trying to save that on postage and end up spending £100 on a new cutter!

The baby sigma is good, that's what I use.
If you invested in a bigger cutter you would get good money resale from it.
