I'm tiling (9mm) over cement board (12.5mm) around a bath and the board/ tiling will be 1200mm high, so the top will have a "bare edge". What tile trim is recommended to cover the cement board/ tile edge, or should I use something else?
Thanks :smilewinkgrin:

Hey all, Would it be ok to use a bigger trowel when over boarding slightly uneven floor boards with hardy? Don't feel confident using SPF with a 6mm trowel, not sure if it will fill the voids :smilewinkgrin:
