    Tile trim for cement board

    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:

    Cement Boards....

    Hello. Not posted here for a couple of years. And am a bit dejected to say the least. So - What's the general opinion regards Tanking Cement Boards when they are fitted in a bathroom containing a shower enclosure? To clarify, I'm not talking about when they are fitted in a wetroom. Thanks, Grouch.
