    Corner reveals

    Which is the best way to finish a corner reveal. I really don't like using trims, whether they be plastic or metal corner trims. Is the only other way to 45 degree the edges which will be a pain as they are porcelaine tiles. This is mainly for the corners around windows. Thanks
