Whats your choice for trimming around a window.
Ok, I will try and explain, I dont often do a 3 way mitre.
So say around a window on a kitchen splashback tiled half way up or just above the units. Do you:
a) mitre the two bits of trim along the top of the tiles and butt the vertical...
I'm usually not too bad at using Silicon, however saying that, i definately think this is a good product. Would be helpful when using dark coloured tiles that show up any little uneven bit of silicon.
I know some people are thinking of the price, but to be honest a lot of tiling products are...
Does any one know an alternative to Silicon for internal wall tiled corners, (gaps a little big), is there a product similar to normal tile trim used on windows etc? that could give a clean finish:oops:
This is my first post so I hope its OK and you Guys can help

I need to tile the walls inside a corner shower enclosure - can anyone tell me whether it necessary for the tiles to protrude outside the edges of the enclosure - i.e. does the enclosure have to be attached on to the tiles (to ensure a good seal etc) - or can the tiles inside the enclosure butt...

Hello all,

Hello Tilers all,
I'd be much obliged if some kind soul could advise me the neatest way to finish the corner of a tiled bath panel. The tiles are beautifully flush to the bath, however this means that even with edging trim the external corner protrudes beyond the curved corner of the bath...
Does such a thing exist and does any one know where I can get it?
I've tried searching online using various search terms but can't find anything.
I basically want an chrome 'L' profile that I can fix over the tiles at the corners.
Any help would be appreciated as I presumed it would be...
