I have never used foam edging strips with self levelling compounds. Installing UFH tomorrow.
Its been a while since i SLC so thought id watch a few videos as a refresher. Everyone seems to being using foam strips. Is this the done thing?
Thanks

Hi I am about to tile around my bath and wondered if people have opinions about the plastic trims you can buy to put around bath before you tile? Also how do I tile in the corners? I read I need to leave a gap between the tiles.
Thanks
Hi all,
Would be very grateful for advise on this:
Fitting 600 x 300 ceramiic wall tiles 10 mil deep, Rectified edge (horizontly fixed) and have recessed part of the stone wall (800h x 200w) to form a recess for bath products etc - problem is that although I have good experience of cutting...
Hi. I recently moved to a new place. The bathroom has a fairly new ceramic tile floor with a 3inch tile along the wall as well. Overall the tile job looks good, but no edging was put on the top of the tiles running around the wall. Is there a edge product that can be applied to these tiles...
I am about to lay 600x300mm x 10mm thick tiles in a hallway. The end nearest the front door will have a full-width mat-well so the tiles will not go right to the wall. To avoid the possibility of the tile edges getting chipped I was reckoning on using some form of edging strip. I was going to...

Morning all,
I'm about to do my second DIY tiling project but I just have a quick question that I could do with the thoughts of some more experienced people on. This is the only thing slowing me down in my new found most favourite hobby, but with some help I'm sure I'll be off and running...
hi all another newbie to this site.
i am a tradesman and am lookin for a floor trim 20mm to 3mm to butt up against existing tiles to a busy garage workshop so must be something heavy duty.
can anyone suggest a supplier cheers pebs.
Can it be done? Have been following the instructions in the 3-way mitre thread but can't seem to get it right, which leaves me wondering if it doesn't work properly unless the trim is a full quadrant..? It couldn't be my lack of skill, of course.....!! :-)
Thanks in advance for your input...
Hi there!
I have recently moved house and need to sort out my bathroom.
The tiles around the bath have been put in place with one of those edging strips that sits under the tile and can't be removed without removing the tiles. The edge thing (sorry technical term there) is warped and...
Hi
I'm doing a little diy tiling and need to ask about the best way to do corners with the plastic tile edging. I don't have a problem with a window with the 45 degree cuts to make a square edge. The real problem I'm having is a wall that is half tiled and goes around into the window. This...
I am doing my bathroom in travertine and have read through the various posts about edging.
I don't like the idea of using plastic or chrome trims so I want to butt join the travertine on external corners (windows sills and the like).
I am trying to decide what would be the best finish...
I'm about to start tiling a couple of shower niches in my bathroom and i'm wondering about how to install the trim on the external edges. The concern I have is if they're going to be waterproof? I can't see how it's sealed where the tile meats the strip if I just use the adhesive to bed the...

Hi
Does anyone know of an edging trim to cover the gap where floor tiles meet a wooden threshold bar between a living and dining room. The threshold is approx 2 metres long and at about the same height as the tiles. Unfortunately it has a curved edge so even if I butt the tiles up close there...
