    Tile Edge Trim

    I just cannot get my head around tile edge trim,having never used it. From what I have read you match trim to tile thickness. If you are using 8 mm tile you get a 9 mm trim which allows for 1 mm of tile adhesive and this is where I am confused. Say you are using a 8 mm notched trowel as wall is...

    Fitting Metal Edge Trim/tiles Around Window Recess

Eg, is it best to tile the whole face of the wall, with all of the 4 window sides cut straight and square, being raised proud by a set distance to allow for the trim/adhesive and inner tiles to meet up squarely when fitted later? If so...

    What Size Metal Trim For 9mm Tiles?

    im fitting 300x600 tiles that are 9mm thick. i read on here that i should use a 10mm round trowel for that size tile and that it will squash down to 6mm. I assumed that would mean id need 15mm trim but someone at topps tiles said otherwise. can anyone advise what i need to do/buy? thanks

    Hopefully someone can advise on a far from perfect situation. A professional tiler has just tiled my kitchen but around the window ledge (where vertical wall and flat ledge meet) he did not use trim. The edges of the tiles are exposed. It's no doubt a matter of taste but to me it doesn't look...

    Should chrome tile trim be flush with the tiles, or have a slight lip? Or is a matter of preference? Thank you very much.

Problem is (as I can see) is the measurement between the worktop and the horizontal angle bead on the window cill is 215mm, which will become about 225+ after the cill is tiled - she doesn't really want a...
