Any other benders here? Bending Metal Tile Trim

[AndY mac]

Let's move on from ply talk. Any other benders here !

 

[Qwerty]

Never been a bender I must say. I know the yanks like doing that.

I know how it's done but can you please explain to us non benders how it's done. Pics would be great. Not too sure if it's been shared on the forum before.

 

[AndY mac]

Mark where you want your bend cut out a 45 at back of trim with tin snips then bend it round an off cut. You might need to file a ragged piece at the back now and again. A lot of customers wet them self seeing this simple move.

I've done it a few times before, especially around P bath panels that have been tiled and bare flesh was vulnerable . You need good quality trim though or I find it starts to crack and split.

 

[Rich Midge]

Have to admit, that's completely new to me, never seen trim bent like that. I take it you round the corner of the tiles to fit the profile of the trim?

 

[White Room]

I think Timeless John mentioned this quite a while ago..

 

[LM]

It helps if you make a slight score on the back with a cut off disk on a grinder

 

[AndY mac]

Sometimes just a little glance of the grinder on the corner is needed.

It's a bit of a bugger to get right but does look good.

 

[Dan]
