Bathroom - Tile Edge Trim (Question)

[Unregistered]

Hi all, I'm currently tiling the bathroom and its my first time doing a full bathroom myself. I've done single walls before but never a full room.
My question is regarding the tile edge trim that goes around the window. After I use my diamond blade to cut the correct tile size when I put it against the trim (the cut edge) it will not lock or slip into the trim to hide the cut edge. (See pic 1)
When I use the good end of the tile it seems to fit perfectly and had a nice finish, but then of course my cut edge is facing the other tiles and thats not good. (See pic 2)
Or should my cut edge not be right against the edge trim but a couple of mil away so that you then grout between it ? (see pic 3)

your trim is too small! i dont know what size you have but up the size by 2mm!

As Dagger says the trim probably is too small, Most tiles have a nice rounded egde and have ribs on the back(but not right up to the edge). This means the centre of the tile is thicker than at the edge.Go for a heavier trim

As Tommy says, most tiles have a "rounded" edge, so are slightly thinner at the edge.

From the pics, it looks as though you have a 7.5mm Tileasy trim. Try the 10mm

Here are the pics to make it alittle easier for folk

Thanks guys, so the correct fitting (once I get the correct size of trim) is picture no 2 ?
