Hey everybody, I'm currently preparing my bathroom for the walls & floor to be done in Grey Quartz - I have the tiles, & a tiler ready. The bathroom has a small window reveal, about 900mm x 500mm, & I'm stumped for what to do with it - The tiler has recommended schluter chrome trim, due to the sizes I'd need 2 lengths - setting me back around £104. I'd rather have the tiles butted together here, but as it's a polished surface finish, I'd need to try & get a similar finish on the exposed edges. I rekon it'd look best with the edges of the tile showing on the reveal edge, rather than the edge of the wall facing in (if that makes sense.)

The tiler isn't keen on this at all, but I'm after the minimalistic look - & worried the chrome trim would fade, in time, & go against the finish. Can anybody who's familiar with this stuff tell me whether it's possible for me to get a decent-ish finish on the tile edge - The tiler isn't keen on it, & rekons it would look naff. I don't mind doing the donkey work on it, if it's a bit labour-intense, or can this just not be done to any similar finish to the manufactured surface?

Bespoke finishing to tile edges is what any pro tiler can do ... IMO.. be it chrome trim to hand finished edges.. it is all in a days work of a pro tiler and not that of a chancer or multi trader ...
