Bevelled Metro Tiles..... Trims, edges and window reveals.

[Andy Allen]

What about leaving the biscuit back exposed ?

Painters chalk....
Trouble you get with metros is the middle of the tile is 8mm the top 6mm so an 8mm trims on the top ends up with a horrible lip......personal choice really.....I've done it both ways but hate the lip at the top.

Yeah there's always the difference in thickness between the bevel and cut. I don't think it looks bad. Personally unless it's a rustic tile I think no trim doesn't look right on an edge.

Weve all trimmed it and grouted thousands of times between us ,

You used to be able to get full half tiles bevelled all the way round , not seen them for years though .

Thanks for your comments.

Spinning the tile around as Drawing A appears not to be recommended.

I did consider not using trim on the edges, but I reckon on the tile edges look unsightly, these days.

I think I'll get some trim, cut a few tiles and mock something up.

Square edge trim usually looks better and less abvious than round edge

Diagram B is correct .. Also you could reduce the whole tile just after the bevel to achieve the same thickness (8mm) consistent to suit for trim...if that makes sense😉

Thanks, I'll bear it in mind.

Thanks. Yes it does make sense. I've considered this as well.

You could Start on the 3/4 of the tile and you get even height on the the trim with both cuts as long as you don't get small cuts in the corners and around the windows
