Black ceramics - white grout?

[Brindle]

Hi
I have a kitchen splashback next week, black gloss square 150mm; I know she wants white grout, but what colour trim looks best? I have looked through the gallery but couldn't spot anything to go from.

Cheers

i cant stand plastic trims......i think they look cheap and nasty.....brushed ali or chrome everytime.....depending on fixtures and fittings in the room...
good luck

Shouldnt the customer decide????

 

[protilers]

sir ramic....your right...they are paying after all......
plastic trim = cheap....ali trims = expensive...however they may not know what exsists.....as the fixer its you job to advise the client of their options....
i also think that in an area of grease and foodstuffs splashing about that a grey grout would look better and last longer.....just an opinion!

So long as there's no reflection of yourself in your Borat get up in the tiles.....that'd be great ta!

Seeing as so many expert folks on at the minute. When doing kitchen splashback or any I suppose, If I'm using tub adi, what is the procedure to grout and Silicon in as few a visits as possible? I try different ways but have yet to stumble on the perfect one.
How do other people work it? I like to Silicon properly rather than grout up to everything.
Cheers
