Butting tiles upto the trim

[FreeD]

Say u are tiling a window...you do the face, slot the trim in then proceed to tile the reveal...do u butt the tile tight up against the trim or leave a grout line between trim and tile? :8:

Leave a grout joint, same size as between the tiles.

I think it's down to personal choice....i don't leave a gap as i find the grout can crack and fall out...as the grout does not bond to plastic trims..

I like a nice tight joint to the trim as the homelux ones i use the tile edge tucks slightly under the profile but as i said it is personal choice..

Yea a customer pulled me up on it on my last job i left 2mm grout line...i said its personal preference, he was worried about dirt falling down between the tile and trim? maybe he thought i wasnt going to grout it! anyway he was happy when the job was done may ask customers in future which they would like.

i prefer to feed the tile into the trim no grout line as dave says the grout tends not to like plastic.

If you use schluter jollys your forced to have 2mm joint because the way there made

I tend to butt up or into trims, apart from on window cills, where I leave a 2mm (ish) gap to let condensation run off the cill and not down the back of the trim

I tend to but the tile upto the back of the trim and often end up having a fine grout line over the top.

But your tile is still up against the trim and the jolley has a rebated profile...
