Curved Edging tiles for floors

[RDTiling]

Evening all.

For those of you have read my post on whether to tile a bowling toilet club floor. Thanks to Geoff and others I have sufficient information to tackle the prep work with confidence.

The walls are not being tiled unfortunately, but are having some form for aqua panel with a marble fleck running through it.

i have seen in some pub toilets that the edges of the floor are tiled are with a curved edging tile (usually in a terracotta colour to match the floor tiles!). The bowling club are looking to use this edging to provide additional protection to the bottom of the aqua panel board when the floor is washed.

does anyone know what the official name of these edging tiles are and are they only available with certain styles of tile? They are keen to avoid the standard red terracotta 15 x 15 tiles and go with something along the lines of the Gradino anti slip tile from Tile Giant. Is there an alternative to these edging tiles such as a PVC edging strip that can be used?

Thanks,
Rich

EDIT : Sorry didn't read the "avoid" bit.

I know an alternative hold on.

This looks more like it.

I used these do a full refit on a sports club communal shower area.

Matching external and internal curves etc are available on some but not all of the range. Prices quite sensible but sometimes limited to minimum quantities.

Thanks very much. The ones called CBRT are exactly what I am looking for and would be perfect if they came in a colour other than terracotta!

Sorry, I replied before I saw your edit...

I would suggest Kerastar coving tiles. You can get them from most tile outlets.

Both are good suggestions. I'll put both to the committee and see which they prefer. I guess, like everything, it will probably be whichever option is the cheapest, rather than the one that looks the best unfortunately.

If it was me, I would get them to put the wet wall (aqua panel)up 1st and then tile the floor. Silicone round the edges. You then have the full depth of the tile coming up the wet wall. As long as you get a good silicone seal the wet wall won't get damaged.

That would be my preference too and echos my recommendation to them. Unfortunately the joiner got his opinion in first and most of them are taking this as gospel.

The aqua panel is going in first but try are looking to cut it short so that the edging tiles meet the bottom of the aqua panel. Seems a bit of a risky way to do it to me.

Get him to do it then...

Tell them tough. That's the way it should be done. Cheaper as well. Just keep on saying cheaper lol

I'm sure they will like the word cheaper. :smilewinkgrin:
