External Corner - Trim causing fixing problem

[Dan]

Sounds like the problem is the bevelled edges on the tiles, they are not the easiest of tiles to use and get a good finish. Cut one in half and measure the thickness then use a trim over that size.

VERY good tip!

Sorry, as in use the cross-section width to gauge the size of trim I'll need?

 

[Gazzer]

Cut a tile in half then measure the thickness of the tile it will be thicker in the centre due to the bevelled edge. Use that thickness to determine the trim needed.

Excellent, thanks very much.

Just out of interest...about how long would a pro take to tile a bathroom (without being perfectionist but a to-sight good job) 16m2, walls only, quite uneven walls, just one window?

Had the same problem myself on a job. Wrongly assumed when looking at the customers tile that it was a 6mm and got 6mm trim. Came to do a box and found I was getting an exposed edge. Packaging stated a 7mm tile so I had to remove and get some 9mm trim which worked fine.

If you are serious about tiling then you shouldn't be in b&q.

Best of luck Tom.

Even being a bit of a joker I still should have known.
