Mitred edges - 12mm travertine

My personal thought is plastic with trav looks cheap and chrome with trav can look blingy

Thanks for posting a question i was needing to ask as well, i was all prepared for trim around my door frame,reading some of the replies here that idea is scrapped but as im a joiner i was thinking mitred would be better, but then would like to see some finished pics of mitred, butt and birds mouth to see which has the better finish.

birds mouth is also used in roofs, where rafters sit on top of the wall plate, useless info i know lol

How about grinding a pencil edge onto the reveal tiles, and hone. then put a miter on the 4 internal corners. So tile the wall first, with tiles flush or with 2-3mm overhanging into to the reveals, then fit the pencil edge tiles onto the reveal flush or with 1-2 space for grout line . All you have to miter is the 4 internal corners of the reveal. Not the whole face or it. That imho, would give a clean edge with a look you would achieve with a round trim. But without a trim!

Trims and sending the tile edge past!!!!!!! your a rough lot, thank god for leatherface coming up with the best way forward, mitring is OK if you cut the tile square on the wet saw and then do the mitre, that will give the best finish to the mitre.
Personally I polish all edges to external corners, provides a much better finish.
