New Tile Trims... Would Love To Hear Your Thoughts and Feedback...

It seems to be now that corner pieces are being specified by housebuilders etc. It is more a necessity than anything else now for us as a manufacturer to include corner pieces when manufacturing new trims.

On jobs where you have full control of the specification then the choice is obviously yours but like you quite rightly mention there is a huge health and safety element in incorporating corner pieces into the job now, especially with EAT Triangular trim where one of the main reasons for selecting this trim is the health and safety element straight edge trim does not guarantee.
 
EAT (Triangular Trim) Is availible in Matt, Bright and Brushed Silver (8, 10 & 12mm Depths)
TMG (Slenderline Straight Edge Trim) Is availible in Matt and Bright Silver at present... (5, 8, 10 & 12mm Depths)
 
I like the look of them but finding a local supplier could be interesting...

Interesting msg whitebeam...

As we speak I am (and Im sure Arron, the Southern Sales Representative at Genesis is too) promoting these products in every meeting I have and so far it is getting the attention it deserves and independent retailers are stocking the product.

Realistically, all independent tile retailers can get these products for you, all they have to do is call me, Arron or Genesis directly and order the products in either for their stock or for your requirement (deliveries are usually next day for retailers. I know not every retailer deals with Genesis but they do not have to change their stock if they do not want to, just order things in as and when they want to.

With a national network, the best answer I can give you is CTD, in the north they stock a comprehensive amount of Genesis products and will get anything you want from the Genesis catalogue next day (or same day in the case of some closer retailers to the office) In the South the share of trims is split betweeen ourselves and Homelux more but all CTD branches can put an order on for a product you need from Genesis so please do not be afraid to ask your local branch for anything out of our catalogue.

As you are aware, unfortunatley we do not trade with Topps Tiles, Tile Giant, B&Q, Homebase, etc. in any real way at present (Please though, let me know if you would like to see that change, this may be the start of another poll - Where would you like to buy Genesis products from?) so it is a case of finding your 'local' Genesis Distributor but our network is comprehensive and we do cater for individual orders aswell as stock items for our retailers.

The internet provides a good service for Genesis products too and I know protilertools.co.uk do have EAT (Triangular trim) in stock and Andy is very good at picking up on trends and if he doesnt have the full range in he will be doing so soon. He is a professional tiler himself so working with him on new products is always a good exercise. Im sure though if you contact him and ask for a specific product again he will be able to get them for you.

So tell me more about yourself and your buying habits whitebeam? Who is your preferred tile retailer? and more importantly, do you think the Genesis brand should be availible in more merchants/retailers near you and f so which one?

This is all great feedback so far guys. Please keep it coming. If you have any questions I am happy to help...
 
May have local place thinking about it but the guys that work in there do just that and as far as I know would'nt have clue, the outlet is called Acorntiles but on credit card receipts it say Mansell and Wells LTD and the main guy is never there.

The reason I go there is because it's less than 2 mile from where I live and they supply weber adhesive but I like to get hold of a sample just to show people....these are going to be popular.
