Opions on 3 way mitres

[Time's Ran Out]

Instead of mitring the top edge, just cut the back out in a 'v' and bend it around a tile corner to a 90* angle!
Young John and I were initiated into this style of finish 6 years ago in the South of France when we were shown how to do a staircase by the job foreman (Mel a tiler from Northumberland) - when I learn how to put photos on here from my phone I'll show you.
Since we have been using this method of trim finishing it has been exceptionally well received!

This method takes me back to 1984 when I built a working model steam engine at school. The housing for the crankshaft was formed in this way then when bent round to form two 90 degrees angles, the joint was brazed to hold in position. I still have it in my garage! Party piece, comes out every tenth birthday!!

Phil, that's how I do them, very well executed example you have posted! TJ, I'm very intrigued about your method, I just wonder where the straight butted joint would fit on to the curve... Post example please.

Me too!

That does look good.

 

[Mr Tiler]

Me too!

I personally dont like the look of that. Just puttin me 2 pence in lol.... I think it would look better with another trim butted up on the other side of corner too...

How would you propose to go about doing that then mr tea bag? The trim sits under the tiles, so you won't be able to do that as the other trim (hidden part) will be in the way!!!! The only way of achieving that look would be to use a pencil or box section trim but they are not designed for this

????????????????????? Sorry Ash, not with you mate.

 

[Mr Tiler]

You could surely put another trim on the other side and whyand have the gripping bit of the trim under the tiles couldnt you?.. I like the top but its just the external looks odd to me with the trim being just on one side of the wall sorry if I offended.

 

[Mr Tiler]

Is the hidden part of the trim on the other side of external plan Tec or the side that the trims on? If its on the other side I get ya mate.

No offence at all mate, if you don't ask you will never learn.

 

[Mr Tiler]

sound phil... but do you know what I mean? the bare side of the external looks strange it may just be me but I don't like that look lol.

 

[Colour Republic]

You can't do what you purpose tea bag, get a bit of flat trim and you'll see why.

you can get the same look as you want by using box trim but not with normal squared edged trim.

 

[One Day]

Even if you could do that, you'd then probably want to do the same on the horizontals and double up all over. Would look pap imo!

 

[One Day]

Three way perfils. That'd please him!

 

[John Benton]

For your pleasure Ash

 

[Mr Tiler]

As CR said you can only achieve this with square trim and you can either mitre the vertical or horizontal corners, I prefer the cubes personally

Or you can try this:

How far do you cut the V into it John? Sounds like the way forward, those points can be nasty, especially on an external corner of skirting.

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Practise! But so it will bend without splitting.
