outward edge

[mac101]

Hi all,

I am tiling my bathroom at the moment and all is going well,
I am, now about to tile the shower area and need some advice.

I will have to tile some external 90 degree vertical edges, hope I am describing this right, what is the best way to do this, do I line up the edges of the tile and use silicon to fill the edge, do i butt one to the back of the other and use a tiny bead of silicon? I am confused as to what is the norm and the best way to do it.

Thanks

Mac

Normally you just use a tile edge trim...but some peeps just butt edge them or even mitre them...trim is the most popular.......

I would use plastic trim mate, Take a tile with you to get the right size trim from your tile supplier. Mitering is quite tricky.

I dont like the plastic trim that much...it can cheapen the look of the tiles, so I prefer to butt them up...but, if you have a tile that hasnt got a glazed edge, that looks even worse, so trim all the way
