perfils for large format tiles

[The D]

my question is do you use them and if you do how do you fix them?

Hi deano
I have only ever used them when fixing porcenalosa tiles they have a 5mm internal corner bisque side and a 20mm external angle on the ceramic face, i have only ever stuck them with spf adhesive using 1mm card as a spacer or red wedges to even the joint if they are slightly mis shaped ,they do look okay when fitted but i found they were not a perfect match to the field tiles when using the travertine effect 900 x 300 tiles, they are easier to fit than mitring the tiles but do need be mitred themselves when meeting 2 externals angles as i have never seen corner pieces as regards fixing you need to cut the adjacent tiles 20mm shorter than the external corner to get the perfil to fit square to the to edge tiles they are meeting

thanks Gary that is how i have always don them but i had my eyes opened today by the chipy on site. he uses super glue and sticks the perfil to one of the tiles and butts the other tile up to it. so i gave it a go and it was a very fast way of fixing them. just wondered if any one else did any thing similar?

this glue is the dogs but i still back fill with spf just to be on the safe side
