Schluter Trim - Nice but dear £££££££

[Leatherface]

have been tiling Mother In Laws Bathroom, 30 x 60 x 10mm Ceramic tiles, tile fully in shower, half way rest of room. She chose some lovely Schluter trim to finish off the exposed edges.
Was a square, chrome,10mm, box section, Schluter Trim called "Quadek E" has
lovely square joint pieces to join corners and consecutive pieces of trim.
Trim was around £20 per length with my discount.

HOWEVER, the tiny little square pieces to join the trim were £16 each. She needed 9 of them, that is £144 for 9 tiny metal squares and another £80 for 4 lengths of trim.
Daylight robbery !

I'm using the CTD special offer quarter round silver at £3.95 per length. The 3 way corner pieces work out at around £2.20 each plus vat I think.

TBH it looked as good as the Shluter stuff, but was around a 3rd of the price.

Tile Trim Profiles

Tile trim profiles are designed to provide a decorative finish, and protect exposed tile edges on wall corners, skirtings and tiled edges.
