[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]tile edging profiles......[/FONT]​

1. Complete tiling around window or one side of a corner first.

2. Measure length required and mitre trim as necessary.

3. Apply tile adhesive.

4. Place tile edging in adhesive ensuring tile adhesive comes through holes provided.

5. Place tiles on to adhesive butting up against trim edge.
6. Take time to ensure tiles are flush with edge of the trim, pack up with extra adhesive if required.

7. Take care to wash off excess adhesive whilst still wet. Set adhesive is very difficult to remove.

8. Grout tiles in the normal way again making sure all excess grout is removed whilst still wet.

9. Allow adhesive and grout to dry thoroughly before normal use.
Please note. The above information is offered as a guide only, please consult your tile supplier for full fixing and grouting instructions for the tile you have chosen.
