Hi Benjy and welcome to TF if you could tell us the type of tile and size we might give you some alternates that may help.

Thanks for coming back.
I am trying to find a finisher longer than the 2.5m lengths available to go round a radius which has a bout a ten ft sweep.
I am using 6mm x 40 x25 tiles of which I have cut a number of 50mm pieces that will fit into the recess and cut a number of "v" cuts out the back of a plastic trim which does the job but it just isn't long enough.
Can someone suggest an alternative to just simply joing a finisher which will look out of proportion
Thank You

Schluter are one company that do unusual trims, give them a go.

Schluter do a chrome finish trim with the V's already made in it. Not sure about the longer length though.

Thanks for trying but I have tried Schueter and although they do a finisher with the "v" already cut out it is more for floors as the profile don't accomodate the tile,it is almost as if it is round the wrong way when you offer it up.

Thanks again

It's made for the face tile.
2.5 is the longest I've seen available and if you join it on a tile joint or at the start of the curve it blends in.

If you use a flat edge trim the. Then joint won't be as obvious as say a quadrant trim would be.
