Hi I'm looking for some advice on Homelux Tile trim. I
I'm tiling the kitchen, got to the window area and trying to put the trim up the corner
edge of the window with a return into the window then across the top of the tiles. Have used a corner joining part before in the Bathroom, but can I
find any in the stores now (9mm Soft Cream). tried to cut and mitre it but keep ending up with a sharp rightangle that looks wrong with the trim
joining up to it. Any sugetions ?.
 
hi gildatq

I got to the same point as you i couldnt find any corner pieces, i ended up with a meter long strip down to a ruler lenth strip cause i could get the mitre right lol , Raja gave me a tip if this helps. lay the tiles outto the shape of the window as a template, and then cut the strip to the mitre, it worked for me .
 
homeflux tile trim is arse mate ... use genesis trim if its not 2 late you can get the excellent little corners in almost ever colour even crome .... hope this helps
 
You can get homelux corner profiles from CTD...........i used to use genesis trims but IMO homelux have a better profile , not as bulky looking as genisis ones....
 
.here is Devonmark's tutorial...brilliant corner solution....Gaz

3 way mitre..tutorial (hopefully)
Here I am going to attempt to guide you through a the cutting of a 3 way mitre.

picture 1 is of the 3 way mitre.

trim for the top of the mitre is laid flat in the mitre box as in pic 2,

after you have cut the mitre you then stand the trim up and cut the mitre in half (the opposite way) as in pic 3,

this will then give you a point as in pic 4

next you cut the piece the for the downward trim, you cut this in the opposite to the top piece, cut your mitre in the normal way with the trim standing up, then you lie it flat and cut it in half the opposite way as in pics 5 and 6.

hope this helps with some of the confusion...Mark.
