Hi again, sorry for any confusion caused, I originally asked if it was better or not to use trim on an external angle that is more than 90 degree's. From what I have heard on here I think I will go without the trim and mitre the tiles, but to add further fuel to the fire, should I leave a grout line or butt the tiles on the mitred joint, sorry for all the questions but it ain't half helpful, cheers.

Hi Rocky

I am not a lover of tile trim full stop, but I admit it has its uses.

I left my window, which some would have trimmed, au natural. The tiles were good enough for it and I grouted the edges. Looks fine to me. I think if you are using a 2mm grout line then you should only have to angle the inside edge of one tile to butt it up to the other, then grout. Make sure you don't leave yourself with a sharp edge.
Thats all I know - not much - but hope it goes well :lol:
