Unglazed tile edges

U

Unregistered

I'm part tiling my kitchen wall, and I've just opened a box of the tiles I ordered from my local tile shop to discover they have unglazed edges. The tiles are terracotta with a cream glaze so it means along all the outside corners (like the window sill) the horrible orrange edges show!

What can I cover them up with?
 
Go to your local tile shop again and get some tile edging strips...you can get some in cream to match........good luck...
 
Thanks! I suppose it soinds obvious but I didn't want to go back to the shop and ask for something silly!

hi anne, you can even get profiled corner pieces to neaten any returning corners etc........or if you are competent in using a mitre box and junior hacksaw you could mitre the corners, but as DIY'er the profiled ones are easier......

good luck........
 
its not silly to go back and ask Anne for something to cover the unsightly edges ,so do as Dave says and you will be spot on.
 
Thanks Dave I hadn't even thought of the corners 🙂

But that's a job for tomorrow I think, I'm having a glass of wine!
