wrong size trim?

[hayley]

i've just had my kitchen re-tiled and for some reason the trim on all the wall tiles over-hangs the tiles by about a centimetre...

i thought tile trims were supposed to be flush with the tiles, but my tiler was making up a hundred excuses as to why it wasn't level...

am i right in thinking the trim shouldn't stick out further from the wall than the tiles??

any advice would be appreciated!!

We call that 5mm and Yes still too much.

i dont fit trims dead flush , what about a cut tile?? a very slight overhang no more than 1mm but the ops are way too much..

Well, yeah the tile sits in the trim, so yeah you have a over hang onto the tile, but it's only a mill or so max init.

Hi chaps , chapesses
Worst for me so far....
Bevelled edge with brickbond splash back, created an "overhang",
and was about 3>4mm to tuck the cut edge centre of the tile in.
Been using the flat trims lately as opposed to the quadrant...much better in all aspects....anyone else use these ?...or am I behind times ?
