A high-quality tile trim provides the essential finishing touch to any tiling project, shielding exposed tile edges from structural damage and moisture ingress. By concealing sharp, unglazed edges, these profiles prevent chipping and create a safe, smooth transition on external corners. Our collection is suitable for both wall and floor applications, ensuring a professional aesthetic in bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways.
FAQs on Tile Trims
How do I choose the correct size tile trim?
Measure the thickness of your tile and add 1–2mm to allow for the adhesive bed; a trim that is too shallow will sit below the tile surface, leaving the edge exposed.
What is the best material for floor tile trims?
Metal trims, specifically aluminium or stainless steel, are recommended for floors as they offer the necessary strength to withstand foot traffic and heavy impact without deforming.
Do I need to mitre the corners of the trim?
Yes, for a professional finish on external corners, trims should be cut at a 45-degree angle using a mitre box and a fine-toothed hacksaw to ensure the pieces join seamlessly.
Can tile trim be installed after the tiles are laid?
No, the trim must be installed simultaneously with the tiles, as its perforated anchoring leg needs to be set into the wet adhesive behind the tile.
