Tile Trims

Tile trims are used to complete the edges of a tiled area, usually corners where you would otherwise be left with an exposed edge, which is vulnerable to damage and generally gives the area an unfinished appearance. Your tiling project will be finished perfectly with the help of a tile trim.

If you want a clean, protected edge with a professional finish with no sharp or jagged edges then you will need to get tile trims at the edges of your tiling. The only time a trim might not be required is when tiles are flush with adjacent surfaces, negating the requirement for an edge.

Tile edge trims are recommended to conceal hard lines, shaved off sharp edges, and they seal against moisture. They also reduce the risk of the tiles chipping and cracking from impacts.

Stainless steel and Aluminium are the most popular trim material due to their very durable nature and resistance to corrosion and scratches. It has a great mechanical strength and is quite robust, although we also have a great range of Aluminium, Brass and Copper trims as well, which provide a more pleasing aesthetic and additional colours to suit your needs.

You should select a trim that is one size larger than the depth of your chosen tile in order to allow for the usage of adhesive. For instance, to ensure a seamless fit, we’d recommend a 12.5mm tile trim if your tile is 10mm thick.

Tile trims are used to create a polished and professional finish for tiled surfaces. They also provide protection for the edges of the tiles and prevent them from chipping or cracking.

Yes, you can paint tile trim to match your tiles. However, it is important to use the correct type of paint and to prepare the surface properly before painting.

If you aren’t sure which tile trims you might need, we can provide a recommendation based on your requirements. In order to give you the most accurate product choice, we would need the dimensions of your tiling project, the type, size and colour of tiles you are using, and any specific requirements you may have.
