Materials and finishes
Tile edges: trims, mitres and bullnose
How a tiled surface finishes at its edge is one of the clearest signals of the standard of workmanship.
Common questions
Is trim a budget option?
No, well-chosen trim is a deliberate detail and protects the tile edge.
Do mitres chip?
They can if knocked, which is why they suit less exposed corners.
How it performs
- Mitred external corners look seamless and
- require accurate cutting and a robust arris that will not chip.
- Metal or matched trims are durable and honest
- particularly on high-traffic external corners.
Want the awkward part looked at first?
Access, existing pipework and floor build-up are the things that change a plan. Those get checked before anything is promised.
