The Easy Way to Laying Your Tile Trims

An exposed tile edge will pave way for damage and quick wear and tear in due time. To ensure a long-lasting finish on your tiles, it is important to ensure that the tile’s edges and the corners have a professional finish.

After learning about all the practical details about your tile trims, you may find it overwhelming to zero down on one for your floors and walls. However, our professional tile trim experts at Mitcham Tile Centre strive to provide you with top tips on installing and fitting the tile trims for your homes in Melbourne.

Firstly, it is important to learn about the different types of tile trims available. Some of them are

• Bull nose: Be it corners of walls, shower niches, windowsills, or counter tops,
• Chair Rails: These tile trims are used to frame stove splashes and any other mosaic designs.
• V-Caps: These are used to completely cover perpendicular corners like windowsills and shower partitions.

Others are flat liners, pencil liners, edge glazing, quarter rounds, and cove base. Once you have zeroed in on the right tile trim, the following can be performed:

• Prep Work: Start by sanding down rough areas, removing old adhesives, old wax build-ups, and tapping down exposed nail heads, if any.
• Calculate the Square Footage: Multiplying the length of the room by the width will provide you with the square footage required.
• Cutting: While cutting, it is important to note that the trim must be positioned and cut at 45° angles at wall edges and bases. Use a mitre box to cut the trim and use clamps to hold the trim firmly in place.
• Adhering: With some chalk, mark the surfaces on the wall where the tile trims must be installed and use the right adhesive for the same.
• Apply Grout: Fill the areas of the trim and allow it to dry. Now apply a sealer on the surfaces and continue with installing the rest of the tiles.
