Bevelled Metro Tiles..... Trims, edges and window reveals.

[Chris Bates]

Hello,

This is the first time of posting and hope that someone can give me some advice or posing me in the right direction.

I've tiled successfully in the past and, in my opinion, done a decent job, but now face fitting bevelled tiles.

My question relates to the height of the tile trim around window reveals and edges.

My first idea was as drawing A. This allowed a thin quadrant edging and finished with a good edge next to the trim. Great so far.

Looking around I have only seen it done as B. Where the trim is at the same height as the top of the tile. This, in my opinion, looks messy as there is lots of grout around the bevel and we see a cut tile at the edge.

Then we move onto the window reveal, the quadrant trim has to be as drawing B, because of the cut tiles.

Can anyone recommend the neatest way of fitting the trim on Bevelled Metro tiles.

Do not use trim. Mitre.
