Wall Tile Trim to cover the join between two brick tiled areas

[shring]

Hello all, I'm looking for any ideas and advice on the best solution for a wall tiling problem.

Customer wants wall tiled in brick / staggered pattern, one section in one colour and the other in a different colour tile.

I'm looking for a T section tile trim to join the two areas and cover the cut edges so to avoid a straight grout join.

I've been searching and found the following stainless product to give you an idea but it's 25mm wide which I think might be a bit big.

2nd from bottom on page:

T-shape Transition Join - 25mm

Just Stainless - Stainless Steel Tile & Edge Trim

Any ideas would be most welcome.

Cheers

not quite sure what you mean, but you can get internal or external angles (sometimes call thumb nails) that join on to the end of the trim..

No i think he means his customer wants brick effect but a squared section in a different colour. Like a splashback area behind a cooker?

Hi and welcome....

Sorry for not making this clearer.

They want a wall tiled in staggered brick pattern using brick size (ish) tiles across the entire wall but want to use two different colour tiles.

So one panel on the wall will be brick tiled grey and the other panel of the same wall will be brick tiled white.

I'm looking for a T section cover piece that can be used for joing the two panels so as not to have a striaght grout joint.

Do you mean a like a metal listello trim?

A standard metal trim like that will mean that cut edges of the half tiles are exposed either side of the trim and there'll be straight grout joints on both sides, which is why I'd prefer to cover the stright join with a T piece.

Thanks for your help chaps.

See what you mean now that you don't want the grout joints exposed they need to be under the trim.

Look on the transition profiles page, width is 14mm that may suffice
