External Corner joints - are there any pictures please?

[Matt]

I'm sure if men got sick of the sight of you, there'd be something wrong with them. (Hoping to earn brownie points here :smilewinkgrin🙂

People posted pictures of mitre joints which are beyond my capabilities. I think it's going to have to be tile trim. Someone suggested the square-edged would be better as it may be easier for me to cut. I'm not mad on the plastic ones and I believe metal ones are a bit pricier, but maybe I'll have to fork out but then I already bought some plastic curvy stuff for under the window

If you haven't cut the trim, you can take it back to store and swap it against the chrome/gold/satin trims if you want

minnie, I've got a photie of some tiling I did with square edged trim, it was on a bath boxing, but the principle is the same, I'll post it for you

I know this is badly fitted, but does this help with your thoughts Minnie?

Nah, I decided to practice and cut an inch or two off. It was a mess!

How much are the non-plastic ones please?

Yes, and I think the metal looks much nicer than the plastic.

Where's the rest of the pictures of your bathroom eh?

I'm really annoyed as I really want to go and do some more tiling as I'm so behind, but my next wall is the wall that's going to need tile trim and I don't have any, so I can't do anything today, except maybe put one colnmn of tiles in. I assume if I'm to do a corner like that, rather than overlapping with the tile from the other wall, I take each tile right to the edge?

That's very neat and nice, clean and simple.

I had wanted to go for white as I figured it would make the horizontal tiling easier. However, my b/f said it reminded him of his four months in hospital. :mad2:

I had originally wanted to go for a 25x33 tile but realised there would be a lot of wastage when I inevitably screw up the horizontal tiling.

Have just found a picture of a square-edged trim and I'm wondering how difficult it could be if my tiles didn't end up flush with the trim.

That wasn't the trim i was thinking about to be honest. I was thinking square as in 90 degrees.. Maybe Flat would be a better description. 😀
