Herringbone bevel metro - what trim?! - TilersForums.com

[Deleted member 56490]

Hi, my tiler has recently suggested that beveled metro tile, herringbone, half wall will not look good as extra grout will be exposed on the trim. I'm intending to use white tiles, dark grey grout and black trim. Would a box trim work to the highest part of the tile with the lower part just showing extra trim? Ie no grout buildup? Thanks, any thoughts ideas welcome. As I'm not doing it, also looking at the simplest method to not add too much extra expense for tilers time

Correct, just extra trim , not extra grout. 👍

Thanks Dave, would you happen to have a picture of what a box trim would look like with irregular time depth from bevelling? Thank you for your input, I want to be clear with my builder/tiler.

I personally don’t no.

Thanks - but as a tiler, you'd think acceptable/ok to do beveled tiles in herringbone with half wall trim? I'm guessing making it look good is all in how even/clean the top line of tiles is cut so that the trim doesn't rest uneven on the cut tiles?

It will always show on a bevelled edge , keep the grout lines against the trim even and a neat edge is about all you can do when trimming. It’s not something in bevelled tiles I’d like.
