mitre for square chrome trim! - TilersForums.com

[59peejay]

Have two 3 way mitres to do into my kitchen window/sill 3 courses high into the returns,i am using 9mm square metal trim,am i right in thinking the way to do it is to cut the two horizontal pieces for the external corner as a normal mitre and the vertical piece with square cut end just buts up?.

That or buy the pre fab external corners, the finish with the cut mitre is ok but I like the pre fab.

Mitre the inside window pieces horizontal and vertical and then butt up the right handside horizontal.. much neater and no sharp point... mirror this on the left side.. easy peasy.

We are talking flat edge trim .. or box section..

As Dave has said above but I prefer to use the cubes that slot into the chrome trim itself. Much neater finish IMO.

Open box section(if that makes sense)homelux from topps,i presume the tile sits into the trim?.
Great tip to mitre the inside Dave never thought of that !spose thats why i'm only a sparky.

Can you get these to match the homelux square chrome trim?.

So flat edge trims then..

Nah you will have to mitre I think

No the other type that come back a bit parallel with the bit with the homelux stamp,like a open letter P.

Square Edge Metal Tiletrim

That's the one.

These are all the preformed corners for their trims and they don't do one for your type unfortunately, so it will be a case of mitres

Take em back and get better trim from somewhere else..

The trim with the cubes looks really nice, it's a proper solid, good quality trim. A lot of the chrome homelux trims are really light, and very easily scratched.. Hate it!
