I've been tiling some 15 x 7.5 Fired Earth ceramic tiles in our kitchen over the weekend and I've completed most of the job, although now I've hit a snag - the trim around the window.

Can anyone advise the best way to actually fit the trim as shown in the photo below? To give it a neat look I was intending to fit it evenly on the external corner (as demonstrated), although trying to work out how to mitre this correctly is driving me potty!! :mad2: If I cut it at a 45 deg angle with the trim laid flat, it doesn't look right at all? :thumbsdown: So I'm guessing it's supposed to be fitted flat on the facing side of the wall instead, with a 45 deg cut as that does seem to work?

Sorry if I'm being a bit of a plum, but Fired Earth don't provide any photo examples of the trim and their online installation guide is really vague. Oh and this is definitely listed as "trim" and not a dado rail by the way!

turn it so that the flat edge of your trim is against the upstand of your mitre block:thumbsup:
 
Thanks for the help Doug, thought I was doing something silly but didn't want to keep wasting tiles!
