Thanks for all you previous advice.
I have tiled around widows before ok using plastic tile edging
I now have one flat wall that will be part tiled and part painted.A good edge is needed between tile and painted part
Thinking of using tile edging from floor to ceiling
Do you fit trim to wall first then tile away from it using it as a vertical edge or do you put up tiles leaving the final row till after you fit trim

Any help appreciated

If I've visualised what you're asking, I put trim on corner, and tile out from it:thumbsup:

the trim will cover edge well,even chrome ones add a bit of class.try with a full tile if possible from trim with cut at inner corner? i fit trims at same time as tiles when all is soft making sure the adhesive is catching the trim well too.

If you've marked evrything out and you're ending with a full tile at that end, id stick the trim up 1st and work off it. I just stick it to the wall with a bit of addy, pressting the trim into it with a scraper/trowel and removing excess addy. :thumbsup:
