Schluter edge profiles - Tile Advice

[Mad Hatter]

Evening all,

I've got a job next week and I need to use an edging strip but I'm using 6mm Hardibackers under the tile, what's the best way to fix the profile under the Hardibacker so that it can't be seen?

Can you elaborate a bit more...can't see why you would want to put the profile trim under the hardi..?

Sorry it is a bit vague, the kitchen to be tiled leads onto a open plan dining area that drops down with a step. So that the edge of the the tile isn't visible I was planning to put a metal trim on the edge of the tile, but thinking about it I'd need a bigger trim so that the edge of the hardibacker can't be seen either.

My concern is what's the best way to fix the trim under the Hardi, I was thinking about some addy and screwing down at the edge hardi so that it gets a good grip on the trip.

That last sentence should be about getting a grip on the trim and not the trip!:smash:

Just leave the hardi short of the step edge..fix trim and infill with addy then fix tile....

You can get a schluter Reno trim in a few sizes..so no probs...

Cheers Dave, I'll have a look at the Schluter site for that.
