trim around sink splashback

[ryanbrown]

When you have just a small area above a sink to tile with ceramics -
do you need to put plastic trim around all the three edges?

depends on the kind of tile your using, if ceramics then i usually do. Some tiles look better without the trim though

thanks, there just cheapo homebase white ceramics.

I can't really picture what you mean but if you're talking about sticking thick trim x 3 on a small cut then no, use something that doesn't look so harsh like silicone.

Generally you want to learn the art of siliconing because it can really make a standard job look rubbish-hot, and for areas such as your kitchen sink you'd automatically be thinking 'i'll get the gun out on this bit'.

If you're talking about tile trim then yes, you'll need to finish those edges off.

Some people just like to have a thin groutline to finish them off too.
