How to fit tile trims 

It's a pleasure Alexa. Glad you found the video useful.

Same here . Very simple . I'll try it.😂😂

So... I did try this. But I screwed it up. I found the trim line kept moving. I've also seen so many videos saying "go like the wind!" and I panicked I think. After my first mess up I've learnt a lot. Next time as a total novice I play to screw a vertical batten and push the trim to that so there is no way it can be pushed over the line I drew. I don't know if this is considered normal, but gives me that security the trim won't budge. Unless there is a reason I shouldn't do this?... I also noticed as I went up the trim, the tiles towards the ceiling would sit flush with the trim depth, and the lower wasn't due to the wall not being straight. So I presume I should add enough adhesive to have each tile to be the same depth as the trim? God loves a trier though, right? :D

@@muffinbubbleThanks for this. I’m about to do two showers this week and will be very careful about the level of the walls because they rarely are! I’m thinking I’ll install the trim first and let it set, then tile to the trim.

Good tip

afaik there's special corner trim pieces as well.

Sounds great but a mitre saw is several hundred £? Hardly worth it if it's just to cut a few trim pieces.

are you simply relying on the overlapping tile to hold the trim in place with it's adjacent adhesion, since the edge of the tile nor trim have wall adhesion behind it? Good 'nuff?

​@@icawnAs you tile and go up, the wall thin set gets added. And there is no chemical adheration with metal or plastic trim, it's a mechanical bond, so the thin set goes through those holes in the trim and behind it a little period so it's bonded plenty good enough. and then you can use a wedge to wedge it in or out, depending on how bad the wall is. As you go up, that works perfectly.

@@BonBon770 Yes but how does it do that if the blue tape is blocking the trim holes?

@@Participant616 You take the blue tape off as you tile up the wall.

I was wondering about that too

You don’t have to. The gap is too small to grout usually. And it looks better without it.

If the gap is small enough you don't need it

​@@usmc2msu213big enough 4 dirt and grime though

I’ve done it both ways and have defaulted to leaving a small grout line because the chances of having even a slight difference in one or more tiles is likely. A 1/32” difference is impossible to see in a grout line, but can be seen if tiles aren’t absolutely perfect when no grout line. Schulter trims have a bump out to maintain a consistent grout line, which I prefer. Just one less thing to think about.

Let's hope not! Hope the tiling went well. Feel free to share the results!

@@tilewarehouse2022 it turned out great thanks

Patience is the key both tile and wife..😂😂😂😂😂

You do not need to waterproof cement board.

Isn't that what the tile spacers are there to prevent?

I guess you are referring to using a spacer between the tile and the trim!?

​@theeighthduff4349 the guy literally says in the video, make sure the tiles are tight up against the trim... where between tight and right up against do the spacers go ffs

​@steves1460 yes steve just means you don't get uneven grout lines and no risk of grout falling out where it's to thin

Maybe read something else.

What's your point Cluso?

All wall tiles most certainly don’t have a bullnose available.

You’d rather have a brown ceramic edge than a trim? Each to his own!

@@awinbisa yes, personal.
