That's why they make edge tiles... though probably not avaialable for
the cheaper end of the rage wall tiles, plastic edging strip is
cheaper. Can't think of any reasons why edging strip can't be used
either.

I'd love to find a source of edge tiles but haven't seen them for
years. Edging strip is a bit of a pain and doesn't seem to be
particularly cheap to me but the reason for not using it here is about
the dimensions and keeping a number of different edges in line.


Hardwood mouldings can be useful. You realise how rough tile edges are
once you paint them!
