Default Looking for trim

I'm looking for some tile trim - pic at:

I live in France and can't locate any curved stuff like this here - has
anyone sighted any in the UK?

It's standard stuff in near all the UK sheds and available in many colours
plus 'chrome' Since the colours are rarely an exact match to the tiles the
more expensive 'chrome' looks good with darker colour tiles.

Your pic shows a rather badly made mitre. ;-) It's best to only mitre the
actual curved section and cut the rest as a butt joint.

Have you tried Castorama? BTW the reason you can't find it is that the
French spit prefer to use ceramic tile edging, as he

Don't know if they do what your are looking for but try your local Cedeo
(http://www.cedeo.fr). If they don't do it they should be able to point
you in the right direction. I've found them helpful in the past.

Cheers

Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried Castorama but if I come up
with nothing the UK it is. Sorry you hate the French, Steve. We all get
on well with them in my neck of the woods so I must be suspect too:-(
