45 deg external tiled corner
Done a quick google and can;t find a suitable trim online for this. In the
past I back cut the edge of the tile so they mated nicely with an even grout line. This time I would need to do about 200 tiles so not an option. Anyone got a clever answer or know of a suitable trim for 45 degrees? |

Builder who did our bathroom recently, had a piece of chrome plated metal strip bent to 90 degrees to finish an external corner. Can't say as I like it much, but if it was a little thinner (and bent to 45 degrees rather than 90) something similar might do the job for you. |

Where I am (Australia) every tile shop carries plastic and metal edge trims in various finishes. They come in 3M lengths and for a couple of thicknesses of tiles. I just did a step up into my bath, and because it is in a position that a mitre could get easily chipped I used a PVC one. They look in section like a quarter round with a leg on it. Say a letter"P" with a quod instead of a "D" at the top.Easy to use and set up. Gives a perfect bullnose corner. -- Pommie Bill R.O.F. http://www.builderbill-diy-help.com/ |

T We have them as well, but I've only ever seen them for a 90 degree angle, the OP wants something for a 45 degree angle. -- Chris French |
