The stuff I've used isn't a perfect quadrant so you can tell if you look
closely. But IIRC there are different types of this edging depending on
tile thickness - and mine is for the thicker ones. The stuff for
'ordinary' wall tiles might be better.

Yes, likewise. These tiles are 10mm thick. They are a killer to get up the
stairs from the car at 26kg for a pack of 8 ! They are actually made in
China by the looks of it, and the quality is nothing short of superb. So
far, I haven't had a single one come out of the box chipped or damaged in
any way. The only thing separating them in the box, is a thin piece of
expanded polystyrene 'paper'. Considering the price that he is doing the
'plain' polished limestone (effect) tile for (£15.99 / sq m), it makes you
wonder how they can make them, ship them that vast distance, import them,
wholesale them and finally retail them, and still all make a profit !

In case anyone has a local branch, the outfit is called Al Murad, and
based on my experience, I would recommend them to anyone. Very helpful and
knowledgable, and very efficient at getting stuff in for you. Huge range
of catalogues, and they can get you pretty much anything you might want
from them.
