Default Tile trim question.

When purchasing white plastic tile trim for external corners I notice
there are 6 & 9mm sizes, does this refer to the thickness of tile being
used. I am using 8mm thick tiles.

They come in 6mm, 9mm and 12mm for different thickness of tile. Some
sheds do lengths up to 2.44m although 1.8m seems to be more common.

For an 8mm tile use 9mm. Thickness of tile + tile cement.

On your box section -tile one side first and then fit the trim on the
second side to hide their edges of the tiles on the first side.

There are a couple of Youtube videos on the subject - some better than
others so watch a few.
