Tile edge trims: choose height from the finished build-up
Choose a tile edge trim against the tile and setting detail, not colour alone. Section height, visible face and anchoring geometry all affect the finished edge.
Selection considerations
Check tile thickness and the approved adhesive arrangement with the tiling contractor. Identify whether the trim finishes an external corner, exposed edge or material junction. Similar decorative faces can belong to different installation geometries.
Confirm material and finish against the cleaning and exposure conditions. Include corner pieces where available and specify how cut ends are treated. Do not use a decorative edge trim as a substitute for a movement detail. Keep the selected BULDX code on the room or finish schedule to distinguish neighbouring sizes during installation.
Before you specify or order
- Coordinate tile thickness and setting
- Identify edge geometry
- Keep size references on the finish schedule

Common question
Can tile thickness alone determine the selected trim?
It is an important input, but the anchoring and setting detail must also be checked.
