Architectural Tile Trims and Tiling Angles

Tile trims or tile edgings are placed on the rims and corners of your tiles to create clean lines. They create a smooth transition from your tiles to any other material. Trims are often used to give your tile work a professional finish and pleasing aesthetic. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, suitable for all sorts of purposes.

Architectural trims and tile angles are about more than making your tiling look good though, they can also play an integral part in maintaining your home’s structure. First, they cover up the exposed edges of your tiles. Without them, these edges could absorb water and other forms of moisture, affecting the strength and reliability of the tiles. This could lead to cracking and other forms of damage to your tiles. The tile edge trims also make the connection between the tiles stronger and more durable. Further, they protect your tiles by reducing the stress on them by allowing some absorption of lateral movement. They also help to absorb impacts, decreasing the risk of damage to your tiles. But which trims do you need for your tiling job?

Choosing Tile Trims and Tiling Angles

Choosing your tile trims can be just as important – and exciting – as choosing the tiles themselves. At Tilers Online, we offer everything from plastic angle trims in a variety of colours to different metal tile edging strips. Choose a tile edge that matches your tiles and preferences, as well as meets your functional needs. For instance, aluminium trim angles may be just as functional as plastic angles, but they are pretty different aesthetically. One may suit the look of your tiled surface more than the other.

Brass Angles

Speaking of different types of angles, brass angles are a popular type of trim. Brass angles are designed to protect tile corners from chipping and wearing, while looking great. As a metal, brass is often associated with sophistication, but it also has some handy natural properties. For instance, brass is naturally durable and resistant to chemicals. Therefore, brass trims can withstand moderate to harsh installation environments and will not stain or fade from chemical use. Just make sure the brass is sealed, otherwise it can tarnish.

Stainless Steel Angles

Stainless steel angles are heavy-duty trims. These metal tile trims are mostly used for exterior and industrial applications. They are suitable for a high-stress environment or where a high level of protection is needed. They typically feature a perforated anchoring leg for a secured bond below the tiled surface. If you’re looking at trims for your bathroom, you may not be concerned about these applications but rather the sleek look of stainless steel.

Aluminium Angles

Aluminium is an incredibly versatile material and trims made from it can come in a variety of colours and finishes. Because of this, aluminium trims can be paired with different ceramic tiles and stones. So if you’re having trouble matching your wall or floor tiles to a trim or edging, aluminium will likely have the range you need. They are also anodised to avoid corrosion and protect the finish against scratching, so your tiles will look better for longer.

Corner Trims

Corner trims are what you need to connect two different tiled areas, such as connecting wall tiles to floor tiles. Not only do they bring the two surfaces together cohesively, but they also help protect wall corners from stress caused by bumps and general foot traffic. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about tiles cracking and needing to replace them.

Diminishing Trims

Diminishing trims create a ramped transition between one flooring surface to another. They are designed to protect people from possible trip hazards when two different kinds of flooring meet and create an uneven surface. You may see these trims used a lot in public spaces, but they should also be considered in homes to keep everyone safe.

Expansion Joints

When looking at trims, you may want to consider an expansion or movement joint. This piece goes in between tile gaps to allow movement to help prevent your tiles cracking under pressure. Installed in certain areas and parts of your floor, they can also prevent tiles and grout from breaking.
