Straight Edge Tile Trim Supplier
Straight edge tile trim, also known as L-shaped trim, is a type of tile edging with a profile that forms a 90-degree angle. It has one leg that goes under the tile and another leg that extends outward to cover the tile edge. This trim is typically used where tile edges meet walls, countertops, or other surfaces at right angles. Straight edge tile trim provides a clean, crisp finish to tiled areas, enhancing the overall appearance while also protecting the exposed tile edges from chipping or damage. Straight edge tile trim is available in various materials such as aluminum, PVC, stainless steel, and brass.

FAQs about Straight Edge Tile Trim
Straight edge tile trim is a finishing and edging profile used to create clean, finished edges for tiled walls and floors. It provides protection for exposed tile edges while offering a smooth, professional look. Straight edge trim is an alternative to round edge trim and works especially well with rectified or square-edged tiles.
Straight edge tile trims come in a variety of materials to coordinate with your tile, including:
- Aluminum
- Stainless steel
- PVC plastic
- Brass
When selecting straight edge trim, choose a depth and height that matches your tile thickness. Ideally, go with trim that is about 1/8" deeper than your tile to allow room for the tile adhesive. Be sure to account for the thickness of any waterproofing membrane as well. Trims are commonly available in 8, 10, 12 and 15mm depths.
- Cut the tile trim to size using a hacksaw or trim snips.
- Apply tile adhesive to the wall or floor where the trim will be installed using a notched trowel.
- Press the trim firmly into the adhesive, making sure it is level and plumb.
- Apply adhesive to the back of the tiles and set them against the trim.
- Use tile spacers to maintain even grout lines.
- Allow the adhesive to dry completely before grouting.
- Apply grout along the joint between the tile and trim. For wet areas, maintain a small gap between the tile and trim and fill with grout or caulk to create a water-resistant seal.
