Bevelled Metro Tiles..... Trims, edges and window reveals. - TilersForums.com

What about leaving the biscuit back exposed ?

Painters chalk....
Trouble you get with metros is the middle of the tile is 8mm the top 6mm so an 8mm trims on the top ends up with a horrible lip......personal choice really.....I've done it both ways but hate the lip at the top.

Yeah there's always the difference in thickness between the bevel and cut. I don't think it looks bad. Personally unless it's a rustic tile I think no trim doesn't look right on an edge.

Weve all trimmed it and grouted thousands of times between us ,

You used to be able to get full half tiles bevelled all the way round , not seen them for years though .
Diagram 2 or mitred

Thanks for your comments.

Spinning the tile around as Drawing A appears not to be recommended.

I did consider not using trim on the edges, but I reckon on the tile edges look unsightly, these days.

I think I'll get some trim, cut a few tiles and mock something up.

Square edge trim usually looks better and less abvious than round edge

Diagram B is correct .. Also you could reduce the whole tile just after the bevel to achieve the same thickness (8mm) consistent to suit for trim...if that makes sense

Thanks, I'll bear it in mind.

Thanks. Yes it does make sense. I've considered this as well.

You could Start on the 3/4 of the tile and you get even height on the the trim with both cuts as long as you don't get small cuts in the corners and around the windows
