Tile trims

The materials of tile edge trims

Just as versatile as the shapes of tile profiles, are the materials they can be made of. We will explain here which material is best for you. In the blog we will also discuss "Tile rails - metal or plastic" again in a little more detail on the question.

Stainless steel tile trims:

With profiles made of stainless steel you get a particularly robust and durable variant. These are suitable for places that can be exposed to higher loads. The V2A stainless steel is also not susceptible to rust. Ideal for use outdoors or in wet areas. Tile rails made of stainless steel guarantee a noble look. You can choose between natural, brushed and polished surfaces.

Aluminium tile trims:

Tile profiles made of aluminum, you benefit from the versatile possibilities for surface processing. Such profiles can be powder-coated or anodized. This means that they are available in different colors such as black, silver or titanium. Furthermore, the processing of the surface ensures that the profiles are corrosion-resistant. Of course, it is also possible to choose profiles with an untreated surface. Tile profiles made of aluminum are used everywhere indoors.

PVC tile trims:

As the cheapest option we also offer tile profiles made of plastic in our shop. They are available in white or black. Remember that these profiles should only be used in areas that are not subject to heavy loads. However, they are a good alternative for protecting your tile edges in less stressed areas.

Brass tile trims:

With brass profiles we offer a special variant of a tile profile in the shop. The brass angle profile offers you an extravagant look that is ideal in combination with dark tiles. These profiles are also characterized by their high robustness. Perfect for an individual tile finish.

The heights of our tile edge trims

Angle profiles offer the largest selection of heights. Here you can choose between 2 - 30 mm. The small heights are perfect for coverings such as vinyl. Heights from 20 mm are particularly suitable for thick tiles and slabs. Our quarter-circle profiles and square profiles are available in standard heights 6 - 12.5 mm.

When choosing the height, it is important to remember to choose it 1 - 2 mm higher than the thickness of the tile. Only then will you get a flush finish on the tiles. Only a flush result guarantees the protection of the tile edges. In addition, there are no tripping hazards if the profile and tile are laid flush.

In the blog "The correct selection of the height of a tile rail" let's look at the topic in more detail.

Areas of application for tile edge trims:

Tile edge profiles are an indispensable element when laying tiles. They guarantee you a long-lasting and clean tile finish.

Tile trims in the bathroom:

In tiled bathrooms tile profiles are often used, for example, with tiled wall elements. In showers, we recommend tile strips made of stainless steel. Outside of wet areas, other materials such as aluminum or brass can also be used. The variety of colors and surfaces ensure that you are sure to find a suitable profile with us that fits in with the look of your room.

Tile trims in the kitchen:

Tile backsplashes that serve as splash guards can be covered with our tile profiles. They can be finished cleanly and in a visually appealing way. They replace a silicone or acrylic border that needs to be redrawn over time. The profiles, on the other hand, do not wear out and offer a long-lasting, sustainable solution.

Tile trims in the living area:

When it comes to transitions between different floor coverings or when laying vinyl, our tile rails the first choice. For vinyl floors, angle profiles with the small heights. Every room with tiles benefits from a clean finish with our tile profiles.

Tile trims for steps and stairs:

Particularly tile profiles made of stainless steel are often used to protect the edges of tiled stairs. These prevent the tiled steps from being damaged. Stainless steel profiles are particularly suitable here, as they are the most robust and ensure long-lasting functionality despite the high levels of wear and tear on stairs.

Tile trims for outdoor use:

Tile rails made of stainless steel can also be used outdoors without any problems. Due to the material, they are particularly corrosion-resistant. Here, the profiles can be used, for example, to finish off balcony or terrace slabs.
