Materials for Our Angle Tile Trims
Choose from a variety of materials for our angle tile trims, including aluminum, stainless steel, PVC, and brass. Each material offers unique advantages depending on the application area:
Aluminum Angle Tile Trims:
Our aluminum angle trims come in a range of finishes. Anodized trims are treated with a protective layer through a chemical process, while powder-coated trims feature a uniform appearance. Natural aluminum angle trims are also available. These surface treatments allow for a wide selection of colors and designs, primarily suited for indoor use. Note: contact with copper should be avoided.
Stainless Steel Angle Tile Trims:
Stainless steel angle trims are available in V2A and V4A grades, differentiated by their composition. These trims are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. V2A trims offer durability and resistance to moisture and corrosion, available in natural, brushed, or polished finishes. V4A trims are ideal for areas exposed to chlorine or hydrochloric acid.
PVC Angle Tile Trims:
PVC angle trims are the most affordable option, with the additional benefit of being available in a wide variety of colors. While they are less robust than aluminum, stainless steel, or brass, PVC trims are ideal for low-impact areas.
Brass Angle Tile Trims:
Brass angle trims provide a unique, stylish finish for tiles. Over time, they develop a patina that adds individual charm. These trims are durable and robust, making them a versatile choice for interior spaces. However, avoid contact with acidic cleaning agents to preserve their appearance.
Available Heights for Our L-Shaped Tile Trims
Our range includes L-shaped tile trims in heights from 2 to 30 mm. Lower heights are perfect for vinyl floors, while the larger sizes are ideal for thicker materials, like terrace tiles.
When selecting the height, it’s important to choose a trim that is 1-2 mm higher than the tile or slab thickness. This slight buffer allows for a flush finish, accommodating the additional height from the tile adhesive. Choosing a trim that’s too low will leave the tile edge unprotected, while a trim that’s too high may create a tripping hazard.
Angle Tile Trims in Action
Angle tile trims stand out with their simple, versatile design, available in a variety of colors, materials, and finishes. Here are some practical examples of their applications:
L-Profiles for Wall Elements:
Finishing tiled wall elements is one of the most common uses for angle tile trims. All materials can be used here, though aluminum or stainless steel is recommended near wet areas. To install these profiles around corners, miter cuts are required for a precise fit.
Angle Tile Trims for Stair Edges:
For tiled stairs, angle trims provide the most effective edge protection. Aluminum and stainless steel trims are particularly suitable due to their durability, offering superior protection for stair edges. This robustness is essential due to the higher impact on stairs.
Angle Tile Trims on Balconies and Terraces:
With heights up to 30 mm, angle trims can be used for thicker outdoor tiles. Stainless steel profiles are recommended for outdoor areas as they resist corrosion and are better suited to withstand the elements.
Angle Trims in Showers:
For tiled niches, our stainless steel L-profiles are ideal. When properly installed, they are rust-resistant, making them perfect for wet areas. Brushed stainless steel angle trims also pair seamlessly with our shower profiles. Miter cuts are required for corner installations here as well.
Angle Tile Trims Between Flooring Types:
Angle trims provide a subtle boundary between tile and other flooring types. Their slim visible edge creates a harmonious, understated division between two flooring materials.
