Aluminum Square Shape Chorme Tile Edge Trim

As a standard manufacturing rule, you should choose a tile trim that is one size larger than your tile thickness to allow space for the tile adhesive (thinset). For a 10mm tile, an 11mm or 12mm depth square tile trim is ideal. If the trim is exactly 10mm, the tile will sit higher than the metal edge, exposing the sharp tile edge and ruining the flush alignment.

Standard raw aluminum will oxidize, but our profiles are extruded from high-purity 6063-T5 aluminum alloy and undergo a professional chemical polishing and anodizing process. This creates an integrated surface layer that isolates moisture and oxygen. It will not rust, peel, or tarnish in shower or wet-room environments, provided you avoid using highly acidic or harsh chemical tile cleaners during installation.

Yes, installers can cut them at a 45-degree angle using a miter box and a high-quality hacksaw or a chop saw with a non-ferrous metal blade. However, to eliminate sharp corners and save labor costs on-site, we highly recommend purchasing our matching solid alloy 3-way corner corner pieces (corner blocks), which provide a cleaner, safer, and faster finish.
