Does porcelain paving need edging?
Why do you need to edge your porcelain paving? Porcelain tiles are usually rectified, which basically means that the edges are ground down to create a perfectly straight and even edge. This helps to keep the tiles the same size which in turn creates even grout lines.
Can tile trim be used outside?
Tile Trims & Edging
The great outdoors can be an inhospitable place when you want to keep your outdoor tiles looking their best. External tile trims are formed corners that protect the edging of your outdoor tiles from damage.
What tile trim do you use for external corners?
Coloured plastic or chrome corner trims will protect tiles on external corners from damage and give the edge a neat finish. You can use the trim along the edges of tiled door and window recesses as well. 1.
Do you grout outdoor porcelain tiles?
For porcelain patios, you will need to use an exterior paving grout (Pavestone Exterior Tile Grout). Most tubs of paving grout come with multiple bags of powdered mix. These allow you to make up smaller batches of grout when pointing your patio.

Align your porcelain stoneware terrace paving joints
Porcelain patios require you to use Pavestone Exterior Tile Grout.
Most tubs of paving mortar come with several bags of powdered mix. These allow you to make smaller batches of grout when leveling your deck. We recommend making small batches to avoid waste as the grout will begin to harden after mixing (especially in hot weather).
1) Make sure the panels are clean and dry
Make sure the pavers are free of dust and debris
Make sure the grout is dry (wet grout can prevent the grout from hardening and cause discolouration).
2) Mix the grout
Each bag of grout mix contains a precise amount of water to which you add the powder.
Always consult the packaging/instructions for the exact amount of water per sachet.
Use fresh, clean water (and a clean bucket).
Measure your water carefully.
Pour the right amount into a mixing bucket or tub and slowly pour in a sachet of powder.
Mix using an electric drill with a mixing paddle attachment, or use a dedicated electric paddle mixer.
Make sure the mixture is smooth and lump-free (it should have a thick, creamy texture).
3) Apply the grout and then wipe away the excess residue
Are outdoor porcelain tiles slippery when wet?
In summary, outdoor porcelain does become a little slippery when it is wet or with snow, but not any more slippery than you’d find with a flamed granite or a traditional concrete paver.
20mm Tile Trims
Every day we receive many questions from landscapers, contractors and landscape architects about outdoor porcelain stoneware. Below we have summarized the 10 most important questions about porcelain stoneware for outdoor use: 1. Aren’t porcelain stoneware intended for bathrooms and kitchens? Can I use porcelain stoneware outdoors? Yes – to both! Porcelain tile was a prime replacement for the ceramic tile used in bathrooms and kitchens in the past. Porcelain tile is far superior to ceramic tile in that it absorbs almost no water, being much more densely packed, fired at a higher temperature and much more durable in all conditions. Traditional porcelain stoneware tiles have been used indoors, but in the last 5 years the use of porcelain stoneware tiles outdoors has become increasingly popular. It all started when architects and designers wanted to continue the same design aesthetic from the inside out. Today, outdoor porcelain tiles are very common in Europe, especially in places with a similar climate to Canada, as they easily withstand freeze-thaw cycles and are waterproof. 2. Are porcelain stoneware tiles slippery outdoors? Can you slip on outdoor porcelain when it is wet or snowing? No – outdoor porcelain is not slippery. Similar to natural stone or concrete, there are many different types of finishes possible with porcelain stoneware tiles, with varying levels of traction with each type of finish. All Porcea Stone porcelain tiles are designed for use in outdoor landscapes and are specifically rated to meet North American slip resistance standards. All of our exterior pavers are rated R11 or higher, which is similar to flamed granite in terms of texture and slip. We can also provide ASTM reports to show the Dynamic Coefficient of Slip Resistance (DCOF) for our Porcea Stone Paving. In summary, outdoor porcelain gets a bit slippery when wet or snowy, but no more slippery than a flamed granite or a traditional concrete pavement. 3. Is outdoor china difficult to cut? What is the best way to cut outdoor porcelain stoneware? The short answer – water cutting with a continuous diamond blade. This is a question we get asked all the time by contractors and installers. In truth, all the benefits of porcelain stoneware outdoor paving such as <0.1% water absorption, resistance to UV fading and resistance to salt/moss/chemical stains result in a material that is very dense and durable. As a result, porcelain is a difficult material to cut, and 20mm or 30mm outdoor porcelain pavers are even more difficult to cut. With the right blade (ask a Porcea expert which one to use!), which is a continuous diamond blade, and the use of water, you can cut pavers with precision. 4. Is it possible to get matching caps and steps from outdoor porcelain? Yes, depending on budget and schedule. As a leader in outdoor porcelain, our commitment is to work with you on your projects and help you find practical and aesthetic solutions for your project. In most cases we advise you to use natural stone or concrete steps as porcelain stoneware is still a very large outdoor flooring option. With this in mind, outdoor porcelain caps and steps can be custom made for you if you want to achieve a seamless look. 5. What is the best way to lay porcelain stoneware outdoors? Outdoor porcelain is an extremely versatile product when it comes to installation. The four common methods for installing outdoor porcelain are grass, base, sand/gravel, or concrete and mortar. Our industry-leading Porcea Stone blog covers each one in more detail. The big caution with outdoor china is that the joints should be tight but the pieces should not touch as this can cause movement of the pieces and chipping at the edges over time. We typically recommend a 1/8″ gap between outdoor porcelain tiles. Take a look at a recent project using Porcea Sand outdoor porcelain tiles, laid on grass as stepping stones. 6. What is rectified vs. non-rectified outdoor porcelain? Simply put, non-rectified porcelain is lower quality outdoor porcelain. There are five steps to producing a high-quality outdoor porcelain: Raw materials are pressed into a tile mold depending on the desired size. The tiles are baked in an oven at over 1200 degrees Celsius for 60-90 minutes. The tiles are cooled on a drying rack to allow them to harden. Tiles are rectified, which means all sides are machine cut to perfection. Tiles undergo extensive quality control and are packaged for shipment. For non-rectified exterior tiles, step D is skipped as this is an expensive part of the production process. This means that the level of tolerance increases significantly with each tile as the tile edges are not cut perfectly at 90 degrees. Porcea Stone recommends using only fully rectified outdoor porcelain stoneware tiles for all projects, since non-rectified material requires larger laying joints, which in turn can cause pieces to move over time. Another common name for non-rectified tiles is exterior pressed porcelain tiles. 7. Is outdoor porcelain tile worth the extra cost/money? We're a little biased when it comes to this question, but let's get all the facts straight. Do you agree it's unfair to compare an Italian sports car to an American or Chinese sedan? The same logic applies to outdoor porcelain stoneware. Here are the facts: Maintenance - Natural stone and concrete pavers often require ongoing maintenance as they absorb more water compared to outdoor porcelain, resulting in stains from road salt and surrounding leaves or trees. Landscape architects often tell us that outdoor porcelain saves their clients $0.50 to $1.00/SQF in ongoing maintenance costs every year compared to natural stone or concrete pavers. INSTALLATION - Unlike concrete pavers, outdoor porcelain comes in much larger slabs/slabs, meaning you cover a much larger area each time you install a tile. In addition, Porcea Stone porcelain stoneware pavers are fully rectified and consistent, meaning there is no need to re-level the sub-floor or spend extra time cutting or sorting pieces. This means that when installing outdoor porcelain, you or your contractor can save time and reduce installation costs in a project. Aesthetics - Our exclusive collection of outdoor porcelain stoneware tiles has been designed with beauty and practicality in mind. The multiple options mean you can create a unique look for your specific project, whether the aim is to find a stone look in outdoor porcelain stoneware, a wood look in outdoor porcelain stoneware tile or a concrete look in outdoor pavers. Finally and most importantly, Porcea Stone is competitively priced whether you are comparing our products to outdoor porcelain from China, India or any other European country. We will work with you to ensure we find a suitable option for your specific budget and project. 8. Can I put china on my driveway? Yes, you can lay 30mm or 3cm thick outdoor porcelain stoneware on driveways using the same method you use today to lay concrete pavers. We recommend a gravel base and using a broken brick or herringbone pattern to lay out the pavers. You must also use spacers between the joints to ensure that the porcelain stoneware tiles do not move when vehicles turn their wheels or heavy objects are placed on the surface. 9. How can I tell if my outdoor china is of high quality? First, assess where it is made. Second, identify if it's fixed. Third, determine if it is 20mm or 30mm. Made in Italy, Porcea Stone tiles are the finest, highest quality outdoor porcelain tiles on the market. They are fully rectified to ensure all pieces are perfectly cut and pass our 90 degree right angle tests. Finally, all of our products are true 20mm and 30mm thick, unlike many other manufacturers who may cut corners and offer a 18mm or 28mm thick porcelain, saving them money but end up compromising on the quality of the product . Poor quality outdoor china leads to product breakage after installation, problems with overheating of the glaze from the sun, stains from road salts, higher water absorption and many other challenges that lead to a reduction in the longevity of your overall project. All these small nuances are often difficult for a layman to assess, so please do not hesitate to contact a Porcea Stone expert if you would like advice on whether the outdoor porcelain stoneware pavers you have chosen are the Quality and precision meet the highest standards. 10. What is the weight of porcelain stoneware tiles for outdoor use? The answer to this question is somewhat nuanced depending on the thickness of the tile and also the texture or relief of the tile. Porcea Stone 20mm outdoor porcelain weighs between 4kg and 4.5kg per SQF, while our 30mm outdoor porcelain pavers weigh between 6kg and 6.5kg per SQF.

Ja, Sie können 30 mm oder 3 cm starkes Feinsteinzeug für den Außenbereich auf Einfahrten verlegen, mit der gleichen Methode, die Sie heute zum Verlegen von Betonpflastersteinen verwenden. Wir empfehlen eine Kiesbasis und die Verwendung eines gebrochenen Ziegel- oder Fischgrätenmusters, um die Pflastersteine auszulegen. Sie müssen auch Abstandshalter zwischen den Fugen verwenden, um sicherzustellen, dass sich die Feinsteinzeugfliesen nicht bewegen, wenn Fahrzeuge ihre Räder drehen oder schwere Gegenstände auf der Oberfläche liegen. 9. Wie kann ich feststellen, ob mein Outdoor-Porzellan von hoher Qualität ist? Beurteilen Sie zunächst, wo es hergestellt wird. Zweitens, identifizieren Sie, ob es behoben ist. Bestimmen Sie drittens, ob es sich um 20 mm oder 30 mm handelt. Die in Italien hergestellten Fliesen von Porcea Stone sind die besten und hochwertigsten Porzellanfliesen für den Außenbereich auf dem Markt. Sie sind vollständig rektifiziert, um sicherzustellen, dass alle Teile perfekt geschnitten sind und unsere Tests für rechte Winkel von 90 Grad bestehen. Schließlich sind alle unsere Produkte echte 20 mm und 30 mm dick, im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Herstellern, die vielleicht Abstriche machen und ein 18 mm oder 28 mm dickes Porzellan anbieten, wodurch sie Geld sparen, aber am Ende Kompromisse bei der Qualität des Produkts eingehen. Outdoor-Porzellan von schlechter Qualität führt zu Produktbruch nach der Installation, Problemen mit der Überhitzung der Glasur durch die Sonne, Flecken durch Tausalze, höherer Wasseraufnahme und vielen anderen Herausforderungen, die zu einer Verringerung der Langlebigkeit Ihres Gesamtprojekts führen. All diese kleinen Nuancen sind für einen Laien oft schwer zu beurteilen, also zögern Sie bitte nicht, sich an einen Porcea Stone-Experten zu wenden, wenn Sie sich beraten lassen möchten, ob die von Ihnen ausgewählten Feinsteinzeug-Pflastersteine für den Außenbereich die höchsten Standards erfüllen Qualität und Präzision. 10. Welches Gewicht haben Feinsteinzeugfliesen für den Außenbereich? Die Antwort auf diese Frage ist je nach Dicke der Fliese und auch der Textur oder des Reliefs der Fliese etwas nuanciert. Das 20-mm-Porzellan für den Außenbereich von Porcea Stone wiegt zwischen 4 kg und 4,5 kg pro SQF, während unsere 30-mm-Porzellanpflaster für den Außenbereich zwischen 6 kg und 6,5 kg pro SQF wiegen.
Wir erhalten täglich viele Fragen von Landschaftshändlern, Bauunternehmern und Landschaftsarchitekten zu Feinsteinzeug für den Außenbereich. Nachfolgend haben wir die 10 wichtigsten Fragen zu Feinsteinzeug für den Außenbereich zusammengefasst: 1. Sind Feinsteinzeug nicht für Badezimmer und Küchen gedacht? Kann ich Feinsteinzeug im Außenbereich verwenden? Ja – zu beidem! Porzellanfliesen waren ein erstklassiger Ersatz für Keramikfliesen, die in der Vergangenheit in Badezimmern und Küchen verwendet wurden. Porzellanfliesen sind Keramikfliesen weit überlegen, da sie fast kein Wasser absorbieren, da sie viel dichter gepackt, bei einer höheren Temperatur gebrannt und unter allen Bedingungen viel haltbarer sind. Traditionelle Feinsteinzeugfliesen wurden im Innenbereich verwendet, aber in den letzten 5 Jahren ist die Verwendung von Feinsteinzeugfliesen im Außenbereich immer beliebter geworden. Alles begann damit, dass Architekten und Designer die gleiche Designästhetik von innen nach außen fortsetzen wollten. Heutzutage sind Porzellanfliesen für den Außenbereich in Europa sehr verbreitet, insbesondere an Orten mit einem ähnlichen Klima wie Kanada, da sie problemlos Frost-Tau-Zyklen standhalten und wasserundurchlässig sind. 2. Sind Feinsteinzeugfliesen im Außenbereich rutschig? Kann man bei Nässe oder Schnee auf Outdoor-Porzellan ausrutschen? Nein – Outdoor-Porzellan ist nicht rutschig. Ähnlich wie bei Naturstein oder Beton gibt es viele verschiedene Arten von Oberflächen, die bei Feinsteinzeugfliesen möglich sind, mit unterschiedlichen Traktionsniveaus bei jeder Art von Oberflächenbehandlung. Alle Feinsteinzeugfliesen von Porcea Stone sind für den Einsatz in Landschaften im Freien konzipiert und speziell so bewertet, dass sie die nordamerikanischen Standards für Rutschfestigkeiten erfüllen. Alle unsere Pflasterklinker für den Außenbereich sind mit R11 oder höher bewertet, was in Bezug auf Textur und Schlupf einem geflammten Granit ähnelt. Wir können auch ASTM-Berichte zur Verfügung stellen, um den dynamischen Koeffizienten der Rutschfestigkeit (DCOF) für unsere Porcea-Stone-Pflaster zu zeigen. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass Outdoor-Porzellan bei Nässe oder Schnee etwas rutschig wird, aber nicht rutschiger als bei einem geflammten Granit oder einem herkömmlichen Betonpflaster. 3. Ist Outdoor-Porzellan schwer zu schneiden? Wie schneidet man Feinsteinzeug für den Außenbereich am besten? Die kurze Antwort – Wasserschnitt mit einer durchgehenden Diamanttrennscheibe. Diese Frage wird uns ständig von Auftragnehmern und Installateuren gestellt. In Wahrheit führen alle Vorteile von Außenpflaster aus Feinsteinzeug wie <0,1 % Wasseraufnahme, Beständigkeit gegen Ausbleichen durch UV-Strahlung und Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Flecken durch Salz/Moos/Chemikalien zu einem Material, das sehr dicht und langlebig ist. Infolgedessen ist Porzellan ein schwer zu schneidendes Material, und 20-mm- oder 30-mm-Porzellanpflaster für den Außenbereich sind noch schwieriger zu schneiden. Mit der richtigen Klinge (fragen Sie einen Porcea-Experten, welche Sie verwenden sollen!), die eine durchgehende Diamantklinge ist, und der Verwendung von Wasser können Sie Pflasterklinker mit Präzision schneiden. 4. Ist es möglich, passende Kappen und Stufen aus Outdoor-Porzellan zu bekommen? Ja, je nach Budget und Zeitplan. Als führendes Unternehmen für Outdoor-Porzellan ist es unsere Verpflichtung Ihnen gegenüber, mit Ihnen an Ihren Projekten zu arbeiten und Ihnen dabei zu helfen, praktische und ästhetische Lösungen für Ihr Projekt zu finden. In den meisten Fällen raten wir Ihnen, Naturstein- oder Betonstufen zu verwenden, da Feinsteinzeug im Außenbereich immer noch eine sehr großflächige Bodenbelagsoption ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund können Porzellankappen und -stufen für den Außenbereich individuell für Sie angefertigt werden, wenn Sie ein nahtloses Aussehen erzielen möchten. 5. Wie verlegt man Feinsteinzeug im Außenbereich am besten? Outdoor-Porzellan ist ein äußerst vielseitiges Produkt, wenn es um die Installation geht. Die vier gängigen Methoden zur Installation von Porzellan im Außenbereich sind Gras, Sockel, Sand/Kies oder Beton und Mörtel. Unser branchenführender Porcea Stone-Blog behandelt jeden einzelnen ausführlicher. Die große Vorsicht bei Outdoor-Porzellan ist, dass die Fugen dicht sein sollten, die Stücke sich jedoch nicht berühren sollten, da dies mit der Zeit zu Bewegungen der Stücke und Abplatzungen an den Kanten führen kann. Wir empfehlen normalerweise einen Abstand von 1/8″ zwischen Porzellanfliesen für den Außenbereich. Werfen Sie einen Blick auf ein aktuelles Projekt mit Porcea Sand-Feinsteinzeug für den Außenbereich, das als Trittsteine auf Gras verlegt wurde. 6. Was ist rektifiziertes vs. nicht rektifiziertes Outdoor-Porzellan? Einfach ausgedrückt, ist nicht rektifiziertes Porzellan Porzellan von geringerer Qualität für den Außenbereich. There are five steps to creating a high quality outdoor porcelain: Raw materials pressed into a tile mold based on desired size Tiles are baked in a kiln at 1200+ degrees Celsius for 60-90 minutes Tiles are cooled on a drying rack allowing them to harden Tiles are rectified which involves perfectly machine cutting all sides Tiles undergo extensive quality control & are packaged for shipment With non-rectified outdoor tiles, step D is skipped as it is an expensive part of the production process. This means the tolerance level on each tile increases significantly as tile edges are not perfectly cut to 90 degrees. Porcea Stone recommends only using fully rectified outdoor porcelain tiles for any project as non-rectified material requires larger installation joints which in turn can cause pieces to move over time. Another common name for non-rectified tiles is pressed outdoor porcelain tiles. 7. Are outdoor porcelain tiles worth the extra cost / money? We’re a little biased when it comes to this question but let’s lay out all the facts. Do you agree that it’s unfair to compare an Italian sports car to an American or Chinese sedan? This same logic applies to outdoor porcelain tiles. Here are the facts: Maintenance – Natural stone and concrete pavers frequently require ongoing maintenance as they absorb more water in comparison to outdoor porcelain, which results in staining from de-icing salts and surrounding leaves or trees. Landscape architects often tell us that outdoor porcelain saves their clients $0.50-$1.00 / SQF every year in ongoing maintenance costs in comparison to natural stone or concrete pavers. Installation – Unlike concrete pavers, outdoor porcelain is available in much larger sized sheets/panels which means each time you put down a tile, you are covering a much larger square footage. Further, Porcea Stone porcelain pavers are fully rectified and consistent, which means there will be no need to re-level the subbase or spend additional time in cutting or sorting through pieces. This means you or your contractor can save time when installing outdoor porcelain, reducing the installation cost in a project. Aesthetics – Our exclusive collection of outdoor porcelain tiles are designed with beauty and practicality in mind. The abundant options means that you can create a unique look for your specific project – whether the goal is to find a stone-look in outdoor porcelain, wood-look in outdoor porcelain tiles, or a concrete-look in outdoor pavers. Finally, and most importantly, Porcea Stone is competitively priced regardless of whether you are comparing our products to outdoor porcelain from China, India, or another European country. We’ll work with you to ensure we can find a suitable option for your specific budget and your specific project. 8. Can I install porcelain on my driveway? Yes, you can install 30mm or 3 cm outdoor porcelain on driveways, with the same method that you use to install concrete pavers today. We suggest a gravel base and the use of a broken brick or herringbone pattern to lay out the pavers. You also need to use spacers in between the joints to ensure the porcelain tiles do not move when vehicules turn their wheels or there are heavy objects on the surface. 9. How to determine if my outdoor porcelain is high quality? First, assess where it is made. Second, identify if it is rectified. Third, determine if it is true 20mm or 30mm. Porcea Stone’s Italian-made tiles are the best, highest quality outdoor porcelain tiles in the market. They are fully rectified to ensure all pieces are cut with perfection and meet our tests for 90 degree right angles. Finally, all our products are real 20mm and 30mm in thickness, unlike many other manufacturers that may cut corners and provide an 18mm or 28mm thickness porcelain which allows them to save money but ends up compromising on the quality of the product. Poor quality outdoor porcelain will result in product breakage after installation, issues with the glaze overheating from the sun, stains from de-icing salts, higher water absorption, and many other challenges which will result in reducing the longevity of your overall project. All of these little nuances are often difficult for an ordinary person to assess so please don’t hesitate to reach out to a Porcea Stone expert if you’d like some guidance on whether the outdoor porcelain pavers you’ve selected meet the highest standards of quality and precision. 10. What is the weight of outdoor porcelain tiles? The answer to this question is a bit nuanced depending on the thickness of the tile and the texture or relief of the tile as well. Porcea Stone’s 20 mm outdoor porcelain weighs between 4 kg to 4.5 kg per SQF, while our 30mm outdoor porcelain pavers weigh between 6 kg to 6.5 kg per SQF.
Can you install tile edge trim after tiling?

20mm Tile Trims
Thinking of tackling a tiling project but having trouble figuring out how to apply the tile edge trim after tiling? Do not worry! It’s a lot easier than you might think.
In this post, I will teach you exactly how to apply your tile edge trim after tiling.
However, in full disclosure, this article assumes that once you’ve already started tiling, you already know how to lay tile yourself and are ready for the edge strip.
With that in mind, here are all the necessary steps:
How to install tile edge trim after tiling
1 – Choose your border strip
2 – Determine where the margin should go
3 – Measure
4 – cut
5 – Mark and glue
6 – seal
Let’s break down each of these steps in more detail.
1 – Choosing your edge trim
Believe it or not, there are a ton of tile edge trim options to choose from. The first step in the installation process is choosing which one you want to use.
Here are just a few:
bullnose
chair rails
Cove base
edge glaze
Flat liners
pencil liner
quarter rounds
v caps
Mercury Mosaics did a really good job describing each of these elements. They even took nice pictures so you can see the differences between each one. Click here to read the post to help you choose which edge trim to use. Then proceed to the next step in the installation process.
2 – Determine where the margin will go
Before you start the actual work, the first thing you need to do is determine where you want to attach your tile skirting board.
While you could theoretically put the paneling anywhere you like, realistically there are only two places you should really do it: the base and the corners of your wall.
Make sure you figure out if you want to attach your edging to one or both of these locations before purchasing an edging.
Plan in your head (or even on paper if you like) exactly where you want to place each trim piece.
Then when you’ve done that, it’s time to take some measurements!
3 – Measure
Measure the entire length of where you intend to place your tile trim. Typically this involves measuring the base and corners of your floor and any walls you have tiled.
Take a tape measure and measure both the thickness of your tile and the length of any spot that needs trimming.
These measurements are crucial in determining how much trim to buy. Remember to measure twice; cut once. The more carefully and accurately you measure your tile, the smoother the installation will go and the happier you will be with the finished product.
After you are sure your measurements are correct, go ahead and purchase the trim you selected in the first step.
4 – cut
Now that you have your trim and measurements, it’s time to trim your trim to fit the area you are tiling. Whether you’re tiling an entire bathroom or just the floor of a room, you’ll need to cut your tile very carefully to get the look you’re hoping for.
Remember, the whole point of trimming the edge of your tile is to keep it looking smooth, clean, and beautiful. The last thing anyone wants is a brand new bathroom renovation looking out because of improperly sharp tile edges.
All in all, grab your miter box and hacksaw and cut your trim to the appropriate measurements you took in the last step. Make sure you use 45 degree angles on all bases and wall edges.
If you’re a little nervous about cutting your trim, here’s a great video that may help you visualize how to do it.
5 – Mark and glue
phew! The hardest part is over! Now you can mark where exactly you want to stick your tile border.
Mark the surfaces where you want to attach the molding. Some like to use chalk for marking. It serves as a guide to where you should apply your tile adhesive. (For what it’s worth, some pros just take it in the eye and proceed straight to gluing the skirting board. The choice is yours.)
Apply a small amount of tile adhesive to the marked area and press your tile skirting firmly onto the desired area. Hold for a few seconds and repeat the process until all of the trim is secure. Wipe off excess glue to ensure the cleanest possible finish.
Wait at least a day for everything to dry before proceeding to the last step.
6 – seal
Finally, grout any areas between your tiles and the tile cladding to seal everything.
You can either take a caulking gun or a squeezable tube of grout and gently apply nice grout lines until all the gaps are filled. If you’ve worked with joint compound before, but not joint compound, it works essentially the same way.
Feel free to grab your finger and use it to smooth out the grout as you go.
Completion: Tile edge cut after tiling
There you have it folks. An in-depth look at installing tile edge trim after tiling.
Remember to take it slow and get your measurements spot on. Depending on how new you are to the DIY world, I wouldn’t make this your first project unless your trim has already been cut for you.
That said, if you’ve already done some tile work, there’s no reason at all (at least in my opinion) to hire a professional to do the job. You can easily do this project yourself – no matter how ornate your molding is.
Go out and make things happen! You can do it! Can’t wait to see what your tile trim will look like!
Bob’s “shopping list” for this project
How do you tile an outside corner without a bullnose?
Some tile types don’t offer a bullnose because a bullnose is not necessary. Glass tiles, tumbled stone varieties, and porcelain tiles have naturally finished edge. They do not need a separate edge piece to create a polished look. Simply install up to the edge and caulk.
20mm Tile Trims
If you’ve found the perfect tile only to find bullnose pieces aren’t available for finishing, don’t worry. Although the gently rounded edge of a bullnose is the standard solution, there are alternative methods you can use to create a tile transition or finished edge.
Integrate chair rails or pencil rails
If a bullnose isn’t available, look for decorative chair rails and pencil rails in the same material and color as your tile choice. Natural stone tiles often feature a number of decorative trims. If none is available, consider a bar in an accent or complementary color, such as black. B. a blue border with white field tiles or a glass border with ceramic tiles.
Use caulked edge (no transition)
Some tile types do not offer a bullnose as a bullnose is not required. Glass tiles, tumbled stones and porcelain tiles have naturally finished edges. You don’t need a separate edge piece to achieve a polished look. Simply install to the brim and caulk. To ensure a smooth, watertight transition, apply a piece of masking tape one grout from the edge of the last tile. Then fill the gap between the tiles and the tape with a smooth bead of caulk.
Make your own bullnose
If you are tiling with natural marble, travertine, slate or porcelain tile and bullnose edging is not available, you can make your own. Because these tiles are made of the same material throughout, you can grind and shape the edge of each tile to create a bullnose using a wet saw fitted with a bullnose blade. These materials can be conveniently cut to any size if required, making for an elegant finishing edge. To make your own bullnose edge, use the blade to sand down the edge of the tile and create a curve. Follow with an angle grinder, then a buffing pad and buff the edge to a suitable finish.
Don’t settle for the limited tile choices at your local hardware store. PetraSlate offers a wide variety of tiling and finishing options to make project completion a breeze.

What is a Schluter edge?
Schluter ®-RONDEC is a finishing and edge-protection profile for tiled edges and outside corners of tiled surfaces. The reveal of the profile forms a symmetrically rounded corner along the surface edge.
20mm Tile Trims
Schluter®-RONDEC is a finishing and edge protection profile for the outer corners of tiled surfaces. It features a trapezoidal perforated anchor leg that secures in the grout bond course beneath the tile and a soffit that forms a symmetrically rounded 1/4″ (6mm) radius outside corner along the surface edge.
The profile is available in stainless steel, solid brass, chromed solid brass, anodized aluminum, color coated aluminum, textured color coated aluminum and PVC. RONDEC’s wide range of materials, colors and finishes allows for color matching with tiles and grout and creating interesting accents in decorative designs. In addition to its decorative effect, the profile protects tile edges from damage caused by mechanical stress.
RONDEC in stainless steel is particularly wear-resistant as edge protection. It can also be used as a stair nosing or transition profile.
In addition, RONDEC is suitable for transitions, corners or other coverings with other covering materials; B. carpet, parquet, natural stone tiles or cold resin coatings. The integrated joint spacer forms a defined joint space with the tile.
Note: RONDEC made of stainless steel and solid brass do not have an integrated joint spacer. Matching inside and outside corners including sink corners and connectors are available. Matching end caps are available for RONDEC in stainless steel.
How do you round the edges of tile?
Use a bullnose blade on a wet-saw to achieve an evenly rounded profile on the edges. Cut the tiles to size first, then mark the edges to be rounded on the back of each tile with chalk or with a spot of tape on the front. Practice your bullnose technique on tile scraps until you get the hang of it.
20mm Tile Trims
For your new kitchen or bathroom, or any granite tile remodeling project, consider making the installation a DIY job, especially if you have experience installing other types of tile. Granite tiles come with square cut unfinished edges and you will need to round the edges for a smooth finish along wall corners or countertop edges. Use a bullnose blade on a wet saw to create an evenly rounded profile on the edges. First cut the tiles, then mark the edges to be rounded on the back of each tile with chalk or with a dot of glue on the front. Practice your bullnose technique on leftover tile until you get the hang of it. It’s not a particularly difficult job, but it’s slow and repetitive. It’s also messy and should be done outdoors.
What is a bullnose tile edge?
Bullnose tile is recognizable because of its characteristic rounded edges. It’s viewed as an edge treatment or trim piece, and is often used to cover corners or frame the perimeter of a tile design. This eliminates sharper angles and unfinished tile sides from being visible on your floor or wall.
20mm Tile Trims
Bullnose Tile Applications
Bullnose tiles have a wide variety of uses. Here are a few examples:
Walls: Tiling a backsplash or accent wall will reveal unfinished edges that don’t match the wall. Placing a row of bullnose tiles around the perimeter of your design gives a more finished look. To determine what types of bullnose tiles are available, look at the trim pieces that go with the tile you have selected.
Floors: A row of bullnose tiles can replace a wooden baseboard and add a finished look to any bathroom floor. This added moisture barrier also helps protect the lower part of your walls.
Corners: Bullnose tiles can also be used to smooth out sharp edges on tub surrounds or countertops. The extreme edges of shampoo niches can also be finished with bullnose instead of standard tiles. And for bathrooms that have a tiled privacy screen, bullnose tiles can be used to soften sharp edges. Not only will this streamline the overall design, but it will also help protect anyone who brushes against the wall.
Moldings: Bullnose tiles can also be used as moldings or on a semi-tiled accent wall.

Porcelain is quickly becoming one of the most popular materials for patios and terraces; Whether that’s due to its hard wearing and long lasting qualities or the range of stylish colors and styles we’re not sure – most likely a combination of the two. When using a porcelain stoneware tile on indoor floors, edge trimming is not usually a problem – the walls form an edge and grouting hides the sides of the tiles. Outdoor tiling often creates an “unfinished” edge when the patio is raised or when the tiles are used on steps or pool edges.
When using natural stone or concrete paving, the unfinished edge doesn’t look out of place, but the smooth surface and honed edges of porcelain paving give them a sharp look. There are several ways to make these sides more attractive, so we’ve put together some tips for choosing the right ones for your patio.
splinters or stones
If you have a small gap around the edges of your patio and need a quick and inexpensive fix, stones or grit are a good option. Available in both natural and bright colors (glow in the dark too!), decorative stones are perfect for creating a simple border that won’t break the bank. Be careful though as the stones are easily kicked or bumped onto your pavement and may need to be swept back into place every now and then.
Pros: Inexpensive, natural look.
Cons: Don’t stay in place, can look messy.
profiling
Profiling is our favorite finish, but it can get expensive. The tiles are sent to a specialist to be cut or sanded to achieve the desired finish – for example a bullnose or half bullnose edge. The tiles are taken from the same batch as the rest of your order so there will be no difference in color or calibration within the finished patio – this can take up to 6 weeks so be prepared to wait. They can also have non-slip grooves for steps or recesses for lighting or railings – contact us for a quote.
Pros: Sleek and modern finish, uniform look.
Cons: Expensive, long delivery times.
External tile cladding in stainless steel
Stainless steel tile trims provide an attractive finish and are available immediately. It can be used on step edges and pool surrounds to give a modern look without the need for profiling. Some maintenance is required to keep the moldings looking their best, but they provide a strong and secure edge. Check out our range of stainless steel outside edges today.
Pros: Inexpensive, modern finish.
Cons: Needs some maintenance.
Plant
Creating a planted border gives a natural look and allows you to be creative. The plants require regular maintenance but are affordable and do not require any special installation. Choose spikeless plants when they are near paths or seating areas, and avoid flowers or fruit that may fall onto your patio and potentially soil it.
Pros: Inexpensive, attractive and natural looking.
Cons: Requires regular maintenance.

Porcelain Patio Edging with PorcelQuick Outdoor Tile Trim
Porcelain stoneware is an obvious choice when it comes to terraces; It is extremely durable, will not discolor or fade and is available in almost endless designs to suit any style of home. But what about the edges? Well, we have a great solution for you in the form of PorcelQuick special outdoor tile skirting boards.
Why do you need to edge your porcelain plaster?
Porcelain tiles are usually rectified, which basically means the edges are ground down to give a perfectly straight and even edge. This helps keep the tiles the same size, which in turn creates even grout lines. Although rectified tiles are a good thing when it comes to grouting, they leave a pretty harsh and sharp edge on the sides of your patio. This may not be a problem if you have lawn or plants on the tiles, but with exposed edges – like on steps, raised beds, or pool surrounds – the exposed edges can be dangerous.
Not only are the edges sharp, but due to the way the patterns are printed on the top of the tiles, the body is often a slightly different shade. If you have an exposed tile edge, it will be more visible.
Porcelain stoneware edging options for outdoor use
When it comes to the edges of your porcelain stoneware tiles, you have three main options:
Leave the edges free
Have the edges profiled
Use stainless steel tile trim
As we’ve said before, in some situations it’s okay to leave the edges exposed, but many don’t like the idea of leaving those sharp edges exposed. Profiling gives an attractive finish as the tiles are cut or sanded to create a rounded edge, but it is expensive and requires some planning as lead times can be quite long. Some porcelain stoneware tiles are unsuitable for profiling due to different base colors or if the glaze flakes off during the process. Another alternative is to use crown molding, similar to what you would do with indoor tiling, and that’s what we’re going to focus on today.
What is PorcelQuick Outdoor Tile Strip?
PorcelQuick is a specialist in outdoor tiles. In addition to these decorative strips, they also have a cement base system that can be used to lay porcelain stoneware. Realizing that there was no easy way to create safe and attractive edges on 20mm thick porcelain, they developed a collection of moldings specifically designed for this purpose. The decorative strips offer the following advantages:
Simple on-site edge solution for 2 cm thick fine stoneware tiles
The final finish that is achieved is easy to see
Protects the edges of the tiles from damage
Pre-curved outer corners and malleable straight edges for curves
Hides color differences between the top and bottom of the tiles
Manufactured from marine grade 316L stainless steel
Because the trim strips are made of 316L stainless steel, they are strong, durable and long-lasting and will not corrode like other metals such as aluminum. Their tensile strength means they are also unlikely to suffer dents and nicks, leaving your patio safe to walk on and free from aesthetic damage.
PorcelQuick exterior cladding available from Tile Fix Direct

20mm Tile Trims
The great outdoors can be an inhospitable place when you want your outdoor tiles to look their best. Exterior tile profiles are molded corners that protect the edges of your exterior tiles from damage. These stainless steel tile strips can be used with tiles and paving up to 20mm thick and offer a solution that is not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing! They’re a tasteful and affordable alternative to bullnosing.
Outdoor tile beading improves the overall structural integrity of a tiled area by absorbing pressure surges and preventing chipping, scratching and marking the tile edge. Stainless steel has a smooth and non-porous surface that makes it particularly difficult for bacteria, fungi and microorganisms such as viruses to adhere and survive. The high level of hygiene associated with the substrate is the reason why stainless steel outdoor tile strips are often used in swimming pool areas.
All our metal tile cladding is available in 2.5 meter lengths unless otherwise stated. Choose from straight, round or double pencil profiles depending on your work needs. We supply all the elements required for your project, the mouldings, corner pieces and end caps. Our straight edge tile skirtings are also available in a variety of powder coated colors for a stylish finish.
