Application
 

Aluminium Sparkle Edge Tile Trim, or Box Edge Tile Trim as it is sometimes referred to, is the most versatile of the tile trims. It is used on walls and floors in low use areas such as shower rooms.

When used on the floor, they can be used to great effect to separate areas of tiling, or to make featured shapes within tiled areas. Aluminium Sparkle Edge tile trim can also be used as a listello strip to create a feature in a wall, dividing two separate tile choices, or as a finishing strip to provide a neat finish to a run of tiles that do not go floor to ceiling.

Use

1. Choose shape and profile according to tile thickness.

2. Apply thin set mortar according to manufacturer’s directions to the area where profile is to be placed, using the appropriate size U notch trowel.

2a. For edging and outside wall corners using L-Shape or R-Round Bullnose, finish tiling one wall first, then trowel thin set mortar over corner areas of second wall.

2b. For the U-Shape Reducer, fill the hollow space beneath the sloped section of profile with thin set mortar before setting the trim.

3. Press the perforated anchoring leg of the profile into the mortar until mortar fills the circle cutouts. Then align trim with tile edge making sure the tile is flush against lower edge of trim face to ensure a uniform grout joint space between trim and tile.

4. Trowel additional thin set mortar evenly over the perforated anchoring leg completely covering the circle cutouts to ensure full coverage and support of the tile edges. The anchor leg should be partially buried in the sealant.

5. Ensure the tile is flush with top of profile or slightly lower. The profile should not be higher than the tiled surface, but rather up to approx. 1/32” (1 mm) lower.

6. After the tiles and profile have set, fill the grout joint completely with grout.

7. Gently wipe off any excess grout or thin set mortar immediately.
