Edging options for thick wall tiling?

Hi, I've been tiling parts of my bathroom walls with some fairly thick (8mm) marble-effect tiles. What are some options for finsihing the edges of the work? Bullnose edging tilesare not afailable with these tiles. What wlaw can I do? Can a good-looking edge be made with something out of a tube such as decorator's filler?

Thanks,

Al

Various trims available, but they are normally slipped behind the tiles while the adhesive is still wet. Try a search for "tile trim retro fit". For that thickness I don't think you can make a neat job with anything out of a tube

You can make quite a good edge with grout or 'one-coat' plaster. Simply apply generously with a broad paint scraper and then finish with a finishing tool. You might have to make your own finishing tool to get a

10mm finish. You can buy the famous 'Fugenboy' finisher or make your own from a piece of plastic or metal if there isn't a suitable profile in the Fugenboy kit.

can also buy a much cheaper version (Powerfix - £3-00 approx.) at Lidl if you think the Screwfix version (£10.21p) is grossly over priced.

If you are using a diamond cutting machine you could possibly cut some strips from different tiles of a contrasting colour to make a nice border. You could even put handy glass shelves under them. Without seeing, it is difficult to imagine what might look good. Use your imagination and just steer clear of things that might mould or rust.

Thanks. Yes, I bought some of that, when I bought the tiles. - but I forgot to insert it before the adhesive went hard! I'll have to reasort to one of the other suggestions kindly offered.
