Recommended Trim Sizes for 8mm Tiles
Knowing the thickness of your tiles is a critical factor when selecting the appropriate tile trim size. You may be thinking, for example, what size tile trim do I need for 8mm tiles? As previously mentioned, for 8mm tiles, it's essential to choose a trim that accommodates this thickness precisely, whilst also considering the location where your tiles will be laid. The thickness of your tile trim may differ depending on the laying of the wall or floor tiles, as well as how thick your adhesive is applied.
The most common sizes for tile trim range from 8mm tile trim to 12mm tile trim, however Premium Tile Trim stocks tile trim sizes from 4mm tile trim to 30mm tile trim.
As a general rule, for wall installations, we would recommend selecting tile trim approximately 1mm-1.5mm bigger than your tile thickness, and for floor installations approximately 1.5mm-2mm to allow for deviation and tile adhesive.
Therefore, for wall installations with 8mm tiles, a tile trim of approximately 9mm to 9.5mm is advisable. This size allows for the tile thickness and a standard adhesive layer, ensuring a seamless and secure edge. For floor installations, where adhesive layers might be slightly thicker, opting for a 10mm tile trim can provide the necessary coverage and protection.
We have a collection of guides to help you choose the right tile trim for your project, whether your’re considering colour, size, material, profile, trim type, or areas of your home or commercial building. Read more:
