Tiling Help! Kitchen Chimney Breast

littlerose12345

Hi there

Hoping someone can help.. we've cut into out chimney breast in the kitchen to house our oven and hob. About to commence tiling the splashback.. all around will be worktop to wall unit height, except when it comes round to the inset chimney area, we would like to tile all inside.

My question is in regards to tile trim.. how will the exterior corners work to place tile trim in this way?

Please would you be good enough to translate this. I'm obviously being dim tonight and although I think I know what you mean, clarification would be nice.

Oh and a better looking solution is to mitre the tiles than use any form of trim.

It's the old 3 mitre trick.

Ok here's a pic, sorry for the late night poor English!! (Can't promise my early morning English will be any better though....



As you can see, the silver trim shown will need to continue up as the whole of this wall inside the alcove will be tiled.

On the other wall, the trim will lay horizontally and will be at the height of the tiles to match the rest of the splashback.

My problem is, how should the long piece of trim meet the horizontal piece?

Thanks Keystone, but thats not quite what I'm after. The vertical piece coming from the bottom needs to travel all the way up to the top of the chimney cut out. So in my picture, the trim shown is too short and needs to extend further up.

My problem is the piece that sits horizontally and needs to meet the vertical strip somehow?

use bullnose tiles?
