White metal tile trims?

Anyone used these? Getting my bathroom done soon. I said I didn't like the silver tile trims around the window that I keep seeing in photos. I would rather white. The guy said white pvc ones eventually discolour. So ive been having a look for alternatives online. You can get metal ones which are powder coated to make them white.!
Anyone used them? Any thoughts? Thanks.

  • The white plastic tile trim I put on my kitchen windowsill is still as white as the tiles after 28 years.

    This.

    He's (tiler/fitter) telling you an 'alternative fact' :)

    Plastic trims will be perfectly acceptable.

    Anyone know if you can get ceramic ones? Like a rounded corner bit for around the window? Then it would just be tile the whole way round?

    Yeah, I saw them when I was searching but as far as I can see, the choice is still white pvc or metal coloured metal...?

    We have the white plastic trims, they haven't changed colour but they have always been very slightly different to the pure white tiles.
