Protects edges. Adds depth. Eliminates the need for architraves.
This decorative aluminium tile edging profile is purpose-built for external corners, tile transitions, and window or door surrounds, offering both edge protection and a clean architectural finish. The profile forms a square recessed shadow gap between tiles and adjoining surfaces, creating sharp, modern detailing without the bulk of traditional architraves.
Designed to enhance tiled frames around windows or doors, it also provides a crisp transition on tiled corners or wall edges. One side sits flush with your tile, creating a visible groove, while the other secures firmly into tile adhesive with a punched anchoring leg.
Available in bright silver aluminium and two depth options, this profile delivers design flexibility for a wide range of tile thicknesses and layout styles.
