What is Tile Edging?
Tile edging refers to the trims or finishing strips applied at the edge of a tiled surface. These trims serve both decorative and functional purposes — hiding raw tile edges, protecting them from damage, and creating seamless transitions between tiled and non-tiled areas.
- Prevent chips and cracks at tile edges
- Improve waterproofing at exposed edges
- Provide a decorative finish in various colours and shapes
Common Tile Edging Applications
- Wall edge finishes in kitchens and bathrooms
- Floor tile transitions to carpet or vinyl
- Step nosings and stairs
- Shower niches, window reveals, and splashbacks
- External and internal corners
Types of Tile Edging Available
Straight Edge Edging
Provides a minimalist look with a straight-line profile — ideal for modern bathrooms and kitchens.

Sharp, defined edges for a contemporary finish. Available in many metal finishes.
