The transformative power of finishing pieces

Have you ever wondered why some tiled spaces look flawlessly polished, while others seem somehow incomplete? As artisans who have spent decades perfecting our craft, we can tell you that good design is all in the detail. The secret often lies in a small but crucial element that many overlook: tile finishing pieces.

Our ceramic tile trim and edging pieces will add polish to your space and create a seamless finish. Each one can be glazed in the colour and finish of your choice to match tiles from across our collections, ensuring a beautifully cohesive result.

Whether you're considering our Emma collection for your kitchen backsplash or dreaming of a walk-in shower tiled in deep blue Dusk tiles from our Kensington collection, tile trim will take your project from perfectly lovely to exceptional. Ready to elevate your space? Let's explore how ceramic edging pieces can help you achieve that coveted professional finish in your own home.

What is tile trim, and why should I consider it for my project?

Think of tile trim as the architectural detailing in a well-designed building. Just as crown moulding and skirting boards define spaces and add sophistication to a room, ceramic tile edging trim provides structure and refinement to your tiled surfaces. Our finishing pieces work hard at the borders of your tiled areas – where tile meets wall, around corners, or between different tiled sections.

Tile trim will:

  • create clean lines and intentional design
  • smooth transitions between different surfaces
  • hide unsightly edges for a flawless finish from every angle

Perhaps you're wondering about those plastic or metal tile trim strips you've seen. Yes, they are an option. But for a high-end look, ceramic is the way to go, blending seamlessly with your tiles in a way that other materials simply can't match.

Ceramic tile edging: our finishing pieces

We offer a diverse range of ceramic edging tile options to suit any style or practical need. From subtle transitions to striking design features, each of our finishing pieces can each be glazed to match any wall tile from our collections, and is available in matt, crackle glaze, gloss, and aged crackle finishes.

Quarter-round edging piece

Also known as quadrant moulding or quadrant tile trim, this piece is the perfect solution to visible tile edges and corners. Choose this piece where the edge is visible and meets a wall - around a cooker panel, sink backsplash, shower niche or at the edge of a tiled step.

Half-round border tile

Great for creating subtle - or striking - borders where two different areas of tile meet. Also known as a pencil tile or ceramic edging tiles, these pieces can be staggered against your other tiles or cut to match your tile width if preferred.


Bolection Border tile

Also known as a dado tile, this decorative piece is ideal for use along the top edge of your wall tiles, or where two different areas of tile meet, to add visual interest. The piece can be used whole and staggered against your other tiles, or cut to match your tile width, if preferred.

Frame Border pieces

Our tile frame border, corner and smaller frame taco pieces feature a raised relief corner and bring a touch of English heritage style, ideal for framing hand-painted tiles behind range cookers or bathroom sinks.

The bottom line

While finishing pieces might be small, they have a significant impact on the overall impression of a space. Ready to explore the possibilities? Browse our collection here.
