Aluminum tile trim depth determining

It is based on your tile or laminate thickness!

When choosing aluminum tile trim, you will be faced with the choice of deciding what depth tile trim to use.

Most aluminum tile trims will come in a variety of depths, usually starting out at around 6mm,7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm up to 22mm and beyond, but which depth do you choose? 

Basically, the rule of thumb is to measure the thickness of your wall or floor covering first.

If it’s a tile, then measure the thickness of the tile, and then allow for 1-2mm for the tile adhesive. This should then give you the depth of tile trim you require.

If you are using laminate and adhesive, the rule is the same, although if you are laying laminate without adhesive, you can match your trim up to the same depth as the board. 

Remember, you can often get away with running out the tile adhesive near to the edge of the tile where the trim sits to make a smaller trim fit if necessary, so if you have a 10mm tile and you can only fit in a 10mm trim then this is possible, but remember that this is not ideal, and will result in a weaker tile trim fixture. 

So how to determine aluminum tile trim depth you need? It is up to your tile thickness or laminate thickness.
