Norbreck Expert/Design Tip

"The Seamless Window Finish" — When tiling window reveals with white ceramic tiles, using a matching White PVC trim like the FTE472 is often superior to metal. Because the white pigment is consistent throughout the plastic, any mitre cuts at the corners remain virtually invisible. Expert Tip: For a perfectly flat finish, ensure you apply enough adhesive to the wall first, then press the perforated leg of the trim into the bed before applying the tiles. This "locks" the trim in place and prevents any unsightly "lippage" at the edge.
