Tile Rite

The architectural, budget-friendly finish for modern tiles. The Tile Rite FTE893 L-Shape PVC trim is the perfect solution for finishing external wall corners and exposed tile edges. Finished in a sophisticated Slate Grey, this trim is designed to blend seamlessly with anthracite, concrete-effect, or dark stone tiles, providing a crisp, straight-edge look that mirrors expensive metal profiles at a fraction of the cost.

Manufactured in the UK from high-quality, lead-free PVC, this 10mm trim is stabilized with calcium-zinc for enhanced durability and environmental safety. It is resistant to household chemicals, oils, and moisture, making it a reliable choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms where unglazed tile edges are prone to impact and chipping.

Key Features:

• Slate Grey Finish: A deep, modern grey that complements industrial and contemporary tile palettes.

• Effective Edge Protection: Shields unglazed tile edges from chips and structural damage in high-traffic areas.

• Lead-Free PVC: Calcium-zinc stabilized formulation for a safer, more sustainable installation.

• Corrosion & Chemical Resistant: Naturally immune to rust and resistant to common household cleaning agents.

• Easy to Install: Lightweight and simple to cut to size, with a perforated anchoring leg for a secure bond in the adhesive.

Technical Specifications:

• Material: Extrusion Grade PVC (Lead-Free)

• Profile: L-Shape (Straight Edge)

• Depth: 10.6mm

• Length: 2.44m

• Colour: Slate Grey

• Compatibility: Ideal for tiles between 8mm and 9mm thick (allowing for adhesive bed).

Norbreck Expert/Design Tip

"The Shadow Line Effect" — Slate Grey is one of the most versatile trim colours because it creates a subtle "shadow line" that defines the edge of the tiling without the harsh contrast of bright silver or white. Expert Tip: If you are using grey grout, this trim will almost completely disappear into the design, creating a very high-end, monolithic look. When cutting, use a fine-toothed mitre box or PVC trim cutters to ensure the grey finish stays clean and free of burrs.

Clean lines and reliable protection for slim-profile tiling. The Tile Rite FTE472 is an essential L-shape PVC trim designed to provide a neat, professional finish to external wall corners and tiled edges. At an 8mm depth, it is the perfect solution for finishing standard ceramic wall tiles, window reveals, and splashbacks where a discreet, straight-edge aesthetic is desired.

Manufactured in the UK from high-grade, lead-free PVC, this trim is calcium-zinc stabilized to ensure maximum durability and resistance to UV yellowing. Its moisture-resistant properties make it an ideal choice for bathrooms and kitchens, providing a hygienic and easy-to-clean transition between tiled surfaces and adjacent walls.

Key Features:

• Slim Straight-Edge Profile: Delivers a minimalist, modern finish that sits flush with thinner tile ranges.

• Impact Protection: Guards unglazed tile edges against chips and cracks in busy household areas.

• Durable Lead-Free PVC: Calcium-zinc stabilized for enhanced strength and long-term colour stability.

• Moisture & Chemical Resistant: Built to withstand the humid conditions and cleaning routines of kitchens and bathrooms.

• Effortless Installation: Lightweight and easy to cut to size using a hacksaw or PVC mitre shears.

Technical Specifications:

• Material: Extrusion Grade PVC (Calcium-Zinc Stabilized)

• Profile: L-Shape (Straight Edge)

• Depth: 8.7mm

• Length: 2.44m

• Colour: White

• Compatibility: Ideal for tiles up to 7mm thick (allowing for a 1-2mm adhesive bed).

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.

Norbreck Expert/Design Tip

"The Level Master" — Transitioning from a thick porcelain tile to a thinner LVT or carpet can often leave a trip hazard. The DSB249 is our "problem solver" for this exact scenario. Because the top plate 'clips' down into the base, you can angle it slightly to accommodate height differences. Expert Tip: For a secure fit, ensure you fix the base plate to the subfloor before the floor coverings are laid. Once the flooring is in place, simply snap the black nickel top into the base for a clean, screw-less appearance.

Norbreck Expert/Design Tip

"The Seamless Transition" — When using the TLS116 for floor transitions, ensure the "L" is tucked tightly against the adjacent flooring. The 12mm depth is particularly useful for modern large-format porcelain tiles which often require a slightly thicker adhesive bed. Expert Tip: To keep the bright silver finish looking its best, avoid using highly acidic cleaners during the grouting process, as these can dull the anodised seal. A simple damp cloth is all you need to keep it sparkling.

Norbreck Expert/Design Tip

"The Architectural Frame" — Matt Black trims are the perfect way to "frame" a feature splashback or a niche. If you are using white subway tiles with black grout, this trim provides the perfect finishing touch to tie the whole monochrome look together. Expert Tip: To maintain the smooth matte finish, ensure you wipe away any excess grout immediately after application. Use a soft sponge to avoid scratching the powder coating during the cleaning process.

"The Feature Break" — Use the Bright Silver Listello to create a stunning "datum line" around your bathroom. If you are using a darker tile on the bottom half of the wall and a lighter one on top, this 20mm strip acts as the perfect transition piece. Expert Tip: To ensure a perfectly flat finish, apply a small bead of adhesive to the back of the listello before bedding it into the wall alongside your tiles. This prevents the trim from "sinking" and ensures the 20mm face stays perfectly flush with the tile surface.
