White metal tile trims

2 replies

PickANameAnyName1 · 28/07/2017 08:00

Anyone used these? Getting my bathroom done soon. I said I didn't like the silver tile trims around the window that I keep seeing in photos. I would rather white. The guy said white pvc ones eventually discolour. So ive been having a look for alternatives online. You can get metal ones which are powder coated to make them white.
Anyone used them? Any thoughts? Thanks.

I've never used powder coated trims but I am familiar with powder coating and I would be concerned. Yeovil have to cut the trim to length on site. When you cut the trim you cut through the powder coated and allow an access point for moisture to enter. In my experience powder coated always flakes off in such conditions. I also hate aluminium and plastic trims. I use stainless steel at home, you can get brushed finishes that are less shinny or full polished finishes. They are very difficult to get and I have to order them on line, asking for stainless steel in tops and tiles giant was hopeless the assistants both said yes and tried to sell me "stainless steel effect" aluminium trim! One was even insistent that the aluminium trim floppies g in his hand was stainless steel... I felt embarrassed explaining the difference to him really smilled made excuses and left quickly!

We used stainless steel too, matched it to the handles on the cupboards and it looks good.
