Aluminium Profiles

Aluminium Tile Edge Trim

L-profiles, quarter-rounds and square edges for clean tile edges.

Tile edge trim protects the vulnerable exposed edge of tile work — preventing chips, sealing the gap between tile and wall, and giving a clean architectural line. Ryan's stocks aluminium L-profiles, quarter-rounds, square edges and bullnose profiles in five anodised finishes, sized to match 8mm, 10mm and 12mm tile thicknesses. Our trim range adds round and square edges, an L end trim, a triangle corner, U-channel inlays and an F panel profile in 3 m lengths and up to eight colours.

Quarter-round (radius edge)

Soft curved profile for child-friendly edges and traditional looks.

Square edge

Modern angular profile — most popular for contemporary minimalist projects.

Bullnose (large radius)

Wide curved edge for pool surrounds, steps and curved details.

Frequently asked questions

Which profile shape should I choose?

L-profile is the safest default and works with any tile. Square edge is best for modern minimalist looks. Quarter-round is recommended for family homes with young children. Bullnose is for curved features or pool edges.

How do I size the profile to my tile?

Match the profile height (8mm, 10mm or 12mm) to your tile thickness — measure your tile thickness with calipers. The profile sits flush with the tile surface; an oversized profile will leave a raised lip that catches feet and fingers.

Is trim installed before or after tiling?

Trim is installed during tiling — the bottom flange sits under the tile, embedded in the tile adhesive. Retrofit is possible with surface-mount profiles but the line is less clean.

What about corners — can profiles meet at 90°?

Yes — profiles can be mitre-cut at 45° for inside or outside corners. For complex layouts we stock matching corner pieces in silver and black that snap into place.
