Quarter round tiles are employed to trim the edges of tile at tub, sinks and shower surrounds, and where doorways are terminated at by tile floors. The tiles include outside corners and unique inside that remove the need for miter cuts. Quarter round trim is available in 6 inch and 8 inch lengths, as well as in a variety of colors to match your style choices. Similar to setting the industry tiles, installing quarter round tiles need a lay-out that is precise. Rather of having one or more items that will detract from your look this guarantees a uniform appearance.
Sink and Encompass Corners
Apply a generous quantity of tile mastic in the rear of an outside or an internal corner trim piece using a putty knife. Set the piece in place and firmly in the corner from the outer fringe of of the area tile.
Remove any mastic in the seam involving tile and the corner piece together with the suggestion of a flat-blade screw-driver.
Install a tile spacer involving the square edges of the corner piece as well as the adjacent tile. For sink trim, install extra spacers between the edge of the sink as well as the edges of the corner.
Repeat these actions and set the within or outside corner parts.
Quarter Round Lay-Out
When trimming a tile flooring measure the the length between the corner items at one edge of a sink, tub/shower surround or between the door jambs. Divide this measurement by 6 to decide the amount of 6 inch quarter-round parts required. Divide it by 8 for 8 inch quarter-round. Note this measurement.
Deduct the thickness of a tile spacer in the measurement to look for the length of every quarter round on the edge that is chosen, or in a doorway.
Mark each quarter-round using a felt tip marker to size. Cut the parts saw. Stage the parts close to the edge that is picked, or arrange them to prevent con Fusion with all the quarter round to get a shorter or lengthier edge.
Repeat these measures and slice the the remaining quarter-round parts for the edges in a tub or a sink / shower. Stage or arrange the items appropriately.
Installation
Apply a generous quantity of tile mastic in the rear of the firstquarter round thatâs specified to get a certain edge. Hold a tile spacer in the corner piece with one-hand. Set in place from the outer fringe of of the area tile and the piece firmly, and contrary to the spacer in the corner piece.

Tile spacers involving the edges of the area tile that is adjacent as well as the quarterround. For sink trim, install extra spacers between the edge of the sink and also the edges of the quarterround.
Apply mastic to the following piece and established it in location. Remove any mastic and install the tile spacers. Repeat this task and install the items that are remaining. Allow the mastic to treatment before grouting the tile and eliminating the spacers.
