There are many types of trim tiles, some with confusing names, so it is important to understand what each trim tile and liner is so that you may easily distinguish which type of trim tiles are needed for your installation. A visual guide of various trim pieces can be very helpful in understanding how trim and liners are used. When selecting tiles for your project, be sure to check for the availability of trim tiles to match your field tiles and select a trim style that is best suited for your area to be tiled.
