Hi all,

I'm trying to find a Tile Clip for my bathroom, but have trouble finding anything like this in the UK...
I found it on a catalgo for the german version of B&Q...
You can have a look here, Page 606 on the bottom half:

If anybody know where to get this it would be great :)

Thanks

Assuming that you want an access panel that is tiled I have made one out of aquapanel screwed to plywood. I built a housing for the flap and used velcro as a fastener. The weight is held by the lower edge so the velcro is only holding it flush which is quite sufficient.

I have seen a purpose made panel in past posts on here but I could not find it.

In Germany it is very normal to have them, they usual have a thin metal backing for the tiles and are hold in place by magnets. They usually have a "nice" white frame that will later look like tile grout on first look.

I thought maybe i just search for the wrong term as Tile frame was the best translation i could think off.

If i build one myself on a board backing it will get a lot thicker than just with 2-3mm of the tile frame.

My problem is that it should be in a corner on a wall and not on a bath panel...
