Tiled skirting

[Crooksey]

My porch is going up soon and for a more "robust" finish im thinking of having a tiled skirting. Now im wondering if its best to get the purpose formed tiled skirting, or just cut down floor tiles to fashion them into a form of skirting.

Or if anyone has some pictures/examples of work they have done like this that would be great!

Johnson tiles specifically manufacture ones that have a finished edge to them. Not used them for a skirting detail but they are top quality finish to edges. When doing walls with them, there is no need for corner trims.

Apart from that, cut tiles down with a quality blade.

Specials would look better, if they do them to match the floor ones you are using.

Yea I think they would look better to.

Just dont think wooden painted skirtings will stay clean for long in an area such as a porch and having tiles instead should combat this problem!

I think the tiled skirtings look good.

The trend now seems to be to tile the floor but I think a skirting looks a lot better

Bit like rad pipes in the wall. I prefer a nice chrome rad tails

Crooksey I found browsing tiling shops useful, gives you ideas. Everything on a website looks good,tiles are shown in best possible light

Oh yea I definatley will buy them from a shop, like my bathroom/kitchen tiles. Sadly the only shop open late is Topps and the teenagers in there seem to know f*ck all, which doesnt really matter, I just find they dont give a sh*t, which is really annoying when your spending over a grand, for my bath/kitchen anyway. Just have to spare some of my saturday and take a look!

I found browsing Topps tiles good (I didn't buy the tiles from there) for ideas of borders are trims

I used a 6mm brushed steel trims and it looks well actually. Saw that idea in Topps and bough the trim there and tiles from Wickes

Try CTD or Tile Giant, and for the love of God don't pay Topps shelf price for addy
