Product Information

Full details

The Tile Rite TSF269 Box Listello Trim is designed for tilers and designers seeking a modern, architectural accent to enhance tile installations. Its key benefit is providing a slim, polished Bright Silver decorative border that adds a touch of luxury, perfect for breaking up large tile areas, framing niches, or creating subtle vertical lines. A caveat to consider is its 7mm depth, which requires careful matching with tile thickness for a flush finish.

FAQs

What is the purpose of a Box Listello trim?

A Box Listello trim, like the Tile Rite TSF269, serves as a decorative border or accent strip in tile installations. It adds a professional, architectural detail, breaking up large tile expanses, framing features like niches, or creating subtle linear effects.

What tile thickness is this trim compatible with?

This trim is designed for tiles with a thickness of 6mm to 7mm. For a flush finish, it's essential that your tiles match this depth.

Can this trim be used in a shower or wet room?

Yes, it is manufactured from anodised aluminium, providing high corrosion resistance and moisture protection, making it suitable for wet areas like showers and kitchens.

How do I clean the Bright Silver finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly to maintain the polished appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can the trim be installed vertically?

Yes, the Tile Rite TSF269 Box Listello Trim can be installed both horizontally and vertically to achieve different design effects.

What material is the trim made from?

It is made from high-grade 6463-T6 aluminium with a polished Bright Silver anodised finish.

What is the length of one trim piece?

Each trim piece measures 2.44 meters in length.

Troubleshooting

Trim does not sit flush with tiles.

Verify the thickness of your tiles. This trim is designed for 6-7mm tiles. If your tiles are thicker, a deeper profile trim may be required. Ensure consistent adhesive application behind the trim.

Corners do not meet cleanly.

Ensure accurate 45-degree mitre cuts are made using an appropriate tile saw or mitre box. Practice cuts on scrap pieces if necessary.

Finish appears dull or tarnished.

The anodised finish is highly resistant, but prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals can affect it. Clean with a mild detergent and water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Trim is difficult to cut.

Use a sharp blade on your cutting tool (e.g., tile saw, hacksaw with a fine-tooth blade). Ensure the trim is securely held during cutting to prevent vibration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a sophisticated, modern decorative element.
  • Durable construction with excellent corrosion resistance.
  • Versatile for horizontal and vertical applications.
  • Polished finish complements modern bathroom and kitchen fittings.
  • Easy to cut and mitre for professional corner details.

Cons

  • Requires precise tile thickness matching due to its 7mm depth.
  • May not be suitable for very thick or unusually thin tiles without careful consideration.
  • The bright silver finish can show water spots if not dried properly.
  • Limited to a 10mm width, which might be too slim for some design intentions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This listello trim is designed to be installed within the tile adhesive bed. After dry-fitting and cutting to size (mitring corners for a seamless finish), apply tile adhesive to the wall and bed the trim into place, ensuring it is level and aligned with your tile layout. Subsequently, apply tiles around the trim, maintaining consistent grout lines. The trim should sit flush with the finished tile surface.

Compatibility: The Tile Rite TSF269 is ideally suited for tiles with a thickness of 6mm to 7mm. It can be used with ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles. For optimal results, ensure the thickness of the adjacent tiles matches the 7mm depth of the listello.

Care: Clean the trim with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to maintain its polished finish and prevent water spots. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
