The Genesis ETR Round Edge PVC Tile Trim delivers a softly curved, safe finish to exposed tile edges on walls and floors. Unlike a straight edge trim, the rounded quadrant profile is forgiving on corners and is rated for floor use — a second upright support closes the face of the profile, preventing the trim lifting under foot traffic. Specially designed corner pieces (PR, PD, PE) are available separately, eliminating the need to mitre at internal and external corners. All profiles are 2.5m in length. Choose a trim depth 1.5–2.0mm greater than your tile thickness to account for the adhesive bed.

ETR round edge vs ESP straight edge — which do I need?
Choose ETR round edge when
Finishing floor tile edges — the ETR is rated for foot traffic, the ESP is not
Working with cushion edge tiles — the overhang lip butts cleanly against the tile's own rounded edge
Corners are involved — purpose-made corner pieces mean no mitring required
A softer, more traditional finish is preferred over a sharp straight edge
Choose ESP straight edge when
A sharp, modern straight edge finish is required on wall tiles
Working with rectified tiles where a crisp geometric edge is important
Capping strips or ceramic skirting are needed
Not suitable for floor use
How to fit & cut tile trim
Cutting to length
1
Measure and mark the trim length required before cutting. Always measure twice.
Allow an extra 2–3mm if the trim will butt into a corner piece.
2
Cut with a fine-tooth mitre saw, hacksaw, or sharp craft knife and straight edge.
3
At corners, use the purpose-made ETR corner pieces (PR, PD, PE) rather than mitring.
Corner pieces are available in 6, 8, 10 and 12mm to match all profile depths.
4
Lightly sand any rough cut ends before fitting.
If mitring instead of using corner pieces, take care — the rounded face requires a precise 45° cut to avoid gaps.
Fitting the trim
1
Select the correct trim depth — should be 1.5–2.0mm greater than the tile to allow for the adhesive bed.
Dry-fit before applying adhesive to confirm position and length.
2
Trowel tile adhesive over the fixing area and press the perforated fixing tab firmly into it.
3
Trowel additional adhesive over the fixing tab, then firmly embed tiles so the tiled surface is flush with or up to 1mm below the top of the profile.
The profile should never sit higher than the tile surface, particularly on floors.
4
Fill the joint completely with grout. Clean the trim face with a damp cloth before grout sets.
