Tile trim at external 3 way corner

[petek]

Just ready to set about tiling round the new kitchen cupboards and
trying to decide the neatest way to finish the tiles where they meet
at an external 3 way corner. This is the corner where the window
ledge, the wall behind the sink and the wall to the back door come
together, IYSWIM.

I have seen this done by amateur and so-called professional tilers
using plastic tile trim. The best seem to cut a mitre on the two
horizontal edges but leave the vertical edge to but up against the
other two. This leaves a sharp point on the mitre which protrudes and
doesn't look very good.
The worst aren't worth describing.

Any ideas of the best way to do it?

TIA

There are corner pieces available for some types of trim. You'd have to
check with the makers to see if they do what you need. I didn't have this
problem as I used a nice chunky wood sill.

That it the way I did mine, and I think it looks fine. You can reduce
the sharp point by leaving a gap in the mitre and filling with grout.

Just remembered I did a step like this - one where the sides were exposed
so tiled too. Used a corner piece on the face and the beading along the
top lines up perfectly with that. Homebase had the corner pieces - but
dunno about colours. I was using the 'chrome' finish stuff.

Thanks for your replies, but I have found the solution myself after a
bit of searching on t'internet. I should have done this before posting
my question!
A company called "Genesis" makes PVC (& metal) extruded tile trim with
matching corner pieces. The colour range for the trim is extensive but
the corner pieces only come in white or cream which suits me. Also
found a stockist near to me, Euxton Tile Supplies, Chorley.

Thanks again for your help.

Right - I was using Homelux. They could have had corners in plastic - I
simply didn't notice. Was happy to get them in 'chrome'. At a cost, of
course.
