Bevelled Tiles

Curious about bevelled tiles but not sure if they’re the right fit for your space? You’re not alone. Their angled edges bring a ton of character but they also come with a few common questions, from what trims to use to cleaning and where they work best. Here’s everything you need to know to make an informed (and stylish) choice.

 

What are bevelled tiles?

Bevelled tiles have sloped edges that catch the light and add depth to your walls. That slight angle gives the grout lines a sharper look, adding texture to your space. In plain terms, they make walls look considered and polished, not just tiled. Due to this, they’re a great choice for splashbacks, shower walls and feature areas where you want some visual interest without going overboard on colour or pattern.

 

What is the best trim for bevelled tiles?

Metal trim is your best bet, brushed or polished, whichever suits your style. Metal gives a crisp edge that works perfectly with the angled shape of bevelled tiles.

Plastic trim can fade or discolour over time, while metal stays looking sharp. It also fits more neatly over the bevel, so your finish looks well thought out; not like a last minute fix.

 

Are bevelled tiles hard to clean?

Not at all. The sloped edges can collect a bit more dust or soap residue than flat tiles but it’s nothing a quick wipe can’t handle. Warm water and a soft cloth usually do the trick; no need for harsh cleaners or heavy scrubbing. Stay on top of regular cleaning and you’ll keep that defined look with minimal effort.
