Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I add pencil tile trim after tiling

Adding a pencil tile will give flair to your new design. To complete this process, you will need to choose a finishing piece suitable for your area of application. It’s worth noting that, like standard tiles, certain edge materials are suitable for shower walls but not floors. Others are rated for both surfaces while some options can be installed in the bathroom but not the steam room. Make sure to check “Area of Use” to ensure the product lines up with your projects.

2. Is edge tiling material necessary?

Pencil tile edging is necessary for both aesthetic and practical reasons. It adds a professional finish. At the same time, it protects your installation against chipping and moisture damage.

3. How does a pencil molding tile work?

A pencil liner tile can be used to provide a seamless transition where tiles meet or as a closing detail for corners and edges. Whether adding detailing to a stunning tiled backsplash, shower wall, or fireplace surround, we have the perfect pencil tile trim for every project.

4. What pencil tile trim styles are available?

Protective and decorative edge pieces are available in many design variations. From matte to honed marble to wood-look tile trim. Be inspired by Apollo Tiles’ product range for commercial and residential use. Browse our collection and shop now to complement your creative design.

5. What is the best material for tile trims?

Just like selecting standard tiles, make sure to invest in quality trims you can trust. We carry pencil tile trims in glass, marble, and ceramic with robust strength and durability.

6. How do I determine how much trim to shop for?

To determine how much pencil trim you need to complete your project, we recommend the total measurement in linear footage. To do this, measure the length of each side of the surface where it is to be installed and divide the total by the length of your trim. Make sure to invest in extra pieces to give yourself room for error.

7. How do I install pencil molding tile for a professional look?

To start application, spread and even out adhesive on the edges where the trim will be applied. Press the pencil liner into this place to the correct level, ensuring the trim and tile flush to form a smooth, professional look. Repeat the same process until you’ve covered the edges and finish off by completing the rest of your installation.

In areas where tiles are bound to get wet, make sure to leave a 2mm gap between the edge of the tile and the trim. Then grout the space to guarantee a watertight finish. To keep clean, use the same pH tile cleaner you would for standard tiles—nothing too harsh or abrasive.

For tough stains, a soft-bristled brush and some elbow grease should be enough to give tiles their exquisite shine. Marble pencil tile trim isn’t 100% non-porous so we recommend sealing after installation to guard against moisture and stains.
