Decorative Moldings Combined with Tile

Decorative Moldings Combined with Tile

Can decorative moldings be combined with tile? Of course they can! And quite successfully.

Moldings have become a very popular solution for giving a room a respectable appearance.

They cost reasonably, are installed without complex preparatory work. There is a wide variety to choose from.

Let's see how tile on the wall and moldings were successfully combined.

Really, the appearance is completely different, not so monotonous and boring.

What about installation?

Everything is manageable here. Of course, quality installation will require good tools and skill, but don't worry, the process is not complicated.

For independent installation you will need:

  1. Silicone gun

  2. Miter saw with a good blade

  3. Installation adhesive

  4. Tape measure

  5. Pencil

  6. Laser level

Special adhesive is needed, and as a rule, it's sold in the same place where moldings are sold.

The moldings themselves. They are typically made from durable XPS material — this is sturdy foam.

It is best to cut to size and miter the corners using a miter saw. The main requirement is a good blade with a large number of teeth.

After installation, moldings are typically painted. Paint for walls should be acrylic-based, preferably a high-quality one.
