Materials You'll Need:
Tile countertop edge trim
Miter saw or tile cutter
Adhesive specifically designed for tile countertops
Grout and grout float
Sponge and clean water

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Trim

Before you can install the edge trim, you need to determine the length and angle of each piece. Measure the length of the edge you want to trim and mark it on the edge trim. Using a miter saw or tile cutter, cut the trim to the desired length and angle. For inside corners, cut the trim at a 45-degree angle. For outside corners, cut the trim at a 22.5-degree angle.

Step 2: Apply Adhesive

Apply a thin line of adhesive specifically designed for tile countertops to the back of the edge trim. Make sure to evenly distribute the adhesive over the entire surface. Avoid using too much adhesive, as it can ooze out from the sides and create a messy finish.

Step 3: Install the Trim

Align the edge trim with the edge of the countertop and firmly press it into place. Use a level to ensure that the trim is straight and even. Hold the trim in place until the adhesive has set, which typically takes a few minutes.

Step 4: Miter Inside Corners

For inside corners, you need to miter the two pieces of edge trim together. This involves cutting each piece at a 45-degree angle and then fitting them together to form a seamless corner. Apply adhesive to the mitered edges and press them together firmly.

Step 5: Miter Outside Corners

For outside corners, you need to miter the two pieces of edge trim together at a 22.5-degree angle. Apply adhesive to the mitered edges and press them together firmly. Use a small piece of scrap wood to hold the corner in place while the adhesive sets.

Step 6: Grout the Trim

Once the adhesive has set, you can apply grout to the space between the edge trim and the countertop. Use a grout float to evenly distribute the grout and force it into the gaps. Remove any excess grout with a damp sponge. Allow the grout to dry completely.

Step 7: Seal the Grout

Finally, apply a grout sealer to protect the grout from moisture and staining. Use a brush or sponge to apply the sealer, following the manufacturer's instructions. Allow the sealer to dry completely.
