Reliable edge protection with an aluminium tile rail
Aluminium tile rails are essential for creating clean and secure transitions in any tiling project. They effectively shield vulnerable tile edges from chips and cracks, ensuring a long-lasting and pristine appearance for your walls and floors.
Whether you are renovating a bathroom or fitting a new kitchen splashback, these profiles offer both functional protection and an elegant finish. They seamlessly bridge gaps and cover sharp tile borders, providing a safe environment and a highly professional look.
Our range of aluminium tile rails and profiles
In our shop, you will find a comprehensive selection of profiles manufactured by Dalsys. The assortment includes classic angle profiles, robust corner profiles, and elegant quarter-circle profiles to suit different installation requirements and aesthetic preferences.
To match your interior design, the rails are available in attractive finishes such as matt silver, gloss chrome, black, and white. You can select profile heights of 8 mm, 10 mm, or 12.5 mm, with standard lengths of 200 cm and 250 cm, as well as convenient multipacks and matching end pieces for a flawless corner finish.
How to choose the right aluminium tile rail
Selecting the correct profile height is crucial for a flush finish; always choose a rail that is slightly higher than your tile thickness to accommodate the adhesive layer. Angle profiles are ideal for straight transitions, whilst quarter-circle and corner profiles provide superior impact protection on external corners.
Depending on the chosen profile type, length, and whether you require single pieces or multipacks, prices range from approximately 0.99 GBP to 72.99 GBP (as of 2026). This allows you to plan your project efficiently, regardless of its scale.
Frequently asked questions about aluminium tile rails
How do I determine the correct height for my tile profile?
To find the right height, add approximately 1 to 2 millimetres to the thickness of your tiles. This extra space accommodates the tile adhesive and ensures the tile sits flush with the upper edge of the rail.
Can I cut an aluminium tile rail to size?
Yes, aluminium profiles can be easily cut to your required length using a standard hacksaw or an angle grinder with a suitable metal-cutting disc. Ensure you file down any sharp burrs after cutting for a safe installation.
Are aluminium profiles suitable for wet areas like showers?
Anodised aluminium tile rails are highly resistant to moisture and corrosion, making them an excellent choice for bathrooms and shower enclosures. However, you should avoid using harsh, acidic cleaning agents, as these can damage the anodised surface.
How are the matching end pieces installed?
The matching end pieces and external corners are simply inserted into the ends of the quarter-circle or square profiles during the tiling process. They are then secured in place with tile adhesive, eliminating the need for complex mitre cuts.
What is the difference between an angle profile and a corner profile?
Angle profiles are typically used to create clean borders or transitions between different floor coverings. Corner profiles, on the other hand, are specifically designed to protect and enclose 90-degree external wall corners, offering enhanced impact resistance.
