I'm planning on having a glass tile wall surround installed around my bathtub. It's a standard 5' recessed tub (with apron), the surround will cover 3 walls and extend approximately 2/3 of the way up the wall. I realize installing glass tile is more difficult than ceramic so I'll be having a professional installer coming in to perform the work. However I'll be purchasing the materials myself.

My problem is the glass tile I've selected doesn't have trim tile available with it for the edges. Any ideas for my options for finishing the 3 exposed edges of the surround?

that's a difficult call without seeing the tiles in question.

with the 10mm thick modern glass tiles I often don't trim them with anything so the light shines through the edges which can look good. If I do trim the edge then a simple square-edged tile trim is normally the best option

ah, ok

an un-finished CUT edge is not an option with any tile!
I think tile-trim is the way to go.

I would use the more expensive chrome / alluminium, but a white or black plastic version is also an option
