Radiused Trims Defined

When ordering any radiused trim it is necessary to specify whether the trim is required Toe-In or Toe-Out.

Where a radiused trim is in contact with a metal ceiling tile (tile perimeter trims or tile to plasterboard trim) the side that accepts the metal tile takes primary control in determining the toe. For example:

When using a Tile Perimeter Trim such as TCA 0108, Toe-In indicates the “C-channel” that accepts the cut metal tile is rolled in towards the metal tiles. Toe-Out indicates the “C-channel” rolled away from the metal tiles.

When using a Tile to Plasterboard Trim such as FAB-SJ-150, Toe-In indicates the “C-channel” that accepts the cut metal tile is rolled in towards the metal tiles, and rolled away from the plasterboard. Toe-Out indicates the “C-channel” is rolled away from the metal tiles and rolled in towards the plasterboard.

In the case of Plasterboard perimeter trim where no metal tiles are used the plasterboard takes primary control in determining the toe. For example:

When using a Plasterboard Perimeter Trim such as FAB-ST-150, Toe-In indicates the plasterboard support edge is rolled in towards the plasterboard. Toe-Out indicates the plasterboard support edge is rolled away from the plasterboard.
