Quad Edges
We are running some quad (I think it's actually window glazing) around our newly laid floors - quad is butting up against some rough bagged brick walls so can't do skirting. Looks pretty good so far.
I have just come to a point where the quad will end at an open spot - we have a large archway so at the floor where the arch starts, the quad will end.
I cut the edges as normal mitres but they just don't look right when I lay them on the floor - the wife thinks they look fine but I don't. It's hard to describe so I have made a diagram - attached. That may confuse things even more but of someone understands what I mean I would really appreciate the feedback as to which of the two options I have drawn looks better.
Thanks in advance.

The wife's way is always right, the question is how to convince her that your way is really her way!

Believe me, the quad looks much better. It's actually bluegum glazing matched to the floors so it actually looks quite good. Originally Posted by ozwinner

OK, both are wrong IMHO.
You cut the end at 45, then a small piece is cut at 45 for the return. That is as if the moulding (not quad) is turning the corner. Alternatively, you can cut at 90 degrees and plane the same profile on the square edge.
