Description
While bullnose finishing is very popular, not all tile ranges will include matching bullnose tiles or trim. Some people also don’t like the look of bullnose solutions. Fortunately, there are some alternatives: 1. Tile Edging Strip Another factor in choosing the right bullnose tile product is knowing your measurements. Measure twice, cut once isn’t just good advice for wood cutting. Measure your space, measure your tiles, and sketch out your design a few different times to make sure you know just what dimensions you’ll need for your bullnose tile. Another potential disadvantage is the fact that bullnose tiles come in standardized sizes. If your tile project is an even size, then the shape and size of bullnose tiles are fine. But if the floor you want to tile is just a little bit uneven in dimensions, you may have to cut or trim your bullnose tiles to fit.
Bullnose tiles are rounded on one edge , giving them a soft, intricate appearance. However, they do not offer any structural support and should not be used on outside corners or in areas where tile may receive a heavy impact. The person who coined the term decided that the edge of the tile resembled the rounded nose of a bull, and the name was born.They also create a smooth transition between tiles and other surfaces , such as countertops or shower walls. Schluter strips are made from durable corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring long-lasting stability in wet environments. When it comes to design choices, one must consider both a project’s aesthetic and practical elements. In tiling, both bullnose and Schluter trim options can provide an attractive finished edge, but they have distinct differences in functionality. Overall, a bullnose edge adds a subtle touch to the design of a space and can be an excellent choice for those looking for a softer, more rounded look.
If your tile selection is unavailable in bullnose, you can get creative and find a similar style of tile. We did this with the Carerra marble in our shower niche and on the shower wall. The Carrera marble that we found available in bullnose was an almost exact match for the large marble hexagon tiles so it worked out well. Depending on the project you have in mind, bullnose tile may not be the best option. Natural stone floors or walls, or metal surfaces, may work better with edging and trim in those materials. How to Choose the Right Bullnose Tile for Your Home Project This allows the edge of the tile to be bullnosed and the color will be the same, or similar, to the surface. Much like a natural stone. Bullnose tile can also take the place of a baseboard, especially rectangular tiles, which will not just provide a clean finish but also a more waterproof surface compared to traditional wood. The AdvantagesFloors: A row of bullnose tiles can take the place of a wooden baseboard and give any bathroom floor a finished look. This added moisture protection will also help to preserve the bottom portion of your walls. The trend in tile choices is exploding and there just aren’t enough matching trim tiles being made. Hopefully, one of these tile edge trim alternatives will work for you. Although there are many advantages to bullnose trim tile, there are also some disadvantages to consider before making your decision to buy. Finishing the edges with caulk and opting out of using a tile trim piece is a cheap and easy option, but it’s not the prettiest.
The bullnose should also be grouted with matching color to blend seamlessly with the rest of the tiles. This finishing touch adds functionality (preventing sharp edges) and visual appeal to any tiling project.Just like bullnose tile trim works well to ease the transition between wall and floor, it also helps to create a clean edge where tiled floors meet the wall. The clean edge and firm fit can also provide insurance against leaks that can occur where floor and wall meet, in areas like the kitchenand bathroom.
Additionally, squarish and rounded profiles are becoming more popular. Examples of the different styles are: This option is best for tiles that already have a finished appearance like mosaics, tumbled stone, glass, and some porcelain tiles. It is not recommended for regular tiles that need a transition as they will appear rough and unfinished. Skip the trim if you’re utilizing glass tiles to save time and cash. Glass tiles will often have a cut and an uncut edge. Once you are installing glass tiles, put them in a way that the cut edges are touching each other or a cabinet. Keep the smooth, uncut edges on the outside for a natural trim. Schluter metal strips are great for creating a seamless, professional finish in tiled areas. They can be used as edge protection for exposed tile edges or as a divider between different types of tiles.
Jolly pieces are similar to pencil trim except that the edges are raw and squared-off, instead of round and smooth. While it does provide a waterproof seal (which is important), it leaves the tiles with a sharp, squared edge that can snag clothing and scratch anyone who brushes against the corner. This is a big safety issue for any application. Plus, it just won’t look as neat and finished as with a trim piece. Make Your Own Bullnose
