Using Metal Tile Edge Trim in Modern Bathrooms

Using Metal Tile Edge Trim in Modern Bathrooms

A current client is looking to achieve a fresh modern look and when it came to the shower bullnose - we explored our options from the traditional tile bullnose. A bullnose is a tile that has one finished edge, typically with a gently rounded edge and used to create a transition between the tile and the wall.   [caption id="attachment_1133" align="alignleft" width="198"] Contemporary Bathroom Shower with Metal Edge Trim[/caption] In today's contemporary baths, we often see the large scale 12" x 24" tiles that offer a more modern look. Just like our client, we wanted a clean edge, so we suggested using a metal trim to give the 12" x 24" tiles a beautiful, clean, and modern edge. You can use this edge trim where the tile meets the wall, where the two outside corners meet, or even between tiles that acts like grout and as a detail accent.
