Ceramic and stone tiles are durable, easy to maintain, and hygienic, representing the ideal surface
coverings for showers and bathtub surrounds. Exposed tile edges, however, are unsightly and
prone to cracking and chipping. While ceramic trim pieces such as bullnose or quarter round have
traditionally been used to finish and protect tile edges at the outside corners and perimeters of an
installation, ceramic trim availability can be limited, particularly in imported tile lines, which can in
turn limit overall tile selection.
Schluter

-Systems offers various finishing and edge-protection profiles for outside corners and
other tiled edges that can be used with any field tile, thus reducing dependence on ceramic trim
and increasing design options. These profiles are available in a wide range of materials and finishes
such as stainless steel, anodized aluminum, brass, and colored PVC to produce a variety of looks,
including bold contrasts, discreet color matches to the grout, and complements to plumbing fixtures.
