Tile Edge Detail

20 days ago

Here is the shower tile edge detail in room 473 of the Tremont Hotel in Galveston, Texas and I really like it. It may be Schluter, I don't know.

You can argue the contrast, but a color matching the grout may be less stark and more to your taste. White would work too.

This is so much faster and less expensive than mitering the tile and is much more functional. This edge may survive a whack, mitered not so much.

Schluter is not suited to all installs.

In heritage remodels we seldom use anything but its underlay products. I would not even attempt a shower these days without Schluter, having no fond memories of the old ways of building a shower bed.

We use Schluter where it works and not where it does not work, and I expect most remodlers do the same.

It's definitely Schluter, specifically Schluter Systems Schiene 0.5-in W x 98.5-in L Matte Black Textured Color-Coated Aluminum L-angle Tile Edge Trim

What I usually choose with Schluter is the more invisible one but for sure neater, and much easier to install.and care for

It really comes down to the style and look of the tiles used. A metal edge trim works in some but not on a more traditional style project.

Not sure why so many people are anti Schluter but this looks great and functional! We have it in a bathroom and kitchen closely color matched and it is more of a non feature.
