Trim often gets forgotten, which is really too bad. It can act as the finishing touch to an installation and if left out of your initial order, you might run into additional fees and we'd like to help you avoid that! We will always ask if you need it, but a lot of times you just aren't sure if you do or you don't.
There are occasions where you might not need it. For example, you might have your tile or brick simply meeting against other surfaces, making it unnecessary. If you need help determining whether or not trim is a must for your project, feel free to contact us or fill out our Design Assistance Form and we'll be happy to assist you!
Glazed Edge
Our standard tile and brick do not come with the edges glazed, so glazed edge pieces the simplest way to finish an installation. This is where we glaze the specified edges of tile or brick; whether it be the long edge, short edge or corner. You can opt for this if you have tile that is meeting a wall where the edge of the tile will be visible.

We also make corner pieces for Brick specifically and we can glaze the edges on these pieces as well.

Bullnose
A bullnose trim piece is rounded, providing a clean transition into the wall or to go around a corner. Like glazed edges, you can specify if you need the short or long edge or a corner piece bullnose.

Liners
Liners are more decorative but are a clean way to finish an installation. We offer Glazed Edges on these pieces as well.

Quarter Rounds vs. Round Liners
A quarter-round trim piece is used to turn a corner or to finish the edge of your installation; for example in a bathroom setting or kitchen back backsplash.
A round liner trim piece is used to frame out tile, much like a flat liner, but with more of an architectural, traditional look. You can see the difference between a Round Liner, Quarter Round, and a Flat Liner below.

Architectural Moldings
You can use our Architectural moldings as a decorative trim to achieve a traditional aesthetic (we have a blog on Traditional bathrooms that you can look at here). Inspired by classical architecture, using molding really gives a finished feel. You often find this sort of trim in a bathroom setting (to frame out a mirror for example) or simply for added dimension and detail as shown below.
