Applications
Use for appropriate floor, wall and countertop tile edges in residential or commercial interiors. It can finish a tile perimeter or separate tile from an adjacent wood, vinyl or carpet surface when both materials meet at the same finished height.
Plan Your Installation
- Match the profile height to the actual tile and installation build-up before setting. This edge is not a reducer for flooring at different elevations.
- Choose the finish for the projectās exposure and cleaning conditions; finish names such as Brushed Nickel identify appearance, not a solid nickel construction.
- For anodized aluminum, avoid high-chemical exposures and abrasive cleaning. Remove mortar and grout residue promptly and follow the finish-specific care instructions.
- A curved border requires the appropriate open-mounting-leg profile. Do not assume the straight profiles in this selector are the separate bendable configuration.
Common Planning Questions
Can I choose this solely by the color name?
No. Confirm height and material as well as appearance. The profile must fit the tile edge and the intended service conditions.
