Oct 12, 2024 · Because you’ve cut the anchor leg down to 1/4″, you’ll need to remove all the thinset under every tile along this edge, to a depth of at least 1/4″.

- Glass tile edge trim. Glass is another material that naturally has a finished edge. Although, unlike natural stone, the edge is usually finished without any additional steps.
- Metal Profile edges. I know that just the mention of metal edge trim is going to cause some to skip right past this section. No doubt some will envision dreary hospitals and cold modern minimalist homes when thinking of metal tile trim.
- Mitering. An often overlooked option is to miter the tile edges. This option is only for corners and it isn’t the most durable option. Mitering tile on stairs is something that I don’t think is a good idea as I don’t think the corners will hold up over the long term.

To maintain consistency, a bathroom typically looks best if the trim is the same for all tiles. The trim for the tiled floors generally looks best if it matches the trim for the shower.

- shower tile edge detail #1 - Slab material. I absolutely love to use a slab material as a transition when I can. It presents such a neat and tidy look, provides a slight inside corner for the tile to die into, and is easy to maintain, long term.
- shower tile edge detail #2 - Tile with trim piece or finished edge. In some situations, like in really small bathrooms where I don’t want a big transition to show up between the shower and floor or walls, then I might do a trim piece or a tile with a bullnose edge piece to end the tile.
- shower tile edge detail #3 - Door jambs or other inside corner transitions. In this bathroom remodel, below, we had a door jamb on one side of the shower and then a tall cabinet on the other that we could die the tile into.
- shower tile edge detail #4 - Schluter Trim. I rarely use Schluter trim to finish off tile, although many designers do. I might use the white version if I had to, with a white tile, hoping it would blend in and go away visually, but I just feel it often looks too abrupt or just not well thought out.

Bullnose tile trim consists of tile trim pieces with a finished, half-rounded edge that curves on the outward side to transition to the wall or floor. Schluter finishes are available with rounded, square and flat sides.

In case your trim tiles are bigger or smaller than the tiles along your edge, measure the edge of your tiled surface, then divide that number by the width of your desired trim tile. For example, the edge you’ll be trimming is 190 inches long. The trim tiles that you want are 5 inches long. 190 divided by 5 = 38 tiles.
