Finishing edges - NO BULLNOSE

[shetektn]

Well, I may have really put myself in a pickle. I could not find ANY bullnose or corner or pencil edging that remotely came close to anything I wanted up against my tile. I read where edges could be finished with colored caulk. I also read that if you have glass tile (I do.) you may not want to cover up the sides of exposed tile as the color may be "tied in" to the color scheme of the room. I have NOT grouted yet and am very confused as to what to do with tile that ends on the corner of the wall. Maybe I have not left room to do anything. Maybe I have sealed my fate.🙁 This is why professionals get paid to do the job.🙂 Any suggestions?

could you not cut off the last row of mosaic and use a stainless steel finish square edge trim then trim the last row to fit the trim ?? , its got to look better than what you have i reckon

Yep, with Paul on this one except that you may get away without trimming the tile as the trim is only a couple of mm thick. Just re-fix them without the need to trim .... possibly, if the grout joint is going to be too thin between the last row and the next, possible take 3 or 4 columns off and narrow each by a half a mm to even them out.

Well, I didn't scour the entire nation, but 3/4's of the state I live in and every web site I could find. I paid for numerous "samples" and delayed my tiling job by almost 6 months just searching for a way to end that corner to my satisfaction. I was very disappointed with everything I found to mix with my tile selection. The sad reality is... There are no photos or depictions of finished corners except those with corner pieces or "wraps". I'm beginning to think there ARE things that cannot be done with tile and I have done them. :mad2: Many thanks for the suggestions! I will post what I end up with. :thinking2:
