An extra piece of the same type of tile is glued to the underside of the tile edge to give it double thickness. Next the front face is machined to a perfectly flat finish as the name implies. Finally a small arras is cut along the top and bottom edges to finish it off with soft, safe edges.

The result is contemporary, unobtrusive and easy on the eye.

This profile is becoming increasingly popular with Queensland and northern N.S.W. pool builders who want to offer the most up to date designs to their clients.

The construction of this profile involves bonding a strip of tile (usually of 30 – 90mm height) at right angles onto the floor tile, which we  machine with our very popular half bullnosed round edge.

When installing this type of apron coping, it’s important to remember that the apron strip also needs to be fully supported with tile adhesive when being installed to achieve maximum strength and durability of the product.

Because of the quality tile edging that stile edge provides, it seems to give our tiles that something extra, bringing an element of life to our customers tiling jobs.

With Stile Edge’s fantastic service and a great range of edge profiles combined with a quick turnaround time, Stile edge has something to suit everyone.

Here’s some common and practical reasons and uses for tile edging,

This will help to explain why most people decide on having tile edging or ceramic edging applied to their tiles instead of using a pre-made option.

• When you apply tile edging to your floor tile, your always going to end up with a perfectly matching edging tile.
• Your edging tile has a much larger gluing area meaning the likely hood of the tile becoming unstuck is reduced significantly.
• You are also limiting the number of grout joints.
• Unfortunately most of the time a plastic or aluminum tile trim is not suitable for use on floors which means when they are used for stairs they almost always become loose and fall apart over time.

Some of the most common applications for an edging tile with a custom tile bullnose applied to it are…

• Stairs, Stair nosing tiles are very commonly used with tile edging applications, and when you add the anti-slip grooves to the tile, the tile bullnose or tile edging really is an obvious choice.
• Swimming Pools, Swimming Pool Coping is another very popular and practicle use of tile edging, in fact most of our clients use our tile bullnose profiles on swimming pool applications.
