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 answer we usually give is…”It depends”.

It entirely depends on the type of tile your using and the application of the tile.

Almost all floor tiles can have an edging profile applied to it, regardless of the application and profile, whereas some wall tiles are so soft and fragile it becomes increasingly difficult to get a good quality profile.

But, if your wanting to mitre your wall tiles, then by all means you can easily apply a mitred edge profile to your wall tiles, so it really does depend on your particular tile and their application. A mitred edge is still technically a profile.

In the video below we show you some examples of what your Tile Edging will look like on some of the different types of tiles you can have edged.

The Laminated Full Bullnose is a chunkier, more traditional profile for those who prefer a thicker and more prominent look on their tile edging.

As it’s name implies, this edge is achieved by cutting a strip of the same type of tile and laminating it (by clamping and gluing) to the underside of the edge of the tile.

When the epoxy glue has fully dried, the tile is then put through the bullnosing process and honed or polished as required.

You will need to allow for significantly longer lead times when ordering the Laminated Full Bullnose due to it’s labour intensive nature.

The following video clip will provide you with further information.
