Various Types of Bullnose Tile and Where to Use it Best

Are you building your dream home? Perhaps you are just doing some renovations. Either way, you are trying to figure out more information regarding bullnose tile and where to use it in your home. Bullnose tile is a special type of tile that is used mainly in bathrooms. The feature that makes a bullnose tile distinct is the rounded edge. Not only does bullnose tile provide a nice finishing touch to each tiling project, but it is also a great safety solution because it doesn’t have those sharp edges.

So, when should I use bullnose tile?

Bullnose edge tile can be used for a vast array of purposes. A few examples of when you should use bullnose tile are:

Bullnose tiles can be used to cover edges of almost anything, therefore they are extremely efficient in corners. Not only does this help from a design standpoint, but you will have the added benefit of feeling safer in your kitchen or bathroom due to the lack of sharp edges!

Perhaps you are installing a backsplash. Many times, the line between the tiled area and the wall is more visible than we would like them to be. This may cause the work to look unfinished. Matching bullnose tile is a great, quick fix to add that final touch to your backsplash.

You know the area on your floors where they meet with the wall? This is the PERFECT place to use bullnose tiles! They will mesh perfectly with the design and can help protect against water leaks if tiles are not installed properly.

If you are looking to add some decoration, bullnose tiles are often used as a decorative element on areas like the wall. You can get a nice contrasting pattern or just simply use a color that flows well with the design of your home.

Types of Bullnose Tile

There are a variety of types of bullnose tiles, such as:

Edge bullnose tile – As their name states, this type of bullnose tile is perfect to cover the edges and provide a great look.

Double bullnose tiles – The difference in double bullnose tiles is that they are rounded on two corners. These are great for bathtubs, shower cabins and countertop corners.

Subway tile bullnose – This tile type is a favorite of many designers due to its timeless look and inexpensive price tag.

Rectangular bullnose tile – These tiles are typically larger and better for designs that use bigger tiles. The typical size for a rectangular bullnose tile is 3x13 inches.

Square bullnose tile – Square bullnose tiles are typically 4x4 or 6x6 inches. Due to being so small in size, when they are combined with the main tiles the after effect of the design can be stunning.
