Scout Shot of the Day: Tile Edge Detail

We are always particular about small details on our projects - details that can either ruin an otherwise successful design, or can make them sing.  One frequent detail that we must resolve is how to stop the wall tile at a bathroom, in this case, so that we have a clean detail without unfinished edges or unsightly grout showing. 

We have used bullnose tile, decorative profiled tile, wood trim details, etc., but in this project in Westport, CT we needed a more modern detail to finish the wall tile edge.  As shown here, we found a product that provides a nice clean line, flush with the face of the tile and is available in stainless steel, aluminum, solid brass, or white as seen here (they may have other colors as well).  This finishing edge trim allowed us to tile right to the edge of this window frame without needing any traditional wood casing - keeping the detailing clean and tight.

Scout Shot of the Day: Stairwell

We have been posting a few of these images on our Facebook fan page as a way to disseminate images that we would not typically show in our portfolio.  These are far from professional photographs, but literally scout shots frequently taken with our iPhones.  They sometimes show small details, cool materials, or just interesting images about our work. 

We have gotten a good response, so we thought we would do the same here.  Enjoy.

And, if you would like to check out our Facebook page you can see it here.
