In Reply to: tileing stairs/what to do with the edge posted by Sharlee on June 29, 19102 at 10:38:11:
: We have two steps leading out of our dining room into a sunken living room. We are tiling the dining room and are wanting to also tile the steps. The tile is ceramic and the pattern doesn't go all the way through the tile and so they have ugly edges. We are wondering about what to do with the edge of the step. Either way you butt the tile to each other there is the ugly side showing. My husband is concerned that if we just grout it the grout won't hold up to the wear. I was thinking that the grout would come out at a 45 degree angle and the wear would still be on the tile. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
Perhaps a wood bullnose stained to match the tile would work. You want to make sure that the profiles match on th thickness.
