Abstract

A strong marble tile trim for providing a smooth transition at an inside corner between two tile walls and at an outside corner for a termination point of tile, is shown in which the tile trim is made from permanently bonded strips with one of the strips having an exposed face formed as a quarter-round surface having a radius in the range of about 2.0 to 3.3 times the thickness of the tile. The method of making the strip is described in which two standard tiles have their major faces placed against permanently bonding mortar and, after being bonded, they are cut into strips and one of said strips has formed thereon, by grinding, either a concave or a convex surface having a radius in the range of about 2.0 to 3.3 times the thickness of the tile for which it has been formed, yet still within one tile thickness.
