ALUMINUM TILE EDGE PROFILE - MILL, 5/16" x 96"

Caps the exposed edge of installed tile and creates a clean, finished transition between a tiled surface and an adjacent flooring material (carpet, wood, vinyl, painted drywall). The L-shaped profile tucks under the last row of tile during setting; the bullnose return covers and protects the raw cut edge of the tile.

  • Material: Extruded aluminum with mill finish (natural raw silver-aluminum, no coating)
  • Height: 5/16" (sized for standard thin-set wall tile and thin floor tile up to roughly 8 mm)
  • Length: 96" (8 ft; cut to length with a hacksaw and metal file)
  • Use: Tile-to-carpet, tile-to-wood, tile-to-vinyl floor transitions; finishing exposed tile edges at countertops, backsplash returns, and shower-curb caps
  • Application: Floors and walls; interior commercial and residential installations
  • Coordinates with: Standard gray and white grout colors

Installation Tip: Trowel thinset over the substrate and embed the perforated flange of the profile under the tile field before setting the last row of tile. Press the tile firmly down so the bullnose return sits tight against the tile edge, then grout the joint between tile and profile as you would any standard grout line.

Finish Tip: The mill (raw aluminum) finish gives a natural brushed-silver look that coordinates with chrome and brushed-nickel hardware. Mill aluminum may oxidize slightly to a darker gray over time in damp environments - that patina is decorative, not a failure mode.
