Tile edgings

Rounded end profiles and accessories

Whereas ceramic surfaces used to be applied somewhat inconspicuously, now they are used as a designer feature in rooms. New plumbing and front-wall installations offer design options with tiled shelves, corners, and dividing walls.
Depending on personal taste, rounded end profiles can be added to give a harmonious or contrasting look to a room’s coloring and styling.

When two tiled surfaces come together at 90°, you get an unattractive corner as shown here in the picture. The unglazed tile edge is visible.

To obtain an attractive looking and mechanically protected tile corner, you should add a tile edging profile to it.

The quarter round profile is suitable for external corners on tiled floors and provides effective protection for tile edges.

Aluminium, uncoated, with alfer®-fix universal hole pattern
Tile edgings in uncoated aluminium are the cost-effective alternative to anodized or powder-coated aluminium. Users also have the choice of varnishing these profiles themselves.

Aluminium, anodized, with alfer®-fix universal hole pattern
Tile edgings in anodized aluminium have a special finish, which does not show signs of alteration even when exposed to damp. Tile adhesive and jointing compound can tarnish the surface, which is why visible areas should be cleaned after installation.

Aluminium, powder-coated, with alfer®-fix universal hole pattern
Tile edgings in powder-coated aluminium are available in various colors and can therefore be matched to the color of the tiles. The coating adheres very well and is resistant to impact.

Brass, solid and solid polished, with alfer®-fix universal hole pattern
Tile edgings made of solid brass are suited to high mechanical loads and are resistant to most chemicals. A coat of oxide (patina) develops due to its reaction with the air. If this is not wanted, it can be removed with polishes.

Stainless steel V2A, with alfer®-fix universal hole pattern
Tile edgings in stainless steel are suited to high mechanical loads and are resistant to most chemicals. They are often used in the food industry, hospitals, and swimming baths, etc.

Plastic (hard PVC), with alfer®-fix universal hole pattern
Plastic tile edgings are the cheapest version and are suited to normal mechanical loads. Damp conditions no longer affect their finish and they are resistant to various chemicals.

Plastic (hard PVC), hot-embossed, with alfer®-fix universal hole pattern
Plastic tile edgings are the cheapest version and are suited to normal mechanical loads. Damp conditions no longer affect their finish and they are resistant to various chemicals.

Accessories

Tile corner for rounded end profiles, plastic (ABS)
Using the plastic tile corners, it is possible to create a clean, attractive-looking, and uniform external corner with two or three rounded end profiles meeting at right angles. The profiles do not need miter cuts.

User tips

As the rounded end profile is asymmetrical, either a steep or flat rounded section is produced depending on how the fitting section is laid. This allows for interesting options in terms of looks.

The profiles with alfer®-fix universal hole pattern have a special perforation system with the largest possible perforations to allow the adhesive or mortar to penetrate for an optimum contact area between tile and substrate, furthermore with round and long perforations. You can use these to nail or screw the profile on, e.g. for pre-fixing in the wall area. This will make the later work stages easier.
