Bullnose Stone Trim
A bullnose has a rounded edge. It caps tile where a wall ends, along a shower niche or at the top of a backsplash, so no raw edge shows. Shop bullnose liner trim in stones like Ivory travertine, Walnut travertine and Bianco Dolomite.
Pencil Liner Trim
Pencil liner is a slim, rounded strip. Use it as a thin accent line or a neat border around a mosaic or field tile. See pencil liner trim for marble, dolomite and travertine, including Noce travertine.
Chair Rail and Molding
Chair rail runs along a wall at mid-height and adds classic character, especially in bathrooms. We carry single-step and double-step styles. Browse chair rail moldings. Crown and specialty pieces, such as Milano and corner-ogee profiles, are in crown and specialty moldings. Add depth to a fireplace or bathroom.
Marble Baseboard and Stone Baseboard
Stone baseboard gives floors a clean, finished edge in matching marble or travertine. Shop baseboard trim and marble baseboards and moldings, then pair with marble floor tile or travertine floor tile.
Travertine Pool Coping: Ivory and Silver
Ivory travertine pool coping and ivory travertine coping give a pool a warm, sandy edge, while silver travertine coping, from our Silver Pewter Blend travertine, is cooler and grayer. Both colors suit the same travertine pavers and pool coping collection. Read about ivory travertine, confirm what is in stock in the collection, and order samples before you commit to a color.
Quarter-Round, Ledger-Panel and Corner Trim
Quarter-round and corner-ogee pieces turn corners neatly. Ledger-panel is a stacked-stone look for feature walls. These are available in selected travertine and onyx lines. Find them in travertine trim moldings and Antico Onyx.
Pool Coping and Outdoor Edges
Pool coping is the stone edge around a pool or spa. It needs a stone that handles weather and wet feet, and it is usually thicker than wall tile. See travertine pavers and pool coping and pool and spa tile, or outdoor stone.
