Typically bullnose is found on the edge of counter tops, backsplashes, around the outside edges and curbing of a shower, stairs and baseboard. The tile industry sometimes refers to bullnose as batiscopa.   </p> <p style="text-align: justify"><a href="#top"><font size="2">Back to Top</font></a></p> <hr align="justify" color="#000080"> <h5 style="text-align: justify"><b><a name="Why does it take three days to complete a glazed bullnose order"> <font size="3" face="Verdana">Why does it take three days to complete a glazed bullnose order?</font></a></b></h5> <p style="text-align: justify">The steps mandatory in producing glazed bullnose are as follows:</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Day 1:    Cut and bullnose your field tile to your specification. Since we use machines that require water, the bullnose must dry overnight.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Day 2:    Glaze and load your bullnose in the kilns for firing. A kiln firing cycle is 24 hours.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Day 3:    Unload your bullnose from the kilns and box for shipping.         </p> <h5 style="text-align: justify"><a href="#top">Back to Top</a></h5> <hr align="justify" color="#000080"> <h3 style="text-align: justify"> <b> <a name="Why cant I order a factory edge bullnose with a width of less than 3 1/2 inches without an up charge"> <font size="3" face="Verdana">Why can't I order a factory edge bullnose with a width of less than 3 1/2 inches without an up charge?</font></a></b></h3> <p style="text-align: justify"> The machine American Bullnose Company™ uses to fabricate bullnose is restricted to pieces with a width of 3 1/2 inches or more.
