American Bullnose Goes Green (Part 5)

12/2/2015

0 Comments

 
​You may have seen a trend in the past year. Every few weeks there's another story about how American Bullnose is "Going Green." It is continuing this week in California again. We have installed a water recycling system that cleans and re-uses the water that's used in our cutting and bullnosing operations.
Picture
Water Recycling System in American Bullnose of California

Cutting our water use is a vital civic duty given the ongoing drought in California, but the system installed also removes the dirt that builds up in that water keeping it out of the city sewers. That dirt or mud is non-toxic, is automatically contained in recycled plastic bags and can now more easily be dried and disposed of. What's more this system eliminates the difficult, filthy and exhausting job of digging that mud out of our machines every week, and that is something our employees are very excited about. Lastly it leaves your newly bullnosed tile clean and ready to install.

Just one more way American Bullnose is trying to be better for you, better for our employees and better for the environment.

What's Up With That? Unfortunate Tile Trim 12

8/27/2014

 
This is the continuation of a series of posts that will highlight some truly unfortunate tile trim installations.

The pictures below were taken throughout the country and feature tile trim without a bullnosed edge. It amazes me that people spend all kinds of money on tile job yet decide not to complete the job with appropriate trim. What's up with that? 
All of these awkward looking installation could have been avoided had the customer used a custom bullnose manufacturer (like American Bullnose Company) where the kiln fired glazes can be custom matched to the field tile.

If you run across any unfortunate tile trim, snap a picture and email it to us with info about where and when the picture was taken and what made you ask yourself, "what's up with that?"

What's Up With That? Unfortunate Tile Trim 11

This is the continuation of a series of posts that will highlight some truly unfortunate tile trim installations.

This one is really going to give Jim Stevenson the "heebie-jeebies". The picture below was taken in the bathroom of my hotel room in Northern California. The highlights of this peculiar installation are the use of grout and plastic molding to trim the tile. What's up with that?

This is the continuation of a series of posts that will highlight some truly unfortunate tile trim installations.

The pictures below were taken in a brand new hotel in Saint Louis, MO. I found three different tiles in the hotel with five different bullnose edge finishes. What's up with that?

What's Up With That? Unfortunate Tile Trim 8

7/23/2014

 
This is the continuation of a  series of posts that will highlight some truly unfortunate tile trim installations.

The picture below was taken in a restroom in a fine dining establishment. If you can ignore the questionable color scheme and focus your attention on the unnecessary double stack base board  . What's up with that?
Double Stack Bullnose
A custom bullnose manufacturer (like American Bullnose Company) can produce baseboard bullnose tile at any height so a bazaar double stack installation like the one above can be avoided.

If you run across any unfortunate tile trim, snap a picture and email it to us with info about where and when the picture was taken and what made you ask yourself, "what's up with that?"
