What's Up With That? Unfortunate Tile Trim 16

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 hotel in Albuquerque and highlight what happens to plastic/metal tile trim several years after installation.  What's up with that? 

This regrettable 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?"
