WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? UNFORTUNATE TILE TRIM 18

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

This picture was taken in the restroom at a fast food restaurant in Castle Rock, Colorado. There are three things about this bullnose that is disappointing

1. The dye lot of the bullnose and the field tile are different. Notice how the lines in the bullnose are bolder that the field tile.
2. The edge of the bullnose has not been glazed and re-fired (raw bisque).
3. The pattern on the bullnose tile runs vertically and the pattern on the field tile runs​ horizontally. 

What's up with that?

All three issues of the this hot mess of an installation could have been avoided had the customer used a custom bullnose manufacturer (like American Bullnose Company).

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?"
