What's Up With That? Unfortunate Tile Trim 19

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

The picture below was taken at a hospital in Colorado. You can see after only a couple of years the "stainless steel" metal trim on these stairs has rusted. What's up with that?

This regrettable result could have been prevented had the customer used a custom stair tread 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?"
