Trims & Liners

Shop trims and liners to finish exposed tile edges, outside corners, backsplash ends, shower niches, wainscoting, borders, and transitions. The right trim makes an installation look intentional: clean lines, finished edges, crisp terminations, and no unfinished tile sides.

This collection includes tile edge and finishing pieces such as pencils, liners, chair rails, bullnose pieces, jolly-style trims, quarter rounds, baseboards, and coordinating stone or ceramic trims where available. Use filters to narrow by material, color, finish, size, and coordinating collection.

Where trims are used

• Outside corners: clean, protected edges where tile turns a corner
• Backsplash ends: a finished termination at cabinets, open walls, and range areas
• Shower niches: crisp framing around recessed shelves and wet-area details
• Shower walls: exposed vertical edges, curb returns, and transition points where suitable
• Wainscoting: decorative caps, chair rails, and liners for wall tile panels
• Borders and accents: separation between tile fields, mosaics, and feature areas
• Floor and wall transitions: between tile fields, materials, or wall zones where appropriate

Common trim and liner types

• Pencil liners: slim decorative pieces for borders, transitions, and framed panels
• Bullnose pieces: rounded-edge trims for exposed tile edges where available
• Chair rails: raised decorative trims often used for wainscoting, bathroom walls, and classic stone installations
• Quarter rounds: rounded trims for corners, edges, and traditional detail work
• Jolly-style trims: narrow finishing pieces for clean modern edges
• Baseboards: taller finishing pieces for wall-to-floor transitions where available
• Coordinating liners: accent strips that help connect field tile, mosaics, and border details

How to choose trims and liners

• Match the material: use marble trims with marble tile, ceramic trims with ceramic wall tile, and coordinating pieces where available.
• Match the finish: honed trims usually pair best with honed tile, while polished trims pair best with polished tile.
• Plan exposed edges early: backsplashes, niches, outside corners, and open wall ends should be reviewed before installation.
• Use decorative trims intentionally: chair rails, pencils, and liners can add structure without overwhelming the tile field.
• Confirm dimensions: trim thickness, tile thickness, and edge conditions should be checked with your installer before ordering.

Design notes for finished edges

• Modern installations often use slim trims or clean terminations for a minimal look.
• Classic bathrooms may benefit from pencil liners, chair rails, baseboards, or stone moldings.
• Backsplashes need a clear plan for where the tile starts and stops.
• Shower niches should be planned before tile is installed so the trim, field tile, and mosaic details align properly.
• Natural stone trims can vary in tone and veining, so samples are recommended when matching stone tile.

Order samples before your project

Trim pieces can vary in tone, finish, thickness, profile, and how they coordinate with field tile or mosaics. Samples help you compare color, finish, profile, and scale before ordering full project quantities.
