What Are Bullnose Tiles?

Bullnose tiles refer to tiles with a round edge. The material, the shape or the thickness vary depending on the use. TFO stocks travertine and other natural stone bullnose edge tiles in a variety of sizes and thicknesses.

Use

Bullnose tiles are a perfect pool coping material. If an inground swimming pool is constructed of concrete, coping is necessary as it covers the bond beam and conceals the steel projecting from the pool’s walls. It also prevents the water from getting behind the pool’s walls. The bullnose coping should be slightly tilted away from the pool so that the water on the coping may drain away from the pool.

Travertine Bullnose

It is one of the most popular materials for outdoors which is available in both tile and paver styles. Travertine is a very enduring material as testified by Roman architecture that has withstood the test of times for thousands of years. The warm and rustic characteristics of travertine are truly unique and unmatched by other natural stone materials.

Travertine is full of natural textures which provide grip even when wet. The light colour and its porosity also mean that travertine stays cool even on a sweltering day in summer when you are making the most of your swimming pool. For these reasons, travertine bullnose tiles are the best choice for your pool edging, especially if you are using travertine pavers or tiles for the rest of your outdoor area.

TFO directly imports travertine as well as pavers from some of the most reputable quarries in Turkey are made available at Sydney’s lowest prices. Buy bullnose tiles online now or come visit our store for the full range of natural stone bullnose tiles.
