Finger Coves Are Now Available!
Ceramic and Porcelain cove base provides an easy to clean transition from floor to wall that prevents the collection of dirt or debris. Using finger cove tile trim from American Bullnose Company meets many requirements for sanitary type cove in commercial kitchens, bathrooms and hospitals. Cove base is made to match a very limited number of tiles; therefore choice has been very restricted. But now, using American Bullnose Company, finger cove tile trim is available for virtually every tile.

The Tile Trim Process
Hover over the buttons (below left) to show the steps of the tile trim manufacturing
process used by American Bullnose Company.
Step One
The customer sends us a tile that they would like matched. From this sample tile we can produce matching quarter round or finger cove tile. The sample tile must be at least as large as the finished tile trim piece. American Bullnose Company can match ceramic, porcelain (glazed or unglazed) or natural stone field tile.
Step Two
American Bullnose Company uses blank bisque tile (A-106) with a one-inch radius and six inch nominal length. For quarter round we use the convex side and for finger cove we use the concave side of the A-106.
Step Three
We digitally reproduce the colors of your field tile and apply the glazes to the tile trim. The trim piece is then kiln fired. Typically, we make several different reproductions of your tile resulting in multiple patterns on your tile trim.
Step Four
“The American Bullnose Company Tile Trim Process” results in a matching piece of tile trim. The trim tile is boxed and ready for pickup or shipment. Because of the lightweight of the tile trim, shipment by UPS is very affordable.
