What's the best Schluter edging (profile) for your bathroom?
Lots of options with tile, that's part of the game.🏈
What we are showing you here is what NOT to do.
This could have been done a lot cleaner (and safer) with the right choice of Schluter edging, otherwise known as profiles.
What we are seeing in our local area is SUPER SLOPPY WORK and the use of the wrong material for the application. 🤔
"Jolly" profiles are primarily meant for FLOORING applications.
In certain situations you CAN use them on walls, but in some situations they will cause NIGHTMARES.
This scenario, a 90 degree corner where two walls come together to form a point; where THREE tile edges need to be covered...in this scenario there is NO WAY to make "Jolly" profiles work, as Jason explains in the video.
🛑The solution to this problem, if you are only wanting to use Schluter edging (profiles) is to use a QUADEC or RONDEC profile. 🛑
These have CORNERS that you install WITH the profiles.
It makes a MUCH CLEANER LOOK. You can see an example of this at the end of our video and in the photo below:
That's the solution if you're using profiles...FOR WALL APPLICATIONS, use Schluter's QUADEC or RONDEC profiles. NOT JOLLY.
👍

I know someone will say it, so here is a little addition to this article:
“But Ben, what about bending your profiles?”
Yes, this is one way to still use Jolly profiles and accomplish the task safely and esthetically.
BUT…this is not going to be the best in a situation like a TILED KNEE WALL OR PONY WALL…
I still stand by Quadec or Rondec profiles as the BEST OPTION for you tiled bathroom walls.

If you've read my blog before you already know that I'm not a fan of bull nose. Stylistically dated, inconsistently manufactured, addition of unnecessary grout lines to name a couple inherent hindrances of this antiquated edging method.
In the past when we showed profiles many people would say that they didn't like the metal look of profiles. Well, Schluter has solved that opposition with their new TRENDLINE PROFILES (yes, you can click the link!) which are a series of colored profiles to match your tile. They come in Quadec, Jolly, and Rondec and they really are a more contemporary look for your shower. Not only that, they serve the same function as bull nose, but do it much better! Less grout lines for dirt to build on leading to a more sanitary space, better quality control coming from the factory leading to a better finished shower! Also, less expensive than bull nose! Who doesn't love that???
Ask your installer about using them on your next shower and add a detail that is sure to impress your neighbors.
