What is the metal trim around tile called?
1. Stainless steel tile edge trims:
Stainless steel edging trims are a kind of edge material for the corners of wall tiles. They are commonly used in humid or water-splashed places such as kitchens and bathrooms. They are waterproof and mildew-proof. The surface of stainless steel edging strips is usually bright gold, bright silver, bright black, bright rose gold, brushed gold, brushed silver, brushed black, brushed rose gold and other colors, and generally has round, square, L-shaped, V-shaped shapes , not only can reflect the modern and simple style, but also has strong aesthetics and practicality.
Aluminum tile edge trims
Aluminum tile edge trims are made of aluminum. Compared with stainless steel edging strips, aluminum alloy edging strips are lighter and relatively cheaper. They are also corrosion-resistant and durable and are suitable for use on large areas of building walls. , can make the surface look neat and comfortable, and increase the aesthetics and air circulation of the wall.
Brass tile edge trims
Brass has very high durability and corrosion resistance. Brass tile edge trims can withstand the test of time and environment and is not prone to rust and corrosion. Compared with other decorative materials, copper strip decoration has a longer service life, reducing the need for replacement and repair, thereby reducing resource consumption and waste. Moreover, brass has an innate sense of high-end and is compatible with the two contradictory attributes of retro and fashion, which will enhance the high-end of the entire decoration style. The disadvantage is that the price is too expensive and the decoration cost will be high.
PVC tile edge trims
The advantages of PVC tile edge trims are that they are cheap and easy to use. PVC material is waterproof, moisture-proof, mildew-proof and corrosion-resistant, and is suitable for wall corner treatment. However, PVC materials are less durable than metal materials. They tend to become soft or brittle due to weather effects, are easily damaged, and have a relatively short service life.
Marble and plastic tile edge trims
Marble and plastic tile edge trims is a new type of floor decoration material that is more popular now. It has good wear resistance, and its lifespan is determined by the thickness of its wear-resistant layer. The thickness is 0.55 mm and the service life is more than five years; the thickness is 0.7 mm and the service life is more than ten years. Therefore, the thicker the wear-resistant layer of the stone plastic sun corner line, the longer the service life. However, it is somewhat similar to the marble material. The joints cannot be seamlessly understood, so it has some impact on the integrity. It is not soft enough. Although it is not flammable, it easily leaves traces and is difficult to remove.
In short, when choosing edging material, we should consider factors such as usage scenarios, cost, appearance, and service life, and comprehensively select the edging that best suits us to meet the aesthetics and waterproof requirements.
