The perfect trim piece can make a tile job look fantastic. There are many different types of trim and they have several different names. Trimming out a border, capping off a wainscotting or finishing a wall with crown can all be accomplished with the right trim piece. Available in stone, glass, ceramic, porcelain and sometimes in metal, it should not be difficult to find a trim to coordinate with your needs.
There are four basic types of trim moulding and thousands of variations of each. The most popular is the pencil trim. A simple rounded piece that slightly protrudes is commonly used for framing borders, focal points and sometimes acts as the top of wainscotting. Its simple shape tends to make it less costly and fit with most decors. Next is the chair rail. A chair rail is used for, as its name implies, the top of wainscotting. However, a chair rail may also be used alone or in conjunction with the pencil in framing decorative tile as well. The last two pieces are the base and crown moulding. These pieces are key elements in achieving a high-end tiled wall. The base, used at the bottom of a wall, differentiates the wall and floor tiles. The crown, a more elaborate version of the chair rail, sits at the top of a wall next tto the ceiling. The crown is usually much larger than the chair rail so it has visual weight on a tall wall. Occasionally crown act as chair rail as well.
