To finish off the unglazed edges of field tiles, add bullnose-tile pieces (also called caps), which have one finished edge.
At an outside corner, use a corner-tile piece or a down-angle tile, which comes with two finished edges.
Bullnose tiles are supposed to have the same dimensions as the field tiles, but don't be surprised if you find they are slightly smaller.
Leave a bit more space between them to maintain straight grout lines (above). If you have square tiles, you can compensate for this variation in size by positioning the bullnose tiles so that their grout lines do not line up with those of the field tiles.
