Standard Edges are chamfered, meaning there is a very slight bevel (approximately 1/16"-1/32").
Saw Cut/Straight Cut edges are exactly as described, sharp to the touch with no processing.
Tumbled edges are soft and rounded from the tumbling process, but not in a perfectly linear manner.
Tumbled Edges are processed to provide an antiqued look. The tumbling process typically creates a rounded edge, somewhat uneven, but soft as opposed to a hand-chiseled edge.
Chiseled Edges, typically on honed or tumbled limestone and travertine tiles, are hand chiseled ¼" to ½" from the edge of the tile to create a more "antique" look. There is some roughness to this edge, which is the intended effect.
Pillowed Edges are processed with a gentle and distinct radius that will vary in size, but typically will be ¼" to ½" from the edge of the stone. |
