Product Description
Mexican Talavera quarter round tile trims finish exposed tile edges with a rounded profile and the character of handmade ceramic work. Crafted in Mexico from natural red terracotta clay, these pieces coordinate with patterned Talavera tiles and solid-colored layouts. Choose 4″ × 1″ or 6″ × 1″ trims to complement corresponding tile sizes. Eight color options include terra cotta, Mexican white, dark blue, light blue, cobalt, green, yellow, and brown. Use them along kitchen backsplashes, bathroom wall borders, tiled countertops, and concrete cabinetry edges for a softer transition between surfaces. Each trim carries slight variations in curvature and finish that reflect its handcrafted origin. Pricing is per linear foot, with delivery estimated at about eight weeks. Select your size, color, and required linear footage to complete your tile project.

Finish Details
The Mexican white finish creates a light border around colorful Talavera patterns, while blue, green, yellow, and brown options can repeat colors within the surrounding tilework. Terra cotta introduces a warm clay tone suited to rustic interiors. Choose a matching color for a continuous appearance or a contrasting shade to emphasize the edge of your installation. Glazed finishes highlight the curved profile with a glossy surface. Subtle differences in tone, glaze coverage, and curvature are expected because the trims are made individually by hand.

Design Versatility
These Mexican ceramic quarter round trims bring a finished outline to Spanish Colonial, hacienda, traditional, and rustic interiors. Mexican white can frame a colorful Talavera backsplash, while cobalt, green, or yellow can carry a decorative tile color around its perimeter. Terra cotta and brown coordinate with warm wood, clay, and earthy materials. Along tiled countertops and concrete cabinetry, the curved edge creates a softer transition. Bathroom wall borders also benefit from a rounded finish that defines the tilework without competing with its pattern.
Artisan Testimony
“Every curve we shape in these quarter rounds is about preserving tradition and protecting beauty. They’re small but essential.”
— Rafael Morales, Tile Trim Artisan
Ordering by Linear Foot
This product is priced per linear foot rather than per individual trim piece. Measure the combined length of the edges you plan to finish, then convert the total from inches to feet by dividing by 12. For example, an edge measuring 96 inches requires eight linear feet before allowing for cuts or breakage. Have your installer determine the additional quantity needed for corners, layout adjustments, and spare pieces.

Installation Planning
Measure exposed edges and plan the trim layout alongside the field tiles before installation. Account for grout joints, corner cuts, and additional material needed for cutting or breakage. Dry-lay several pieces to check their fit, curvature, and color distribution. For shower walls or other wet areas, have your installer confirm suitability and specify the appropriate substrate, waterproofing, setting materials, and grout.
Care & Maintenance
Clean glazed surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner suitable for ceramic tile. Avoid abrasive pads that could scratch the glossy finish. Follow the grout manufacturer’s cleaning instructions and test unfamiliar cleaners in an inconspicuous area before applying them across the installation.
