    If using 4 1/4'' tile, u can use a capping tile of the same color. This tile has a finished edge and curls down.

    If using a larger tile, there are a variety of accent caps made. U will have to go to a ceramic tile store to see these.

    Good luck

    Hi all...

    All kinds of finishing options for ceramic/porcelain tile... see images.

    Like, Chuck said, you can certainly purchase BULLNOSE tiles with finished/rounded edges.

    You could also purchase some metal or plastic tile trim corners... tiles butt up to the plastic and the plastic/metal provides the finished edges.

    You could also purchase bullnose trim tile or tile caps... lots and lots of options!

    All available at home depot or any tile store... :)
