This was a severely tight budget job as well, and the Schluter was the most cost effective treatment. The pattern of the tile was such that there really was no other option. With metal carts being rolled around in this deli and all the traffic this place received, it needed a super durable corner. I did use it once in this situation, as this was a commercial installation and I felt I needed the metal edge for durability. Also, I prefer to keep the focus on the tile, and I really don’t like the introduction of the metal look unless it is for some reason an integral part of the design. I guess I’ve seen so many sloppy installs in builder grade homes that it turned me off to it years ago. I might use the white version if I had to, with a white tile, hoping it would blend in and go away visually, but I just feel it often looks too abrupt or just not well thought out. I rarely use Schluter trim to finish off tile, although many designers do. Shower tile edge detail #4 - Schluter Trim
When I use a slab material on the wall, then I have almost always used it on top of the shower curb, so that the opening is all encompassed in the slab material, like in this primary bath shower, below. We usually have left over material, so getting these extra smaller, long cuts are not a problem. I typically use this as a bench seat too or even at the shampoo niche. I use the slab material that we are using on the countertops in the space, so it coordinates nicely and ties in with the material used elsewhere in the room. It presents such a neat and tidy look, provides a slight inside corner for the tile to die into, and is easy to maintain, long term. I absolutely love to use a slab material as a transition when I can.
