Sculpted edges, effortlessly refined

RONDEC frames tile with a tailored, bullnose curve that softens corners and elevates surfaces with a quiet, architectural grace. The brushed nickel sheen catches light with subtle luster, turning transitions into polished details. Pair it with honed stone or glossy ceramic for a gallery-worthy finish around niches, tub decks, and counters. It’s that finishing stroke that makes everyday spaces feel distinctly luxurious.
