If you prefer not to use Schluter, you can finish your tile edge using alternatives like: Pencil Tile: A slim, decorative trim that adds elegance and refinement to your edges. Bullnose Tile: A rounded, continuous edge that can complement your tilework. Ceramic or Stone Trims: Decorative trims made from materials like ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone, which can offer varying levels of edge protection and design versatility. Grout: In some cases, you can use grout to create a clean edge for your tiles, although this may not provide the same level of protection and durability as other options.
