One bracket embodiment for forming a tiled transition between a first surface and a second surface forming an inside corner includes a first base portion securable to the first surface, a second base portion securable to the second surface, a receiving slot angled with respect to the first and second surfaces for receiving a tile strip to form the tiled transition, and a channel for receiving a filler material adjacent to the receiving slot.
Claims27
A bracket for forming a tiled transition between a first surface and a second surface, the first and second surfaces forming an inside corner, comprising:
- a first base portion securable to the first surface;
- a second base portion securable to the second surface;
- a receiving slot angled with respect to the first and second surfaces for receiving a tile strip to form the tiled transition;
- and
- a channel adjacent to the receiving slot, the channel for receiving a filler material.
A tiled transition bracket connector, comprising:
- a first end sized to connect with an end of a first bracket having a tile receiving slot for forming a first tiled transition between a first surface and a second surface;
- and
- a second end sized to connect with an end of a second bracket having a tile receiving slot for forming a second tiled transition.
A tiled transition bracket system, comprising:
- a first bracket for forming a tiled transition between a first surface and a second surface, the first and second surfaces forming an inside corner, wherein the first bracket includes a tile receiving slot to receive a tile strip angled with respect to the first and second surfaces;
- and
- a bracket connector having a first end that includes a first connector portion sized to connect with an end of the first bracket and a second end that includes a second connector portion sized to connect with an end of a second bracket.
