        "text": "**Direct answer:** The best edge treatment depends on whether the backsplash ends at a wall, cabinet, window, appliance, or open area. Options may include finished tile edges, trim pieces, a planned return, or a clean transition to another surface.\n\n**Context:** An exposed raw tile edge can make a finished backsplash look incomplete, especially in open kitchens or at the end of a cabinet run. Edge details should be decided before tile is ordered because trim dimensions affect layout.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Identify every exposed side and top edge.\n- Match trim finish to cabinet hardware, appliances, or other metal details when appropriate.\n- Confirm how corners and window returns will be handled.\n\n**Practical guidance:** Mark stopping points on the elevation and request a sample of the proposed trim or edge finish. Do not assume the installer will choose an edge detail without approval.\n\n**Soft positioning:** Elite Remodeling & Design can resolve edge details during design development before installation begins.",
