Technical terms for tile terminations

Can anyone give me the Spanish names for edge tiles called a) mud edge and b) bull nose. We're ordering tiles by fax and phone from Dolores Hidalgo - it's much easier when you are face to face and there are samples to hand! Thanks.

Bullnose pieces are always more expensive. I think you are better off just grouting that joint to round rather than buying bullnose. Mexicans have the skills and products to make the round edge without the big expense of using bullnose or other very expensive tile pieces. Same goes for corners both inside and out.

Thanks Esteban - we've already bought bullnoses from them in the past but the copy of the order we have is impossible to read - the price wasn't that bad, less than a whole tile and I prefer the finished edge. Grout edges have a nasty habit of chipping away.

All I really want is the names for these pieces - in the meantime we've done nice little drawings of the pieces needed and will fax the order off and hope for the best.
