bullnose
Rounded stair tread
Bullnose describes a rounded or convex edge, typically on architectural elements, furniture, or construction materials.
A bullnose tile has one edge curved instead of squared off, making it ideal for finishing corners or stair treads.
Bullnose molding or trim similarly features a rounded profile.
The term evokes the blunt, rounded shape of a bull's nose.
As a verb, to bullnose something is to give it this characteristic rounded edge.
