[quote=TuVu]What are “bull nose corners” and why are they considered an improvement? I’m somewhat familiar with remodeling, but don’t know that term and am seeing it more and more. Sorry for being “duh.”[/quote]
TuVu,
It can mean a couple different things depending on what you are talking about. If it is the crown molding it means where there was a 90 degree corner it is clipped off with a piece that makes the turn into two 45 degree corners. The same thing applies with counter tops and baseboards. It is just a cosmetic thing. I have also seen it used to describe the metal edge that you put on the 90 degree corner when you are doing drywall. Although this is cosmetic, it gives you a really nice clean line after you mud the whole thing in and it makes it more difficult to ding the corner. Pretty much everyone uses them from what I have seen.
