Shower – the term for a bathroom tile which wraps around a backerboard edge

showertile

I am tiling my shower, and (unfortunately I think) the hardy backer board is not flush with the regular sheetrock surrounding the tub. The board is 1/2" thick.

So, I need edge tile which wraps around the corner at a 90deg angle and down for 1/2". What is the term for this type of tile?

It is not bull-nose tile obviously; I just don't know the term to be able to search or ask.

One of these may work. You can search for corner tile to find other examples.
