Torelo

English translation: (L-shaped) nosing

Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Porcelain stoneware tiles
Spanish term or phrase: Torelo
Evening! Any help here would be much appreciated.

The whole phrase is: Peldaño torelo angular con hendiduras

After much research, I believe "peldaño" is "stair tread" / angular is "corner" (cornerpiece?) / "hendiduras" is "grooves" (?)... so it's a tile with a rounded edge that goes on stairs or counters for the edge tile.

Corner "TORELO" stair tread tile with grooves

I cannot find it anywhere. UK English.
Thank you! Mary

Nosing: what is nosing?
Nosing is the front of the tread which protrudes beyond the riser. Because this is where most of the foot traffic occurs, anti-slip strips may be applied to the nosing at the edge of the tread to make navigating the stairs easier.

¿Qué es un torelo?
El torelo, también llamado mamperlán, es una pieza fabricada en pasta porcelánica de baja absorción con la que se guarnece el borde de los peldaños.

En otras palabras, el objetivo de este accesorio es mejorar la estética de nuestra escalera. En la actualidad, los interioristas profesionales los utilizan, sobre todo, en casas con una decoración rústica, clásica y contemporánea.

  -> Because the original is 'torelo angular', though it isn't included in the question. Thank you confirming that it's the right term :-)
