   Ceramic tile trims and profiles are specialized edging or transitional pieces that are used in conjunction with ceramic tiles. They serve several purposes: Edge protection: Profiles protect the edges of tiles from chipping and wear. Transition: They provide a smooth transition between different surface materials or tile heights.

3. Heat shield - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_shield

   The heat shield on the space shuttle consisted of ceramic or composite tiles over most of the vehicle surface, with reinforced carbon-carbon material on the highest heat load points (the nose and wing leading edges). [15] This protected the orbiter when it reached a temperature of 1,648 degrees Celsius during reentry. [16]

4. LI-900 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LI-900

   Black tiles (known as high temperature reusable surface insulation or HRSI [3]) are optimized for maximum emissivity, which means they lose heat faster than white tiles. This property is required in order to maximise heat rejection during re-entry. There are typically 20,000 HRSI LI-900 tiles on a Space Shuttle, and 725 LRSI LI-900 tiles.

5. Flashing (weatherproofing) - Wikipedia

   Shaped like a “U” or channel to catch water (e.g., where the edge of a tile roof meets a wall). Through wall flashing Spans the thickness of the wall and directs water to weep holes. Cap flashing (drip cap) Often used above windows and doors. Drip edge A metal used at the edges of a roof. Step flashing (soaker, base flashing)

   Thermal protection system for orbiter 103 and subsequent orbiters Endeavour in the California Science Center museum, showing tiles near door. The TPS covered essentially the entire orbiter surface, and consisted of seven different materials in varying locations based on amount of required heat protection:
