Commercial Product Overview Innovative installation systems for tile and stone

Floor Profiles Because ceramic and stone tiles are inherently brittle, their exposed edges can chip and crack if left unprotected. Transitions between floor surfaces and at thresholds are particularly vulnerable to damage. In addition, adjoining surfaces of different heights require a properly sloped transition to avoid trip hazards. Schluter®-Systems offers a variety of profiles to provide edge protection and transitions at thresholds and between adjacent surfaces, resulting in durable, maintenance-free, tiled coverings.

RENO-TK is designed to protect tile edges and provide a smooth transition from tile coverings to floor coverings at lower elevations, typically carpet. The 1/4" (6 mm) channel beneath the sloped flange of the profile hides and protects the cut edge of lower adjoining surface coverings. RENO-TK in anodized aluminum sizes 5/16" (8 mm) and larger feature an integrated joint spacer that establishes a defined joint cavity between the tile and the profile. RENO-RAMP is designed to protect tile edges and provide a smooth transition between tile coverings and floor coverings at lower elevations or finished...

Wall Profiles Ceramic and stone tiles are durable, hygienic, heat resistant, and easy to maintain, representing the ideal surface covering for walls in commercial/industrial applications. Schluter®-Systems offers various finishing and edge-protection profiles for walls, increasing design flexibility and ensuring a beautiful, durable installation.

ECK-E is a stainless steel profile for outside corners of tiled walls, that offers excellent edge protection against mechanical stresses in commercial/industrial applications. The profile produces a radiused edge along the outside wall corner for a clean, decorative finish. ECK-E is installed simultaneously with the tile. ECK-K Notes: • A retrofit profile ECK-K is available • This profile is bonded to existing installations RONDEC is a finishing and edge-protection profile for tiled edges and outside corners of tiled surfaces. The reveal of the profile forms a symmetrically rounded corner along...

INDEC is an anodized aluminum profile for outside corners of tiled surfaces and tiled edges. The reveal of the profile forms a square recessed groove for modern decorative design and interesting contrasts. Notes: • Matching 90-degree outside corners are available DECO-SG is a decorative profile available in anodized aluminum and brushed stainless steel, which features a 1/2" (12.5 mm) or 9/16" (15 mm) wide channel that creates a shadow gap between tile courses or other wall coverings. Notes: • The profile may also be used as a support channel for glass walls: • The 1/2" wide channel accommodates...

Stair-nosing Profiles Tiled stair edges that do not utilize appropriate trim pieces are vulnerable to chipping and breaking, and create a slip hazard, especially in exterior applications. Schluter® stair-nosing profiles protect exposed tile edges and improve safety on tiled stairways by providing slip-resistant wear surfaces and increased visibility in both residential and commercial applications. SCHIENE-STEP is a finishing and edging profile for ceramic tile and natural stone installations on stairs, countertops, and tile over tile applications on walls. The top of the profile features a vertical...

TREP-E/-EK is designed to protect tiled stair edges and provide an easily visible, slip-resistant wear surface for durable, safe, and visually appealing stair-nosing design. The profile is made of stainless steel with an integrated non-slip tread, making it suitable for interior and exterior use in areas subjected to heavy foot-traffic, such as offices or public buildings. Notes: • The exposed surface of TREP-E is: 1-3/16" (30 mm) • Matching end caps are available • A retrofit profile TREP-EK is available. This profile is bonded to existing installations • The exposed surface of TREP-EK is: 1-19/64"...

Movement Joint and Cove-shaped Profiles An installed ceramic tile floor is rigid by nature and similar in physical characteristics to a large sheet of glass. This is particularly true with today’s large-format tiles and narrow joint design. Stress buildup occurs within large surfaces and at perimeters, causing cracking and loosening of the tile covering. In addition, caulking is often used to create a movement zone. Unfortunately, caulking material has a limited lifespan and eventually breaks down, leaving the tiled edges exposed and vulnerable to damage. Expansion joints must be incorporated...

DILEX-KSN is a surface joint profile with stainless steel or aluminum anchoring legs that protect tile edges and a soft thermoplastic rubber movement zone that separates individual fields in the tile covering and forms the visible surface. The movement zone is available in different colors to match the grout and can be replaced if damaged. DILEX-KSN in stainless steel offers secure edge protection for surfaces exposed to heavy-duty commercial traffic (e.g., warehouses, production facilities, or shopping malls). Notes: • 7/16" (11 mm) wide, soft thermoplastic rubber movement zone DILEX-EDP is...

DILEX-KSA is a perimeter joint profile with a stainless steel or aluminum anchoring leg and soft thermoplastic rubber movement zone that isolates the tile covering from fixed building elements (e.g., window and door frames). The movement zone is available in different colors to match the grout and can be replaced if damaged. The profile also features a self-adhesive strip that allows it to bond to the fixed building elements. Notes: • 3/8" (10 mm) wide, soft thermoplastic rubber movement zone DILEX-EKE is a corner movement joint profile with rigid PVC anchoring legs and a soft CPE movement zone...

DILEX-AHK is a cove-shaped profile for inside wall corners, countertop/backsplash transitions and floor/wall transitions in applications where limited movement is expected. DILEX-AHK prevents surface water penetration and meets the maintenance and hygienic requirements of commercial kitchens, bathrooms, food processing plants, or any tiled environment where a sanitary cove base is desired. Notes: • 3/8" (10 mm) radius cove prevents the accumulation of dirt and makes cleaning simple • Matching inside and outside corners as well as end caps are available • DILEX-AHK is available in anodized aluminum...
