INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR CERAMIC AND STONE TILE

FINISHING, EDGE PROTECTION, AND TRANSITIONS

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. Schluter-

Systems offers a variety of profiles to provide

edge protection and transitioning at thresholds

and between adjacent surfaces, resulting in

durable, maintenance-free tiled coverings. The

profiles can be grouped into two categories:

transitions between same-height surfaces and

transitions between different-height surfaces

Application and Function

Same-height Transitions

1.1 Schluter

-SCHIENE is designed to

provide edging for tile coverings. Typical

applications include edge protection where

tile is bordered by carpet, at expansion

joints, or as a decorative edging for stairs.

SCHIENE is available in stainless steel, solid

brass, aluminum, and anodized aluminum.

The profile features a trapezoid- perforated

anchoring leg, which is secured in the mortar

bond coat beneath the tile, and an 87°

sloped vertical wall section that transfers point

loads to the substrate and surface covering

while protecting tile edges from damage.

SCHIENE, in solid brass, aluminum, and

anodized aluminum, features a 5° sloped top

flange and fillet at the anchoring leg/vertical

section interface to enhance edge protection

by reducing stresses on the tile, and, in

sizes greater than 1/4" (6 mm), features an

integrated joint spacer that establishes a

defined joint cavity between the tile and the

profile. The anchoring leg of SCHIENE, in all

materials, is available with a special radius

perforation “R” so that the profile can be used

to form curves.

1.6 Schluter

-DECO is designed to provide

decorative lines within tile coverings and edge

protection at transitions from tile coverings to

other same-height surface coverings, such

as wood or carpet. The profile is available

in stainless steel, solid brass, chrome-plated

solid brass, and anodized aluminum. DECO

features a trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg,

which is secured in the mortar bond coat

beneath the tile, and a 1/4" (6 mm)-wide

visible surface that meets the high aesthetic

requirements of showrooms, lobbies, galleries,

exhibition booths, etc. The anchoring leg of

DECO, in solid brass, chrome-plated solid

brass, and anodized aluminum, is available

with a special radius perforation “R” so that

the profile can be used to form curves. DECO

in chrome-plated brass requires a relatively

large bending radius.

F L OOR PR OFILE S Material Properties and Areas of Application Schluter edge-protection and transition profiles are resistant to most chemicals encountered in tiled environments. In special cases, the suitability of a proposed type of profile must be verified based on the anticipated chemical, mechanical, and/or other stresses.

Then insert the vertical leg of RENO-T in the joint so that the lateral crosspiece rests completely on the edges of the surface coverings. 4. Remove any excess sealant with a suitable cleaner. Maintenance Schluter edge-protection and transition profiles require no special maintenance or care and are resistant to mold and fungi. Clean profiles periodically using neutral cleaning agents.
