Installation Guide
Profiles
Schluter
®
 profiles are available in a wide range of materials and finishes such as stainless steel, anodized aluminum, brass, and colored PVC to produce a variety 
of looks, including bold contrasts, discreet color matches to the grout, and complements to plumbing fixtures.
Inside Corners
DILEX cove-shaped profiles can be used with any field tile to produce 
permanent, easy to clean, and maintenance-free floor/wall transitions and 
inside wall corners.
Outside Corners and Tile Edges
Exposed tile edges are unsightly and prone to chipping. The QUADEC 
square-shaped profile and RONDEC rounded profile protect and finish tile 
edges for visually appealing and long-lasting results. Edging profiles eliminate 
the need for special ceramic trim pieces, so you can select virtually any tile 
in the showroom.
Shelves
Shelves are very popular features in showers and bathtub surrounds for both practical and design purposes. Schluter
®
-SHELF is a wall storage system featuring 
designs that coordinate with the Curve and Floral styles found in KERDI-DRAIN and KERDI-LINE drain grates.
The Schluter
®
-Shower System provides proper moisture management to protect surrounding building materials and reduce the potential for efflorescence 
and mold growth in the system. Once the system is installed the timeless beauty of ceramic and stone tiles can bring a relaxing spa feeling home. Schluter

shelves and profiles provide elegant solutions to finish the tile application.
