-TREP-EFK is a retrofit

stainless steel stair profile which is bonded

to existing steps. The stair profile features

an easily visible, slip-resistant wear surface

for durable and safe stairs. The profile is

suitable for interior and exterior use in areas

subjected to heavy foot traffic, such as

offices or public buildings.

The profile is typically adhered within a

recessed area on stair treads covered with

natural stone or constructed of concrete.

It may also be applied to the surface of

existing stair treads covered with ceramic

or porcelain tile.

3.5 Schluter

-TREP-G 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 attractive and durable stainless steel

with a special slip-resistant tread, making

it particularly suited for areas subjected

to heavy foot traffic, such as offices or

public buildings. The surface features a

self-adhesive, slip-resistant tread with an

embedded mineral grain coating. The

treads are available in a variety of colors

and can be replaced in case of damage

or wear. The profile can be integrated

into stairs covered with ceramic tile or

natural stone, as well as into a screed or

surface coating. Schluter

-TREP-GK is

a variant of the profile without an anchoring

leg. TREP-GK is adhered to existing steps,

e.g., for retrofitting over damaged edges,

eliminating the need to replace the entire step.

TREP-G is available in 1-3/16" (30 mm) and

2-5/32" (55 mm) widths, while TREP-GK is

available in 1-11/32" (34 mm) and 2-21/64"

(59 mm) widths. Matching end caps are

available.

length. The anodized aluminum version is

intended for residential stair applications

(stairs not exposed to heavy traffic). It

is available in two vertical leg lengths,

1-3/16" (30 mm) and 1-1/2" (39 mm),

to cover the edge of the sub-assembly.

The integrated joint spacer establishes a

defined joint cavity between the tile and the

profile. Accessories are not available for the

anodized aluminum version.

by improving the visibility of the stair edges.

The profile is available in stainless steel or

anodized aluminum. TREP-FL is suitable

for residential applications, e.g., stairs not

exposed to heavy traffic. Matching end

caps are available.

Commercial Applications

3.2 Schluter

-TREP-SE/-S/-B are

designed to protect tiled stair edges and

provide an easily visible, slip-resistant

wear surface for durable, safe, and visually

appealing stair-nosing design. They are

suitable for use in areas subjected to

heavy foot-traffic, such as offices or public

buildings. The profiles feature a trapezoid-

perforated anchoring leg made of stainless

steel (TREP-SE) or aluminum (TREP-S and

TREP-B), which is secured in the mortar

bond coat beneath the tile and supports

a slip-resistant thermoplastic rubber wear

surface. The tread surface of TREP-SE/-

S/-B is available in a variety of colors and

can be replaced in case of damage or

wear. TREP-B features a 2-1/8" (52 mm)-

wide wear surface, allowing the designer to

easily produce stairs with the first and last

steps marked by a 2" (50 mm)-wide strip

in a contrasting color to increase visibility

and safety. The leading edges of TREP-

S/-SE/-B have a 5/16" (8 mm) radius.

Matching end caps are available.

3.1 Schluter

-TREP-TAP is an anodized

aluminum cover profile that integrates with

the TREP-S/-B stair-nosing profiles to

conceal the top of the riser. Two options

are available: a 2-13/32" (61 mm) version

featuring a horizontal grooves, and a 2"

(50 mm) version features a smooth surface

finish.

3.3 Schluter

-TREP-E 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 attractive and durable stainless steel,

making it particularly suited for areas sub-

jected to heavy foot traffic, such as offices

or public buildings. The profile can be

integrated into stairs covered with ceramic

tile or natural stone, as well as into a screed

or a surface coating that is a minimum 3/32"

(2 mm) thick via the trapezoid-perforated

anchoring leg. When integrated into

screed layers, the anchoring leg of the

profile must be covered with at least 9/16"

(15 mm) of mortar. Schluter

-TREP-

EK is a variant without an anchoring leg.

TREP-EK is adhered to existing steps,

e.g., for retrofitting over damaged edges,

eliminating the need to replace the entire

step. Matching end caps are available.
