Ceramic cove base represents a neat, hygienic method for treating transitions at inside corners by

providing a curved surface that prevents the collection of dirt and is easy to clean. However, the

limited availability of ceramic trim pieces has resulted in the use of sealant and caulk to treat such

transitions. These joints must be continually maintained throughout the life of the installation. This

may include replacing the joints, which requires cutting the sealant out and possibly compromising

the waterproofing membrane.

Schluter

-Systems offers various cove-shaped profiles to address the need to finish inside

corners. These profiles can be used with any field tile to produce permanent, easy to clean, and

maintenance-free floor/wall transitions and inside wall corners.
