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

It may also be applied to the surface of

existing stair treads covered with ceramic or

porcelain tile.

-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

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.

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.

-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.
