STAIR-NOSING PROFILES
the stair covering if not installed within a
recessed area.
Maintenance
Schluter
®
stair-nosing profiles require no
special maintenance or care and are resistant
to mold and fungi. Clean profiles periodically
using pH neutral cleaning agents.
Stainless steel surfaces exposed to the
environment or aggressive substances
should be cleaned periodically using a pH
neutral cleaner. Regular cleaning maintains
the neat appearance of stainless steel and
reduces the risk of corrosion. All cleaning
agents must be free of hydrochloric acid,
hydrofluoric acid, and chlorides. Stainless
steel surfaces develop a sheen when treated
with a chrome-polishing agent.
Oxidation films on aluminum may be
removed with a conventional polishing
agent, but the film will form again.
In the case of anodized aluminum, do
not use abrasive or strong alkaline cleaning
agents.
The treads of TREP-SE/-S/-B/-G/-GK can
be replaced in case of damage or wear.
3. Adhere the profile by fully embedding
it into a suitable adhesive (e.g., epoxy
resin or KERDI-FIX, depending on
the substrate).
Note: The upper profile edge of TREP-EK
is approximately 3/32" (2.5 mm) higher
than the stair covering, while the upper
profile edge of TREP-GK is approximately
1/16" (1.5 mm) higher than the stair covering.
TREP-EFK
1. TREP-EFK may be adhered to a
recessed area in the stair tread or on
the surface of the tread.
2. Clean the stair tread and repair damaged
areas if applicable.
3. Clean or degrease the underside of the
profile.
4. Adhere the profile by fully embedding
it into a suitable adhesive (e.g., epoxy
resin or KERDI-FIX, depending on the
substrate).
Note: The upper profile edge of TREP-EFK
is approximately 3/32" (2 mm) higher than
6. Trowel additional thin-set mortar over the
anchoring leg and the stair tread surface
to ensure full coverage and support of the
tile edges.
7. Solidly embed the tread tiles so that the
tiled surface is flush with the top of the
profile.
8. A joint of approx. 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 -
3 mm) should be left between the tile
and the profile.
9. Fill joint completely with grout or
setting material.
Notes: When using TREP-TAP, apply
Schluter
®
-KERDI-FIX or similar adhesive to
the riser and insert the cover profile in
the support section of TREP-S/-B prior to
installing the stair-nosing profile. TREP-TAP
should not be used where it can extend past
the bottom of the riser.
TREP-EK and TREP-GK
1. Clean the stair nosings and repair
damaged areas if applicable.
2. Clean or degrease the underside of
the profile.
