Installation Guide

Installation
SCHIENE, DECO, RENO-TK, RENO-U,
RENO-RAMP, and RENO-V
1. Select the profile according to tile thickness
and format.
Note: When using Schluter® uncoupling
membranes with RENO-U and RENORAMP
profiles, factor in the thickness of
the membrane over the anchoring leg
when selecting the profile height.
2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set
mortar to the area where the profile is to
be placed.
For RENO-U and RENO-RAMP, fill the
cavity beneath the sloped section of the
profile with thin-set mortar. Follow this
step when RENO-V is used in heavy-duty
applications, as well.
3. Press the perforated anchoring leg of the
profile into the mortar and align.
4. Trowel additional thin-set mortar over
the perforated anchoring leg to ensure
full coverage and support of the
tile edges.
5. Solidly embed the tiles so that the tiled
surface is flush with the top of the profile;
the profile should not be higher than the
tiled surface, but rather up to approx.
1/32" (1 mm) lower.
6. Set the tile to the integrated joint
spacer, which ensures a uniform joint
of 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 - 3 mm). For DECO
and stainless steel profiles, leave a space
of approximately 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 - 3
mm).
7. Fill the joint completely with grout or
setting material.
8. Remove grout or mortar residue from the
visible surface of the profile.
RENO-RAMP-K
1. Fill the cavity beneath the sloped section
of the profile with thin-set mortar.
2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set
mortar to the area where the profile is to
be placed.
3. Press the profile into the mortar and abut
to the adjacent floor covering. The profile
should not be higher than the adjacent
floor covering, but rather up to approx.
1/32" (1 mm) lower.
4. Fill the joint completely with grout or
setting material.
5. Work with materials and tools that will not
scratch or damage sensitive surfaces.
Setting materials must be removed
immediately.
RENO-T
1. Select the profile according to joint width,
to ensure proper support of the lateral
crosspiece.
2. The joint cavity must be at least 3/8"
(9 mm) deep and free of debris.
Substances that inhibit adhesion must be
removed from the sides of the joint.
3. Fill the joint with elastomeric sealant such
as Schluter®-KERDI-FIX or similar. Then
insert the vertical leg of RENO-T in the
joint so that the lateral crosspiece rests
completely on the edges of the surface
coverings.
4. Remove any excess sealant with a suitable
cleaner.
