Commercial Product Overview Innovative installation systems for tile and stone
Floor Profiles Because ceramic and stone tiles are inherently brittle, their exposed edges can chip and crack if left unprotected. Transitions between floor surfaces and at thresholds are particularly vulnerable to damage. In addition, adjoining surfaces of different heights require a properly sloped transition to avoid trip hazards.
RENO-TK is designed to protect tile edges and provide a smooth transition from tile coverings to floor coverings at lower elevations, typically carpet. The 1/4" (6 mm) channel beneath the sloped flange of the profile hides and protects the cut edge of lower adjoining surface coverings. RENO-TK in anodized aluminum sizes 5/16" (8 mm) and larger feature an integrated joint spacer that establishes a defined joint cavity between the tile and the profile.
Wall Profiles Ceramic and stone tiles are durable, hygienic, heat resistant, and easy to maintain, representing the ideal surface covering for walls in commercial/industrial applications. Schluter®-Systems offers various finishing and edge-protection profiles for 4 © Atlas Concorde walls, increasing design flexibility and ensuring a beautiful, durable installation.
ECK-E is a stainless steel profile for outside corners of tiled walls, that offers excellent edge protection against mechanical stresses in commercial/industrial applications. The profile produces a radiused edge along the outside wall corner for a clean, decorative finish. ECK-E is installed simultaneously with the tile. ECK-K Notes: • A retrofit profile ECK-K is available • This profile is bonded to existing installations • Available lengths: 4' 11" (1.5 m), 6' 7" (2 m), 8' 2-1/2" (2.
INDEC is an anodized aluminum profile for outside corners of tiled surfaces and tiled edges. The reveal of the profile forms a square recessed groove for modern decorative design and interesting contrasts. Notes: • Matching 90-degree outside corners are available DECO-SG is a decorative profile available in anodized aluminum and brushed stainless steel, which features a 1/2" (12.5 mm) or 9/16" (15 mm) wide channel that creates a shadow gap between tile courses or other wall coverings.
Stair-nosing Profiles Tiled stair edges that do not utilize appropriate trim pieces are vulnerable to chipping and breaking, and create a slip hazard, especially in exterior applications. Schluter® stair-nosing profiles protect exposed tile edges and improve safety on tiled stairways by providing slip-resistant wear surfaces and increased visibility in both residential and commercial applications.
TREP-E/-EK 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. The profiles are made of stainless steel with an integrated non-slip tread, making them suitable for interior and exterior use in areas subjected to heavy foot-traffic, such as offices or public buildings.
Movement Joint and Cove-shaped Profiles An installed ceramic tile floor is rigid by nature and similar in physical characteristics to a large sheet of glass. This is particularly true with today’s large-format tiles and narrow joint design. Stress buildup occurs within large surfaces and at perimeters, causing cracking and loosening of the tile covering. In addition, caulking is often used to create a movement zone.
DILEX-KSN is a surface joint profile with stainless steel or aluminum anchoring legs that protect tile edges and a soft thermoplastic rubber movement zone that separates individual fields in the tile covering and forms the visible surface. The movement zone is available in different colors to match the grout and can be replaced if damaged. DILEX-KSN in stainless steel offers secure edge protection for surfaces exposed to heavy-duty commercial traffic (e.g.
DILEX-KSA is a perimeter joint profile with a stainless steel or aluminum anchoring leg and soft thermoplastic rubber movement zone that isolates the tile covering from fixed building elements (e.g., window and door frames). The movement zone is available in different colors to match the grout and can be replaced if damaged. The profile also features a self-adhesive strip that allows it to bond to the fixed building elements.
DILEX-AHK is a cove-shaped profile for inside wall corners, countertop/backsplash transitions and floor/wall transitions in applications where limited movement is expected. DILEX-AHK prevents surface water penetration and meets the maintenance and hygienic requirements of commercial kitchens, bathrooms, food processing plants, or any tiled environment where a sanitary cove base is desired.
Profiles for Resilient Floor and Wall Coverings Luxury vinyl and other resilient flooring materials have improved and evolved into a whole new generation of vinyl floor coverings. Mimicking the natural looks of wood and stone, resilient flooring is durable and realistic in both finish and texture. Introducing Schluter®-VINPRO profiles for resilient coverings.
VINPRO-S is designed to provide a finished edge for resilient coverings (e.g., LVT) in applications that typically border carpet, floor coverings of similar heights, or as a finishing edge to wall skirting applications. The profile features a minimal and discreet reveal to enhance the coverings while offering transition and edge protection. Wall Floor VINPRO-T is designed to provide smooth and even transitions between same-height resilient floor coverings, (e.g., LVT).
VINPRO-RO is a finishing and edging profile for resilient covering (e.g., LVT) installations on stairs and outside wall corners of resilient surfaces. The reveal of the profile forms a symmetrically rounded corner along the surface edge. Wall Stair VINPRO-U is designed to provide a smooth transition between resilient floor coverings (e.g., LVT) and floor coverings at lower elevations. The sloped surface helps eliminate trip hazards while providing a discreet and minimal reveal.
Curbless Showers There is increasing demand for accessible living spaces. Tiled showers typically feature curbs to retain water in the stall, which can make entry difficult for those with limited mobility, including individuals who need the assistance of wheelchairs. Curbless tiled showers rely on the slope of the floor to keep water inside the stall, thus improving accessibility.
KERDI-DRAIN is a floor drain with an integrated bonding flange that provides a large contact area for a secure connection to the KERDI waterproofing membrane at the top of the assembly. KERDI-DRAIN is appropriate for both mortar bed and KERDISHOWER-T/-TS/-TT shower tray applications. KERDI-DRAIN features a fully adjustable grate and accommodates a wide range of tile thicknesses: 1/4" (6 mm) to 1-1/4" (32 mm). KERDI-DRAIN is listed by UPC®, CSA, and ICC-ES (Report No. PMG-1204).
KERDI-DRAIN Adaptor Kit 5-1/4" (133 mm) is used to convert traditional clamping ring drains to integrated bonding flange drains when removal of the clamping ring drain is not practical. A stainless steel adaptor ring with an overmolded rubber gasket replaces the clamping ring and is sealed to the existing drain body using KERDI-FIX. The bonding flange then slides into the adaptor ring and seals against the rubber gasket.
KERDI & KERDI-DS is a pliable sheet-applied polyethylene waterproofing membrane and vapor retarder that guarantees uniform thickness. It is covered with an anchoring fleece on both sides to anchor the membrane in thin-set mortar and is suitable for waterproofing in conjunction with tiled surfaces on walls and floors.
