Starting at 14.44$ Starting at 13.00$

Schluter-SCHIENE is designed to provide edging for tile coverings. Typical applications include edge protection where tile is bordered by carpet, at expansion joints, or as a decorative edging for stairs. The profile features a trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg, which is secured in the mortar bond coat beneath the tile, and an 87° sloped vertical wall section that transfers point loads to the substrate and surface covering while protecting the tile edges from damage. In sizes greater than 1/4″ (6 mm), it features an integrated joint spacer that establishes a defined joint cavity between the tile and the profile.

Description

Select Schluter-SCHIENE according to tile thickness.
Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set mortar to the area where the profile is to be placed.
Press the perforated anchoring leg of the profile into the mortar and align.
Trowel additional thin-set mortar over the perforated anchoring leg to ensure full coverage and support of the tile edges.
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.
Set the tile to the integrated joint spacer, which ensures a uniform joint of 1/16″ – 1/8″ (1.5 – 3 mm). With the stainless steel profiles, leave a space of approximately 1/16″ – 1/8″ (1.5 – 3 mm).
Fill the joint completely with grout or setting material.
Work with materials and tools that will not scratch or damage sensitive surfaces. Setting materials and grouts must be removed immediately, especially from anodized aluminium surfaces.
