Aluminum Ceramic Tile Edge Trim L Shape Alloy Metal Corner Protection
 
 
Application
 

This is an extruded profile that finishes and protects the edges of tiled coverings, as well as other surfacing materials.

Applications include: transitions between different surface coverings (e.g. tile to carpet); dado coverings; edge protection at expansion joints; decorative edging for stairs; as well as a finishing profile for all types of surfaces, such as carpet, parquetry, laminates, natural stone coverings, or cold cured resin coverings.

 
Feature

The profile’s unique design combines specific angle positions and material wall thicknesses to transmit point loads into the substrate and surface covering, thus protecting the covering’s edges against damage. The joint spacer, which is integrated in profiles higher than 6 mm, establishes a defined joint cavity between the tile and the profile. The anchoring leg of this profile, in all material types, can be punched with a special radius perforation “R” so that the profile can be used to form curves.

Use
 

1.Select profiles according to tile thickness.

2.Trowel tile adhesive over the area that forms the perimeter of the tiled covering.

3.Press the perforated anchoring leg of the profiles into the tile adhesive and align.

4.Trowel additional adhesive over the perforated anchoring leg to ensure full coverage.

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 up to approximately 1 mm lower).

6.The tile is set to the lateral joint spacer, which ensures a uniform joint of 1.5 mm. With the stainless steel profiles, leave a space of approximately 1.5 mm.

7.Fill the joint completely with grout.
