Aluminum Tile Edge Trim L Shape Metal Alloy Corner Ceramic 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

• Designed for wall applications to prevent chipped tile edges

• Install while tiling by embedding anchoring leg in thin-set under the tile

• Matte white textured color-coated aluminum finish

• Accommodates tiles 3/8-in thick

• Adds a decorative edge to tiled backsplashes and walls

• Suitable for residential and commercial applications

Use
 

1. Choose shape and profile according to tile thickness.

2. finish tiling one wall first, then trowel thin set mortar over corner areas of second wall.

3. Press the perforated anchoring leg of the profile into the mortar until mortar fills the circle cutouts. Then align trim with tile edge making sure the tile is flush against lower edge of trim face to ensure a uniform grout joint space between trim and tile.

4. Trowel additional thin set mortar evenly over the perforated anchoring leg completely covering the circle cutouts to ensure full coverage and support of the tile edges. The anchor leg should be partially buried in the sealant.

5. Ensure the tile is flush with top of profile or slightly lower. The profile should not be higher than the tiled surface, but rather up to approx. 1/32” (1 mm) lower.

6. After the tiles and profile have set, fill the grout joint completely with grout.

7. Gently wipe off any excess grout or thin set mortar immediately.
