Description
Schluter FINEC E Stainless Steel Tile Trim is a finishing profile for creating neat external edges of tile coverings or rendered surfaces.
Schluter FINEC E Stainless Steel Tile Trim protects the edge of the covering – including glass mosaics – from mechanical damage with a slim, elegant corner formation. It is a high-quality finishing profile made of stainless steel, particularly suitable for use in staircases as a slim edge protection for tiles and rendered surface coatings.
Schluter FINEC E Stainless Steel Tile Trim comes as standard in 2.5 metre lengths, and is available in the following internal height sizes: 4.5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 11mm and 12.5mm. Also available are optional corner sets for each size for creating neat 3-way square external corners – these comprise 3 x 10cm lengths that fit together to form a neat finish on corner areas.
Schluter FINEC E is made of roll formed V2A stainless steel (material no. 1.4301). It is particularly well suited for applications that, in addition to heavy mechanical stresses, require resistance to chemicals such as acidic or alkaline media and detergents. Stainless steel is not resistant to all chemical stresses. Substances such as hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acid or certain chloride and brine concentrations may cause damage. In certain cases, this also applies to seawater pools. Special anticipated stresses should therefore be verified in advance.
Schluter FINEC Tile Trim is also available in AE Anodised Aluminium, AC Colour Coated Aluminium and the TS TRENDLINE Textured Aluminium range of finishes.
Installation:
- Select the appropriate Schluter FINEC E Stainless Steel Tile Trim in accordance with the tile thickness.
- Press the trapezoid perforated anchoring leg of the profile firmly into the adhesive and align it (in the case of adjoining plaster or render place the anchoring leg on a suitable adhesive area first).
- Trowel additional adhesive over the trapezoid perforated anchoring leg to ensure full coverage.
Corner formation:
The adjoining tiles in the area of the profile must be chamfered by 45°. When creating 3 way external corners with Schluter FINEC E Stainless Steel Tile Trim, always start by embedding the pre-fabricated parts of the corner set in the tile adhesive. The following work sequence must be observed:
- left corner piece (1 trapezoid perforation),
- right corner piece (2 trapezoid perforations)
- lower corner piece (3 trapezoid perforations)
- cut profiles to size and set them in place. Please see datasheet linked below for a visual guide.
