Description Schluter QUADEC PVC GS Black Tile Trim is a square box section profile that offers excellent edge protection for external corners of tiled walls. It has a gloss black finish that is well suited to match gloss finish porcelain tiles. This trim is available in the following internal height sizes: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 11mm and 12.5mm. All sizes come in 2.5 metre lengths. In addition to its decorative function, Schluter QUADEC PVC GS Black Tile Trim effectively protects the edge areas from damage caused by mechanical impact. The visible area of the PVC profile forms a right angled external corner for tile coverings. The integrated joint spacer of the profile forms a defined joint cavity with the tile. Matching prefabricated corner pieces, also made from PVC, are available for internal and external corners for simple and appealing corner connections. Schluter QUADEC PVC GS Black Tile Trim is made of pre-coloured, rigid PVC which resists bending or scratching. The material is UV resistant, although it is not permanently colour stable in exterior applications. It is not suited for corners or transitions subjected to heavy mechanical stresses, e.g. at step edges or floor transitions. Installation: Select the profile height of Schluter QUADEC PVC GS Black Tile Trim according to the tile thickness and the installation method. Apply tile adhesive to the area where the tile covering will end, using a notched trowel. If Schluter QUADEC PVC GS is to be installed in an external wall corner, complete the tiling of one wall, then apply tile adhesive in the corner area of the second wall. Press the perforated anchoring leg of Schluter QUADEC PVC GS firmly into the adhesive and align it. Trowel additional adhesive over the perforated anchoring leg to ensure full coverage and fill the profile chamber with tile adhesive. Fully embed the adjoining tiles and adjust them in such a way that the upper lip of the profile is flush with the tile. Note: The profile may slightly protrude or be recessed in the wall area to offset dimensional variations in the covering material. In floor areas, the profile should not be higher than the tiled surface, but rather up to approx. 1 mm lower. The tile is set to the lateral joint spacer, which creates an evenly spaced joint of 1.5 mm. In the case of stainless steel or brass profiles, a joint of approx. 1.5 mm is recommended. Fill the joint completely with grout. Use suitable materials and tools for the sensitive surfaces to avoid scratches or other damage. Setting materials must be removed immediately. Matching preformed inside and outside corner pieces are available. Maintenance: Schluter QUADEC PVC GS Black Tile Trim requires no special maintenance or care. Abrasive cleaners should not be used on sensitive surfaces. Use conventional polishes to remove the oxidation layer on aluminium; however, oxidation will reoccur. Applying lacquer can repair anodised layers. Product Datasheet Click here to view this product on the Manufacturers website.
