Description The Schluter DILEX BWA Movement Joint Profile is a movement profile used in tile installations to provide a flexible connection to the building’s fixed elements. The perforated anchoring leg, made of recycled rigid PVC, is secured in the tile adhesive beneath the tiles. Epoxy resin, silicone, tile adhesive, etc. can be used to bond the dove-tailed channel of the profile (opposite the anchoring leg) to the existing structure. The Schluter DILEX BWA Expansion Joint comes in lengths of 2.5 metres, and is available in the following internal height sizes: 4.5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12.5mm. Each size is available in the following colours: BW – brilliant white, RAL 9003 C – cream, no RAL DA – dark anthracite, no RAL FG – joint grey, no RAL G – grey, RAL 7030 GS – black, RAL 9011 HB – light beige, RAL 1019 PG – pastel grey, no RAL SG – stone grey, no RAL The 5 mm wide movement zone, made of soft CPE, absorbs occurring movements. The lower soft zone is slit to maximise the absorption of tensile stresses. The Schluter DILEX BWA Movement Joint Profile prevents sound bridges, thereby reducing sound transmission. The Schluter DILEX BWA Movement Joint Profile consists of a perforated anchoring leg made of recycled rigid PVC, connected by a soft CPE top and bottom section to a dove-tailed channel, also made of recycled rigid PVC. The material is resistant to most chemicals commonly encountered in tiled environments. In special cases, the suitability of a proposed type of material must be verified based on anticipated chemical, mechanical, and/or other stresses. The trim’s CPE expansion zone is UV-Resistant and free of softening agents. The Schluter DILEX BWA Movement Joint Profile is used in tile installations as a flexible connection to fixed structural components. Applications include window or door frames, thresholds, cupboard-wall connections, floor coverings against existing wall or dado coverings, etc. Installation: Select the appropriate Schluter DILEX BWA Movement Joint Profile according to tile thickness. Apply tile adhesive to the edge area where the profile is to be installed, using an appropriate trowel. The undercut chamber of the exterior finishing leg can be filled with epoxy resin adhesive, silicone etc. as needed to bond the profile to the structural element. Press the trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg of the Schluter DILEX BWA Movement Joint Profile into the adhesive and bond it firmly to the structural element. Trowel additional tile adhesive over the trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg to ensure full coverage and solid bedding. Firmly press the adjoining tiles into place and align them flush with the upper profile edge. Leave a joint of approximately 2 mm to the profile. Completely fill the space between the tiles and the profile with grout. Product Datasheet Click here to view this product on the Manufacturers website.
