Material:

Ceramic tile trim is available in the following variants: aluminium anodised, aluminium powder-coated.

Properties:

Aluminium profiles may be used wherever unusual chemical reactions are not to be expected. To avoid corrosion, it is necessary to take care with cement materials. Since aluminium is susceptible to alkaline, any mortar, tile adhesive or grout residues must be removed immediately from all visible surfaces. The profile must be completely embedded in the contact layer.

Aluminium anodised and aluminium powder-coated profiles are specially treated so that their surfaces are not usually likely to change. Visible surfaces must still be protected from cement materials. Items that scratch or scrape the profiles may cause damage.

Installation:

1.    Profiles should be chosen to match the thickness of the tiles.

2.    Tile adhesive should be applied around the junction using a serrated trowel.

3.    Press the profile into the adhesive(mortar ect.) bed and align it.

4.    Spread mortar over the entire surface of the joint.

5.    Press in tiles firmly and align them so that they are flush with the top edge of the profile. Lay the tiles without leaving any gaps.

Maintenance:

These profiles do not require any special maintenance. If they become dirty, they can be simply cleaned with conventional cleaning agents. Cleaning agents should be free of hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid (and solvents in the case of PVC) and should not contain abrasives.
