Schluter^®-VINPRO-U

Schluter-VINPRO-U is designed to provide a smooth transition between resilient floor coverings (e.g. LVT) and floor coverings at lower elevations or finished concrete. The profile is available in anodized aluminum. VINPRO-U features a tapered anchoring leg, with unique holes spaced evenly along the length of the profile for use with fasteners. The anchoring leg can also be bonded to the substrate using adhesive such as Schluter®-KERDI-FIX. The profile features a 1/4" (6 mm) or 3/8" (10 mm) wide sloped top flange to hide the cut edge of the resilient floor covering, providing a finished look.

Schluter resilient surface covering profiles require no special maintenance or care and are resistant to mold and fungi. Clean profiles using neutral cleaning agents. For anodized aluminum, do not use abrasive or strong alkaline cleaning agents.

1. Seleccione el perfil de acuerdo al espesor del revestimiento flexible. Se recomienda elegir una altura de perfil hasta 0,5 mm mayor que el espesor del revestimiento.

2. Coloque el perfil en la posición deseada y marque los bordes del perfil sobre el substrato.

3.a. Instalación del adhesivo Aplique Schluter®-KERDI-FIX o un adhesivo equivalente en la parte trasera del ala de fijación, según las instrucciones de instalación del fabricante. Presione el ala de fijación sobre el substrato y alinéelo en la posición deseada. Asegúrese de retirar rápidamente cualquier exceso de adhesivo.

Apply Schluter®-KERDI-FIX or an equivalent adhesive to the backside of the anchoring leg, according to the manufacturer's installation instructions. Press the anchoring leg onto the substrate and align to the desired position. Be sure to remove any excess adhesive promptly.

b. Instalación con fijaciones: Alinee el perfil en la posición deseada y fíjelo al substrato a través de los orificios del ala de fijación. Tornillo recomendado: Tornillos de cabeza plana #6 / M3.5, longitud mínima - 3/4"(19 mm). Asegúrese de instalar los tornillos de forma que la cabeza del tornillo quede a ras de la superficie del ala de fijación, evitando que traspase a la superficie acabada.

Align the profile in the desired position and fasten to the substrate through the holes in the anchoring leg. Recommended screw: #6 / M3.5 flat head screws, minimum length - 3/4" (19 mm). Be sure to install the fasteners so that the screw head is flush with the anchoring leg surface, preventing it from transferring through to the finished surface.

For concrete substrates: The use of anchors is recommended. First, place the profile in its desired position and mark the hole locations onto the substrate. Next, drill pilot holes at the marked locations and install the anchors according to the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure that the anchor size is suitable for the selected fastener prior to the installation.

4. A patching/leveling compound can be used to eliminate inconsistencies in the floor and anchoring leg if required. Please refer to the patching/leveling compound manufacturer's installation instructions.

5. Install resilient covering according to the manufacturer's installation instructions, with recommended edge spacing. Be sure to cut the adjacent covering accordingly to fit within the pocket of the profile.

6. When installing with adhesives or grouting materials, remove any residue from the visible surface of the profile quickly.
