Schluter^®-DILEX-KSN

Schluter®-DILEX-KSN features trapezoid-perforated anchoring legs, made of stainless steel or aluminum, which are secured in the mortar bond coat and provide edge protection for adjacent tiles. The profile separates individual fields in the tile covering and accommodates movement via the 7/16" (11 mm)-wide, soft thermoplastic rubber movement zone, which also forms the visible surface. The thermoplastic rubber movement zone can be replaced if damaged.

DILEX-KSN, with stainless steel anchoring legs, offers secure edge protection for surfaces exposed to heavy-duty commercial traffic (e.g., warehouses, production facilities, or shopping malls).

El perfil Schluter® KERDI-BOARD-KSN no requiere mantenimiento ni cuidados especiales y es resistente al moho y a los hongos. Limpie el perfil regularmente con productos de limpieza domésticos comunes. El acero inoxidable expuesto al ambiente o a sustancias agresivas debe limpiarse regularmente con un limpiador doméstico suave, lo que mantiene su aspecto pulcro y reduce el riesgo de corrosión. Evite el uso de ácidos fuertes (por ej., ácido hidroclorhídrico, fluorhídrico) y de limpiadores alcalinos (por ej., lejía, amoníaco, cloruros). No utilice productos abrasivos ni herramientas. Las superficies de acero inoxidable adquieren un brillo cuando se tratan con productos pulidores de cromo.

La película oxidativa del aluminio puede quitarse con pulidores convencionales, pero se formará nuevamente.

El caucho termoplástico insertado en DILEX-KSN es reemplazable.

1. Select the profile according to the tile thickness and format.

2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set mortar over the area where the profile is to be placed. The profile must align directly with movement joints in the substrate below.

3. Press the perforated anchoring legs of the profile into the mortar and align.

4. Trowel additional thin-set mortar over the perforated anchoring legs to ensure full coverage and support of the tile edges.

5. Solidly embed the tiles so that the tiled surface is flush with the top of the profile; the profile should not be higher than the tiled surface, but rather up to approx. 1/32" (1 mm) lower.

6. A joint of approximately 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 - 3 mm) should be left between the tile and the profile.

7. Fill the joint completely with grout or setting material.
