Schluter®-SHELF-W is a wall storage system available in brushed stainless steel or aluminum in a range of textured color-coated finishes including stone grey, pewter, cream, ivory, greige, bronze, dark anthracite, matte black, and matte white. The shelves are 5/32″ (4 mm) -thick and feature designs coordinating with the KERDI-DRAIN and KERDI-LINE drain grates. They can be used in showers and other tiled wall applications (e.g., kitchens and baths). SHELF-W is a rectangular shelf with two trapezoid-perforated anchoring legs for installation on walls in conjunction with the tile.
Les étagères Schluter®-SHELF-W ne requièrent aucun soin ou entretien particulier et sont résistantes aux moisissures et aux champignons. Nettoyez périodiquement les étagères au moyen d’un produit de nettoyage neutre. Évitez les acides puissants (ex. : acide chlorhydrique ou fluorhydrique) et les nettoyants alcalins (ex. : eau de javel, ammoniaque, chlore). N’utilisez pas de nettoyants ni d’outils abrasifs. Même l’acier inoxydable requiert un nettoyage périodique pour favoriser la préservation de son apparence et réduire les risques de corrosions. Les surfaces d’acier inoxydable deviennent plus lustrées lorsqu’on les nettoie au moyen d’un produit de polissage pour chrome.
Surface - installation in conjunction with tile
1. If the grout joint is less than 5/32″ (4 mm) –thick the tiles must be notched to fit the SHELF-W. Placing the notch in the tiles below the SHELF-W will result in a visually appealing, even line above.
2. Install the tile up to the joint where the SHELF-W will be placed and slide the bottom anchoring leg behind the tile. Provide temporary support as required.
3. Install the remainder of the tile and grout the application.
4. After the grout has set, seal the joint between the SHELF-W and the wall tile on the top and bottom surfaces with sealant that is suitable for the application (e.g., silicone.)
5. Allow the sealant to cure prior to using the SHELF-W.
