Here’s How Floor Edge Finishing Profiles Solve Common Problems
Here, Schlüter-Systems highlights just a few of the frequently encountered problems its extensive range of floor profile options can solve.
I
Problem: Finishing tile against floor coverings of the same height Solution: Schlüter-SCHIENE SCHIENE, the original finishing threshold strip, neatly finishes tile and stone coverings against adjacent floor coverings of the same height as well as protecting their outer edges.
Problem: Finishing tile against floor coverings of a different height Solution: Schlüter-RENO RENO profiles create a smooth transition between adjoining floor coverings of different heights, and thus feature small slopes (some fixed and some variable).
n the design of a tile or stone installation, there are a number of different finishing situations that can present themselves.
Problem: Attaching shower screens without compromising waterproofing measures
Solution: Schlüter-DECO-SG Using screws to mechanically attach shower screens means that waterproofing is punctured and needs to be resealed. The DECO-SG profile allows for screw- free installation of shower screens, featuring an anchoring leg that is bedded into the tile adhesive and a U-shaped recess into which the glass is inserted.
Problem: Creating durable and slip- resistant stair nosing Solution: Schlüter-TREP The edges of stairs are exposed to heavy mechanical stresses and represent a high risk for injuries. Because of their slip-resistant design and excellent visibility, TREP profiles improve safety and offer DDA compliance and protection.
Problem: Accommodating movement of tile fields in a discreet fashion Solution: Schlüter-DILEX The larger the expanse of tile, the greater the dynamics of movement. Movement joints such as DILEX are placed at appropriate intervals to absorb stresses and keep surfaces crack-free.

www.schluterspecifier.co.uk Cost Effective Aluminium Replaces Standing Seam Detail on Housing Development
Beaulieu Chase is a prestigious new housing development in Chelmsford, the completed properties have a stylish contemporary design, with living areas over three floors. Specialised Fixings were awarded the contract to supply and install Fascia’s, Soffits, Coping and Entrance Canopies to 108 properties. A variety of factors meant that a cost-effective alternative was required for the zinc standing seam element and after consultation with the architects, Specialised Fixings and ARP agreed that aluminium would be a suitable option. ARP produced samples which were polyester powder coated to the colour specified by the Architects new designs and then fitted to a mocked-up roof for approval. Aluminium is a great material for new build contemporary properties like these. It is non-corrosive, and fully formable enabling it to mimic other building materials. It will also enhance the architectural elements of a building. The Trueline Fascia, Soffits, Copings and Entrance canopies used in this development will last for many years to come, with little maintenance. Aluminium is fully recyclable and can be powder coated to any BS or RAL colour.
