Schluter DILEX-BWA PVC Movement Joint Tile Edging Trim

Schluter- DILEX-BWA is a perimeter joint profile with a rigid PVC anchoring leg and a 3/16" (5 mm)-wide, soft CPE movement zone that isolates the tile covering from fixed building elements, such as bathtubs, shower trays, and door and window frames.

Schluter-DILEX-BWA features a trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg, made of recycled rigid PVC, which is secured in the mortar bond coat, and a dovetailed channel, made of recycled rigid PVC, which can be bonded to fixed building elements (e.g., door and window frames, bathtubs and shower trays, countertops, etc.) using Schluter-KERDI-FIX, epoxy resin, silicone, tile adhesive, etc. The profile isolates the tile covering from the structure and accommodates movement via the 3/16" (5 mm)-wide soft chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) movement zone, which also forms the visible surface. The lower CPE movement zone is slit to maximize the absorption of movement. DILEX-BWA also prevents sound bridges, making it ideal for transitions in sound-rated floors.
