Product Description

Schluter SCHIENE Profiles provide effective and attractive edge protection for tile coverings that are typically bordered by carpet, at expansion joints, or as decorative edging for stairs. The profile offers a discreet, minimum reveal which is ideal for creating elegant transitions between floor coverings.

SCHIENE is available in stainless steel, solid brass, aluminum, and anodized aluminum. The profile features a trapezoid perforated anchoring leg, which is secured in the mortar bond coat beneath the tile, and an 87° sloped vertical wall section that transfers point loads to the substrate and surface covering while protecting tile edges from damage. SCHIENE, in solid brass, aluminum, and anodized aluminum, features a 5° sloped top flange and fillet at the anchoring leg/vertical section interface to enhance edge protection by reducing stresses on the tile, and, in sizes greater than 1/4" (6 mm), features an integrated joint spacer that establishes a defined joint cavity between the tile and the profile.

The anchoring leg of SCHIENE, in all materials, is available with a special radius perforation “R” so that the profile can be used to form curves.

Q: What size Schluter Schiene should I use with 18 .in X 18 .in porcelain tile, since it uses a thicker layer of thinset? 3/8 .in, 7/16 .in, 1/2 .in?

Order the Scheine trim approximately 1/16th - 1/8 .in taller than the thickness of the tile you are using to account for the thickness of the thin-set. If the bed of thin-set is on the thicker side, we would suggest measuring the exact thickness of your tile, and adding 1/8th inch, as that should be appropriate for a bed of thin-set for an average 18 x 18 tile.
