Schluter SCHIENE-STEP Aluminum Stair Nose Tile Edging Trim

Schluter SCHIENE-STEP is a finishing and edging profile for ceramic tile and natural stone installations on countertops, stairs, and tile over tile applications on walls. The profile features a trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg, which is secured in the mortar bond coat beneath the tile. The top of the profile features a vertical wall section that finishes and protects the tile from damage, while the vertical leg covers the edge of the subassembly, top of the riser, or existing wall tile edge.

SCHIENE-STEP is available in anodized aluminum and brushed stainless steel versions, which have different shapes and intended uses. The stainless steel version is available in three vertical leg lengths: 1-1/2" (39 mm) for countertops, 1-3/16" (30 mm) for stairs, and 7/16" (11 mm) for tile over tile applications. Matching inside and outside corners and connectors are available, depending on the vertical leg length. The anodized aluminum version is intended for residential stair applications (stairs not exposed to heavy traffic). It is available in two vertical leg lengths, 1-3/16" (30 mm) and 1-1/2" (39 mm), to cover the edge of the sub-assembly. The integrated joint spacer establishes a defined joint cavity between the tile and the profile. Accessories are not available for the anodized aluminum version.
