Great video, is there a general rule of thumb for how to choose the profile based on tile thickness? Also, with the cove profile is there a need to factor in expansion and contraction? Thanks for mentioning the TCNA recommendation for 95 to 100% coverage in wet areas!
@schlutersystems1
5 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much! Profile size selection is based on the thickness of the tile and amount of setting material used to set the tile. With smaller format tiles, take the tile thickness and select the corresponding size profile. Due to more warpage with larger format tiles, additional thin-set mortar may need to be applied underneath the tile to achieve full coverage. This will raise the tile and may require the use of a larger profile. The PVC coves offer movement capabilities along with the stainless steel HKS, which has an integrated movement zone. These should be selected if a larger amount of movement or stress is anticipated.

@schlutersystems1
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Ceeloc, You would select the profile according to tile thickness and format, so you would most likely use a 3/8" thick profile in this case. However, the profile does not include the thin-set thickness, so when using a larger format tile, a thinner profile may be needed. Install the tile so it's surface is flush with the top of the profile or approx. 1/32" (1 mm) lower. The profile should not be higher than the tiled surface. The best place for Technical Support is really through our Product Support team. It's always a good idea to have a proper discussion about a unique project so we are sure to have all the details and can advise with the proper directions.

Hi Neely, it's generally good practice to apply thin-set on the substrate prior to installing tile, however, on a wall, particularly with a base board, it is not as critical as it would be in a floor application. This is most likely why we did it this way in the demo video.

Hi John, just as when installing our uncoupling membranes it is best practice to prepare the substrate to ensure it is suitable for tile (i.e, even and structurally sound) this is applicable with profiles as well. This could include leveling the floor with self-leveling underlayment. Proper preparation will ensure a successful installation and ensure the Schluter profiles, especially movement joint profiles, are able to function properly. We offer a variety of profiles for different applications and they showed one option, DILEX-AHKA, which sits right on top of the tile surface vs embedded in the assembly if it were to feature two anchoring legs. This profile offers some flexibility that others may not for this application. If you have any specific questions, please reach out to our Support Team at 888-472-4588 (US) or 800-667-8746 (Canada) who are here to help!

Hi Bob. As long as the installation instructions are followed, there should not be too much build up of thin-set with our profiles. If there is a concern about build up in a specific application, there are a couple of options that may help. 1. Dry installation of the profile helps limit the build up. Set the profile in place without thin-set (use a tile to hold it in place or adhere/fasten temporarily) and then install the thin-set or tile over the anchoring leg. Or Option 2. Order a slightly thicker profile. Hope this helps, or please feel free to give our team a call!
