Installation

1. Select Schluter-ECK-E according to tile thickness.
2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set mortar to the area where profile is to be placed.
3. Press the perforated anchoring legs of profile into the mortar and align.
4. Trowel additional thin-set mortar over the perforated anchoring legs to ensure full coverage and support of the tile edges.
5. Solidly embed the tiles so that the tiled surface is flush with the top of the profile; the profile should not be higher than the tiled surface, but rather up to approx. 1/32" (1 mm) lower.
6. A joint of 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 - 3 mm). Should be left between the tile and the profile.
7. Fill the joint completely with grout or setting material. Remove the protective foil from ECK-E immediately after grouting.

8. Work with materials and tools that will not scratch or damage sensitive surfaces. Setting materials and grouts must be removed immediately.
