A. Yes.  Schluter-Systems offers various profiles that allow the user to produce a finished tile base with a cove.  The first step is to select a cove-shaped profile that will provide the transition between the floor and the base.  For example, Schluter-Systems offers the Schluter-DILEX-EHK in stainless steel, Schluter-DILEX-AHK in anodized aluminum, and Schluter-DILEX-HKW in PVC.  Selection between these profiles will depend on the expected stresses (e.g., residential application vs. commercial kitchen) and desired appearance.  The next step is to select a profile to finish the top of the tile base that may consist of your floor tiles in a different format (either cut or from the manufacturer).  Suitable options include the Schluter-RONDEC for a rounded appearance or the Schluter-QUADEC for a square look.  The final result will be a beautiful, durable, and maintenance-free tile base.

Note:  All of the profiles listed above feature matching inside and outside corners.

A. The Schluter-RENO-TK profile provides a sloped transition between the tile and carpet and features a channel below the sloped surface to hide and protect the edge of the carpet.

A. Select the profile height according to the tile thickness.  If a larger profile is used, it may protrude above the tile layer and may create a trip hazard if it is installed in a traffic area.  Typically, profiles should be flush or slightly lower than the tile after installation.
