Installation

1. Select Schluter-DILEX-EKE according to tile thickness. Profile height, "U", must allow insertion of the tile into the tile pocket; for example, select "U 11" for a tile thickness between approximately 5/16" (8 mm) and 3/8" (10 mm).
2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set mortar over the area where the trapezoid-perforated anchoring legs will be placed.
3. Press the perforated anchoring legs of profile into the mortar.
4. Trowel additional thin-set mortar over the perforated anchoring legs to ensure full coverage and support of the tile edges.
5. Insert tile into the tile pocket. Completely fill the remaining joint with grout or setting material.
6. Set opposing tile, leaving a joint of approx. 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 mm - 3 mm) between the tile and the profile. Fill the joint completely with grout or setting material.
