Installation

1. Set tiles up to the area where Schluter-QUADEC-FS is to be installed as a feature strip.
   
2. Using a notched trowel, apply a sufficient amount of thin-set mortar to this area and/or to the back of Schluter-QUADEC-FS and press the profile into the mortar and align. Leave a space of approximately 1/16" – 1/8" (1.5 – 3 mm) between the profile and the tile.
   Note: QUADEC-FS may also be attached to the substrate with fasteners.
   
3. Set the adjacent row of tiles. Leave a space of approximately 1/16" – 1/8" (1.5 – 3 mm) between the profile and the tile.
   
4. To set tile along the face of QUADECFS, apply thin-set mortar to the back of the tile using a margin trowel. Press the back-buttered tiles into the face of the profile, making sure to force thin-set mortar fully into the dovetailed grooves. The tiled surface should be flush with the outer edge of the profile.
   Note: The recessed face accepts tile widths up to 2" (51 mm).
5. Fill joints completely with grout or setting material.
   
6. Work with materials and tools that will not scratch or damage sensitive surfaces. Setting materials must be removed immediately.
   Note: Matching inside corners/ outside corners/ end caps are available.
   

Note: Matching corners are available.  The same corner can be used to produce a 90° inside corner and a 90° outside corner.
