Installation

1.        Select Schluter-TREP-FL according to tile thickness.

2.        Install riser tile flush with the stair tread surface.

3.        Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set mortar along the edge area above riser.

4.        Fill the cavity at the front edge of the profile with thin-set mortar.

5.        Press the trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg of the Schluter-TREP-FL into the thin-set mortar, making sure that the front edge of the profile overlaps the riser tile. Full coverage must be obtained at the edge area to insure support of the profile.

7.       Trowel additional thin-set mortar over the anchoring leg and the stair tread surface to ensure full coverage and support of the tile edges.

8.       Solidly embed the tread tiles so that the tiled surface is flush with the top of the profile.

9.       A joint of approximately 1/16” – 1/8” (1.5 mm – 3 mm) should be left between the tile and the profile. Fill the joint completely with grout or setting material.
