Schluter-QUADEC: It's Hip to Be Square Plattsburgh, NY The Schluter-QUADEC square profile is an ideal choice for designers and installers looking for a sleek design, durability, and value for their tile installation project. Tiling a floor, wall, or countertop is a smart choice, as tiles are scratch-, heat-, and fire-resistant, as well as visually stunning. Profiles enhance tile installations by finishing and protecting exposed tile edges at outside corners and creating transitions to other surface coverings. These square profiles are not only functional, they also add a new design element of interesting contrasts and contemporary finishes. In addition to edging tile, QUADEC can be used as a decorative accent within tiled areas. Combining QUADEC with other profiles, such as the QUADEC-FS feature strip and the DESIGNLINE border profile, provides homeowners with even more design options. Convenient to use and easy to install, QUADEC is secured in the mortar bond coat beneath the tile. All that shows on the tiled surface is a smooth, lustrous band that sets off the tile while protecting its unfinished edges. A universal accessory piece is used for inside and outside corners as well as end caps. Available connectors help installers align adjoining sections of QUADEC during installation. QUADEC, which is offered in several sizes to match a variety of tile thicknesses, is available in stainless steel and brushed stainless steel, as well as anodized aluminum in the following finishes:  satin, satin nickel, and an exclusive new color, antique bronze.
