Schluter®- INDEC es un perfil de terminación y de protección de borde de aluminio anodizado para esquinas exteriores de superficies revestidas con baldosas. Dispone de un ala de fijación perforada en forma trapezoidal que se fija en la capa de mortero adhesivo debajo de la baldosa en tanto el reborde visible del perfil forma un canal decorativo rebajado. INDEC puede utilizarse como perfil de transición o de terminación del marco de una puerta o una ventana. Hay disponibles esquinas exteriores a juego.

Los perfiles Schluter® -INDEC no requieren mantenimiento ni cuidados especiales y son resistentes al moho y a los hongos. Limpie regularmente los perfiles con productos de limpieza neutros. No utilice productos abrasivos en el aluminio anodizado.

1. Seleccionar el perfil según espesor y formato de baldosa.

2- Utilizando una llana dentada, aplique mortero de capa fina al área donde instalará el perfil.

3. Press the perforated anchoring leg of the profile into the mortar and align.

4. Trowel additional thin-set mortar over the perforated anchoring leg to ensure full coverage and support of the tile edges.

5. Solidly embed the tiles so that the tiled surface is flush with the top of the profile; the profile should not be higher than the tiled surface, but rather up to approx. 1/32" (1 mm) lower.

6. Set the tile, leaving a space for grout of approximately 1/16" – 1/8" (1.5 - 3 mm).

7. Fill the joint completely with grout or setting material.

8. Work with materials and tools that will not scratch or damage sensitive surfaces. Setting materials must be removed immediately, especially from aluminum.

Note: Matching corners are available for the INDEC. The end caps are held in place with thin-set mortar. Fill the ends of the profile with thin-set mortar prior to inserting the accessories.
