Schluter^®-DILEX-AHKA

Schluter®-DILEX-AHKA is an anodized aluminum, cove-shaped profile for transitions between walls to be tiled and previously finished floors. The profile features a single trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg that is secured in the mortar bond coat and a dovetailed channel, which can be bonded to floor surfaces using Schluter®-KERDI-FIX, epoxy resin, silicone, thin-set mortar, etc. A 3/8" (10 mm) radius cove section forms the visible surface and prevents the accumulation of dirt, making cleaning simple. DILEX-AHKA prevents surface water penetration and meets the maintenance and hygienic requirements of commercial kitchens, bathrooms, and food-processing plants, or any tiled environment where a sanitary cove base is desired. DILEX-AHKA integrates with the DILEX-AHK and Schluter®-RONDEC profiles at 90° inside and outside vertical wall corners, respectively. Accessories for DILEX-AHKA include 90° and 135° inside and outside corners, and end caps.

DILEX-AHKA requires no special maintenance or care and are resistant to mold and fungi. Clean profile using common household cleaning agents. In the case of anodized aluminum and color-coated aluminum do not use abrasive cleaning agents.

1. Select profile according to tile thickness and format.

2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set mortar over the area where the trapezoid-perforated anchoring legs will be placed.

Nota: de ser necesario, rellene el canal ranurado de DILEX- AHKA con KERDI-FIX, resina epóxica, silicona, mortero de capa fina o similar para adherir el perfil a la superficie de piso existente.

3- Presione las alas de fijación perforadas del perfil en el mortero.

Nota: instale las esquinas interiores y exteriores, los conectores y los tapones terminales antes de instalar la baldosa. Puede que sea necesario usar mortero de capa fina para obtener un ajuste adecuado.

4- Aplique con la llana una cantidad adicional de mortero de capa fina donde instalará las baldosas.

5- Incruste sólidamente las baldosas asegurándose una cobertura y soporte total de los bordes de las baldosas y que queden alineadas a ras del borde superior del perfil, dejando una junta de aprox. 1/16"- 1/18" (1,5- 3 mm) entre la baldosa y el perfil.

6- Rellene las juntas completamente con lechada o material de fraguado.
