Schluter®-DILEX-HKS features a soft, thermoplastic rubber movement zone that is attached to the profile via rigid rubber grip bars to absorb larger movements at floor/wall transitions and at inside wall corners. DILEX-HKS prevent surface water penetration and meet the maintenance and hygienic requirements of commercial kitchens, bathrooms, food-processing plants, and hospitals, or any tiled environment where a sanitary cove base is desired. Accessories for both DILEX-HKS include: inside and outside corners, connectors, and end caps. Also available by special order are 90° outside corners with 6” (150 mm) pre-cut profile sections.

DILEX-HKS requires no special maintenance or care and are resistant to mold and fungi. Clean profile using common household cleaning agents. Stainless steel surfaces exposed to the environment or aggressive substances should be cleaned periodically using a mild household cleaner. Regular cleaning maintains the neat appearance of stainless steel and reduces the risk of corrosion. All cleaning agents must be free of hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and chlorides. Stainless steel surfaces develop a sheen when treated with a chrome-polishing agent. The thermoplastic rubber inserts in DILEX-HKS are replaceable.

1- Seleccione el perfil de acuerdo con el formato y espesor de la baldosa.

2- Utilizando una llana dentada, aplique mortero de capa fina en el área donde ubicará las alas de fijación perforadas en forma trapezoidal.

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. Los accesorios de DILEX-HKS se aplican utilizando un adhesivo permanente elástico e impermeable (por ej., KERDI-FIX o silicona). Antes de la aplicación, quitar todo resto de sustancia que inhiba la adhesión (por ej., grasa). Los conectores deben superponerse con el perfil al menos 3/8" (10 mm).

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.
