Schluter^®-TREP-FL

Schluter®-TREP-FL is a decorative stair-nosing profile with a protruding rounded edge that can be integrated into stairs covered with ceramic tile or natural stone. The profile protects the front edge of stairs and adds a high degree of safety by improving the visibility of the stair edges. The profile is available in stainless steel or anodized aluminum.

TREP-FL is suitable for residential applications, e.g., stairs not exposed to heavy traffic. Matching end caps are available.

El perfil para peldaños Schluter® TREP-FL no requiere mantenimiento ni cuidados especiales y es resistentes al moho y a los hongos. Limpie regularmente el perfil con un producto de limpieza neutro.

Las superficies en acero inoxidable expuestas al ambiente o a sustancias agresivas deben limpiarse periódicamente con un producto de limpieza neutro. La limpieza regular mantiene la apariencia del acero inoxidable y reduce el riesgo de corrosión. Evite el uso de ácidos fuertes (por ej., hidroclorhídrico o fluorhídrico) y productos de limpieza alcalinos (por ej., lejía, amoníaco o cloruros).

No use productos de limpieza abrasivos ni herramientas. Las superficies de acero inoxidable adquieren brillo cuando se tratan con un producto pulidor de cromo. No utilice abrasivos ni productos de limpieza alcalinos fuertes en el aluminio anodizado.

1. Select profile according to the tile thickness and format.

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

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

4. Fill cavities on the underside of the profile with thin-set mortar.

5. Press the trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg of the profile into the thin-set mortar, such that the front edge of the profile overlaps the riser tile. Full coverage must be obtained at the edge area to ensure support of the profile.

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

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

8. A joint of approx. 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 - 3 mm) should be left between the tile and the profile.

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