Schluter^®-DILEX-AHK

Schluter®-DILEX-AHK features a single trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg, which is secured in the mortar bond coat and a cove section that forms the visible surface. The profile’s 3/8" (10 mm) radius makes DILEX-AHK an attractive option for countertop/backsplash transitions, as it prevents the accumulation of dirt and makes cleaning simple. The profile separates tile fields that meet at inside corners where limited movement is expected. DILEX-AHK 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-AHK is available in anodized aluminum and color-coated aluminum. Accessories for DILEX-AHK include: inside and outside corners, connectors, and end caps. Outside corners to integrate with Schluter®-QUADEC are available for DILEX-AHK only.

DILEX- AHK 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.

3. Press the perforated anchoring leg(s) of the profile into the mortar. Note: Install inside and outside corners, connectors, and end caps prior to setting tile. The use of thin-set mortar or similar may be required to achieve a proper fit.

4. Trowel additional thin-set mortar where the tiles are to be installed.

5- Incruste sólidamente las baldosas, asurando la cobertura total y el soporte de los bordes de las baldosas y alineando a ras con la parte superior del perfil. Instale la baldosa en la junta espaciadora integrada, la cual asegura una junta uniforme de 1/16"- 1/8" (1,5- 3 mm).

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