Descubra lo que necesita para proteger las baldosas y facilitar las transiciones.
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.
Note: If necessary, fill the dovetailed channel of DILEX-AHKA with KERDI-FIX, epoxy resin, silicone, thin-set mortar or similar to adhere the profile to the existing floor surface.
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- 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.
