Schluter^®-RONDEC

Schluter® RONDEC es un perfil de terminación y protección para las esquinas exteriores de superficies revestidas con baldosas. Presenta un ala de fijación perforada trapezoidalmente que se fija en la capa de mortero adhesivo debajo de la baldosa y un reborde que forma una esquina redondeada de 1/4" (6 mm) de radio simétricamente a lo largo del borde de la superficie.

El perfil está disponible en latón sólido cromado, aluminio anodizado, aluminio texturizado revestido con color, acero inoxidable y PVC. La amplia variedad de materiales, colores y acabados de RONDEC permite la coordinación con la baldosa y la lechada y la creación de detalles de diseños decorativos. Además de su efecto decorativo, el perfil protege los bordes de las baldosas contra los daños causados por las tensiones mecánicas.

RONDEC, de acero inoxidable, es especialmente resistente al desgaste cuando se utiliza como protección de bordes. También se puede utilizar como borde de peldaño de escalera o perfil de transición.

Además, RONDEC es adecuado para transiciones, esquinas u otros revestimientos con otros materiales de revestimiento

Nota: RONDEC, en acero inoxidable y latón macizo, no disponen de separador de juntas integrado. Hay disponibles esquinas interiores y exteriores a juego, incluidas esquinas de lavabo, y conectores. Para RONDEC en acero inoxidable hay disponibles tapones terminales a juego.

The Schluter-RONDEC profile requires no special maintenance or care and is resistant to mold and fungi. Clean profiles periodically using neutral cleaning agents. Stainless steel surfaces exposed to the environment or aggressive substances should be cleaned periodically using a neutral cleaner. Regular cleaning maintains the neat appearance of stainless steel and reduces the risk of corrosion. Avoid the use of strong acids (e.g. hydrochloric or hydrofluoric) and base/alkaline cleaners (e.g. bleach, ammonia, chlorides). Do not use abrasive cleaning agents and tools. Stainless steel surfaces develop a sheen when treated with a chrome-polishing agent. Oxidation films on exposed solid brass or aluminum may be removed with a common polishing agent but will form again. In the case of chrome plated brass, anodized aluminum, and color coated aluminum and textured color-coated aluminum, do not use abrasive cleaning agents.

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

2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set mortar to the area where the profile is to be placed. If the RONDEC profile is to be used as edging for an outside wall corner, finish tiling one wall first; then trowel thin-set mortar over the corner area of the second wall.

3. Press the perforated anchoring leg of the profile into the mortar and align.

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

5. Solidly embed the tiles so that the tiled surface is flush with the top of the profile; the profile should not be higher than the tiled surface, but rather up to approx. 1/32" (1 mm) lower.

6. Set the tile to the integrated joint spacer, which ensures a uniform joint of 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 - 3 mm). With the stainless steel profiles, leave a space of approximately 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 - 3 mm).

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

8. Work with materials and tools that will not scratch or damage sensitive surfaces. Setting materials must be removed immediately, especially from aluminum.

Note: Matching corners are available for RONDEC. Corners and end caps are held in place with thin-set mortar. Fill the ends of the profile with thin-set mortar prior to inserting the accessories. Connectors are held in place with a friction fit. Insert the connector into the profile approximately half the length of the connector piece and connect the adjacent profile.

For installation of RONDEC sink corners (1-1/2" radius):

1. Insert the sink corner connectors into the profiles. Apply thin-set mortar to the substrate and firmly embed the profiles into the mortar.

2. Using a margin trowel, fill the back of the sink corners with thin-set mortar. Install the corners over the connectors and align. 3. Setting materials must be removed immediately
