Schlüter-SCHIENE HERE’S HOW EDGE FINISHING PROFILES SOLVE COMMON PROBLEMS In the design of a tile or stone installation, there are a number of different finishing situations that can present themselves. Here, Schlüter-Systems highlights just a few of the frequently encountered problems that profiles within its range of over 5,000 different options can solve. Schlüter-SCHIENE Problem: Finishing tile against floor coverings of the same height Solution: Schlüter-SCHIENE SCHIENE, the original finishing threshold strip, neatly finishes tile and stone coverings against adjacent floor coverings of the same height as well as protecting their outer edges. Problem: Finishing tile against floor coverings of a different height Solution: Schlüter-RENO RENO profiles create a smooth transition between adjoining floor coverings of different heights, and thus feature small slopes (some fixed and some variable) Problem: Creating durable and slip-resistant stair nosing Solution: Schlüter-TREP The edges of stairs are exposed to heavy mechanical stresses and represent a high risk for injuries. Because of their slip-resistant design and excellent visibility, TREP profiles improve safety and offer DDA compliance and protection. Schlüter-TREP Schlüter-RENO
