Because ceramic and stone tiles are inherently brittle, their exposed edges can chip and crack if left unprotected. Transitions between floor surfaces and at thresholds are particularly vulnerable to damage. Schluter®-Systems offers a variety of profiles to provide edge protection and transitioning at thresholds and between adjacent surfaces, resulting in durable, maintenance- free tiled coverings. Schluter® profiles are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials, and finishes. Ceramic and stone tiles are durable, hygienic, heat resistant, and easy to maintain, representing the ideal surface covering for walls and countertops. However, lack of trim pieces such as bullnose or quarter round in many tile lines can limit designers’ options. Schluter®-Systems offers various finishing and edge-protection profiles for walls and countertops that offer increased design flexibility because they can be integrated with any field tile to create a beautiful, durable installation.
