Feature

Round 8mm Aluminium Tile Trim Bright Silver

Ever popular round edge anodised aluminium tile trim. Easy to use providing a neat finish for tiled windows, doorways, corners and arches.

Suitable for tiles up to 8mm thick.

Use

1. Choose shape and profile according to tile thickness.

2. Apply thin set mortar according to manufacturer’s directions to the area where profile is to be placed, using the appropriate size U notch trowel.

2a. For edging and outside wall corners using L-Shape or R-Round Bullnose, finish tiling one wall first, then trowel thin set mortar over corner areas of second wall.

2b. For the U-Shape Reducer, fill the hollow space beneath the sloped section of profile with thin set mortar before setting the trim.

3. Press the perforated anchoring leg of the profile into the mortar until mortar fills the circle cutouts. Then align trim with tile edge making sure the tile is flush against lower edge of trim face to ensure a uniform grout joint space between trim and tile.

4. Trowel additional thin set mortar evenly over the perforated anchoring leg completely covering the circle cutouts to ensure full coverage and support of the tile edges. The anchor leg should be partially buried in the sealant.

5. Ensure the tile is flush with top of profile or slightly lower. The profile should not be higher than the tiled surface, but rather up to approx. 1/32” (1 mm) lower.

6. After the tiles and profile have set, fill the grout joint completely with grout.

7. Gently wipe off any excess grout or thin set mortar immediately.
