Function

What this product does

Schlüter-SHOWERPROFILE-R is a two-piece wall connection profile made of stainless steel V4A, available either with a brushed finish or a high-quality powder coating for covering the wall area exposed due to the use of a wedge with a linear drainage channel. The profile has a fleece fabric attached to the reverse side for bonding with the tile adhesive. Thanks to its 2-part design, SHOWERPROFILE-R can be seamlessly adjusted to any height between 23 and 45 mm (in two versions). The profile can be supplied in lengths of 100 or 140 cm and can be individually cut to the required length.

Installation

How to install this product

Determine the length and height of the exposed wall area to be covered and cut the profile to the required length.
Position the two parts of the Schlüter-SHOWERPROFILE-R together so as to achieve the desired height.
Apply a sufficient amount of thin-bed mortar on the fleece-laminated underside and fit the profile flush with the tiles. Remove the protective foil prior to installation.

Material

What this product is made from

Schlüter-SHOWERPROFILE-R is available in the following materials and finishes:

EB = brushed stainless steel (V4A, material no. 1.4404 = AISI 316L)
TS = V4A stainless steel with textured coating

The profiles have a fleece fabric laminated on their rear faces for bonding with the tile adhesive. The visible surface of the profile is covered with a protective foil.

Material properties and areas of application

It is important to check the suitability of the profiles in terms of the anticipated chemical or mechanical stresses. SHOWERPROFILE-R in V4A stainless steel (material no. 1.4404 = AISI 316L) is especially suitable for applications requiring resistance to chemical exposure and high mechanical stresses. Even stainless steel of 1.4404 quality is not resistant to all chemical stresses, and may be affected by hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid or by certain chloride and brine concentrations, which may be present in cleaning agents or in swimming pools. Suitability for particular anticipated stresses should therefore be clarified in advance.

Maintenance & Care

How to look after this product

Schlüter-SHOWERPROFILE-R requires no special maintenance or care. Dirt can be removed when the covering is cleaned, using appropriate cleaning agents. The visible surfaces of the profiles can be polished to a shine with commercial chrome-polishing products. Stainless steel surfaces exposed to the environment or aggressive substances should be cleaned periodically using a mild household cleaner.

Regular cleaning not only maintains the neat appearance of the stainless steel, but also reduces the risk of corrosion.

All cleaning agents must be free of hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid. Avoid contact with other metals, such as ordinary steel, to prevent corrosion. This also includes installation tools such as trowels or steel wool, e.g. for removing mortar residue. Abrasive cleaning agents should not be used on sensitive surfaces. We recommend the use of Schlüter-CLEAN-CP stainless steel cleaning polish.
