Schlüter-DILEX-HK  Recycled PVC cove shaped profile

Schlüter-DILEX-HK is a cove shaped movement profile for corner joints within floor-wall transitions that meets the particular maintenance and hygienic requirements of, e.g. bathrooms, commercial kitchens, and food-processing plants. The profile’s dimensions allow for wall and floor tiles of different thicknesses.

As a cove shaped profile for internal wall corners, DILEX-HKW can be used in conjunction with DILEX-HK to form floor-wall connections.

DILEX-HK absorbs horizontal and vertical movements between the wall and floor. Furthermore, it effectively prevents sound bridges in this area, thereby reducing sound transmission.

1. Apply tile adhesive to the attachment points of the trapezoid-perforated anchoring legs. Firmly press the profile into the adhesive.
2. When setting tiles, trowel tile adhesive onto the substrate and over the perforated anchoring legs to ensure full coverage.
3. A joint of approx. 2 mm should be left between the wall tile and the profile. Completely fill the joint with grout.
4. Insert the floor tiles into the profile chamber, and completely fill the remaining joints with adhesive or grout. If necessary, fill the channel of the profile with adhesive prior to setting tiles.

   Note: Inserting a floor tile into the channel of the profile results in a small edge at the transition point of the cove. To avoid this, fill the channel with mortar prior to setting the tiles, so that the tiles may be set flush to the filled channel.

Schlüter-DILEX-HK consists of trapezoid perforated anchoring legs made of recycled rigid PVC and a soft CPE cove shaped movement zone.

Material properties and areas of application

The profile is resistant to most chemicals encountered in tiled environments, as well as to fungi and bacteria.

In special cases, the suitability of a selected material type must be verified based on the anticipated chemical, mechanical, and/or other stresses.
