Schlüter-SHOWERPROFILE-S  Two-piece triangular profile for floor-level showers

Schlüter-SHOWERPROFILE-S is a two part profile with a tapered edge, designed to cover adjoining tile edges that become exposed as the shower floor slopes to accommodate drainage to the Schlüter-KERDI-LINE. The tapered profile features a visible surface of brushed stainless steel and a fleece fabric on the reverse for bonding with the tile adhesive. It is designed to be inserted into the U-shaped groove of the matching hard PVC support profile. The profile can be used for lateral transitions to the wall or the adjoining floor.

The PVC support profile is available in 6 different heights from 3 mm to 22 mm to match the thickness of the tiles installed in the floor of the shower. The sloped profiles are available in lengths of 120 and 200 cm, with a height of 6 or 10 mm at the low side (H1). They feature a slope of 2% (the equivalent of 2 mm for every 10 cm of length).

The profile is simply cut to size at the low and/or high side to achieve the required profile height and length. In addition, the height can be further adjusted by inserting the profile into the U-shaped support section to various depths.

1. Cut the support profile to the required length, press the trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg firmly into the adhesive already applied and align it.
2. Measure the required length and height of the triangular profile (front: lower side, back: upper side). Remember to take the insertion depth into the U-shaped groove into account.
3. Cut the triangular profile to the necessary length for the required height to be obtained.

   Note: By shortening on the narrow and/or wide profile sides, the required height can be cut out from the over-long profile. Once the triangular profile is cut to size, apply tile adhesive to its underside. Then insert it into the U-shaped support profile, press it home and align flush with the floor or wall. Remove the protective foil prior to installation.

Schlüter-SHOWERPROFILE-S 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 SHOWERPROFILE-S support profile is made in recycled rigid PVC. 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-S 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.
