Symmetrically rounded profile with joint spacer for external wall corners and the edges of tile coverings made of aluminium with a specially textured coating. The joint spacer defines a joint chamber with the tile.

RONDEC is a finishing and edge protection profile for the external corners of tiled surfaces. It forms a symmetrically rounded outer corner along the surface edge. The integrated joint spacer forms a defined joint cavity with the tile. The profiles are available in different materials, colours and surface finishes to coordinate with tile and grout, fixtures and fittings or to create interesting accents in decorative design.

In addition RONDEC is suitable for transitions, corners or dado coverings with other covering materials e.g. carpet, parquetry, natural stone tiles or epoxy resin finishes. RONDEC also comes with matching internal and external corners for elegant connections.

Material

• TS = Tuscan textured aluminium

Color:

• TSB - Tuscan aluminum beige
• TSG - Tuscan gray aluminum
• TSOB - Aluminum Tuscan bronze

Installation

1. Select Schlüter RONDEC according to tile thickness.
2. Trowel tile adhesive over the area that forms the perimeter of the tiled covering. If Schlüter RONDEC is used at outer wall corners, finish tiling one wall first; then apply tile adhesive to the corner area of the second wall.
3. Press the perforated anchoring leg of the Schlüter RONDEC into the tile adhesive and align.
4. Trowel additional adhesive over the perforated anchoring leg to ensure full coverage and fill the cavity with tile adhesive.
5. Solidly embed adjacent tiles and adjust flush with the profile’s upper edge.
6. The tile is set to the lateral joint spacer, which ensures a uniform joint of 1.5 mm. In the case of stainless steel and brass profiles a joint of approximately 1.5 mm is recommended.
7. Work on sensitive surfaces with materials and tools that do not cause scratches or damage. Setting materials must be re- moved immediately, especially on aluminium.
8. Matching corner pieces are available for internal and external corners.

Maintenance

Schlüter RONDEC requires no special maintenance or care. Abrasive cleaners should not be used on sensitive surfaces. Use conventional polishes to remove the oxidation layer on aluminium; however, oxidation will reoccur. Applying lacquer can repair anodised layers.

Stainless steel surfaces exposed to the environment or aggressive substances should be cleaned periodically using a mild household cleaner. Regular cleaning maintains the neat appearance of stainless steel and reduces the risk of corrosion. All cleaning agents must be free of hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid.

Avoid contact with other metals such as steel, which can cause rust. This also includes tools such as trowels or steel wool, i.e. tools used to remove mortar residue. We recommend the use of the stainless steel cleaning polish Schlüter CLEAN-CP.
