Schlüter-RENO-T  T-shaped transition profile

Schlüter-RENO-T is a T-shaped profile installed as a transition between adjoining floor coverings of the same height e.g. ceramic tiles or natural stone, parquet flooring, concrete pavers, PVC, laminate. The void between the adjoining coverings is initially pre-filled with the adhesive Schlüter-KERDI-FIX, or an equivalent, to attach the Schlüter-RENO-T profile, followed by pressing the spacer of the transition profile into the void. Schlüter-RENO-T overlaps the adjoining surface materials and thus prevents the edges from becoming damaged when subjected to mechanical stress.

1. To install the Schlüter-RENO-T transition profile, the joint cavity must be at least 9 mm deep and free from debris. Substances which inhibit adhesion must be removed from the sides of the joint.
2. Pre-fill the joint chamber with Schlüter-KERDI-FIX or an equivalent material. Then press the vertical spacer of Schlüter-RENO-T into the filled joint until the lateral spacers are flush with the edges of the covering.
3. Remove any excess adhesive that has squeezed out from underneath the profile anchoring legs with a suitable cleaner.

Schlüter-RENO-T is available in the following materials:

• E = stainless steel V2A, material no. 1.4301 = AISI 304
• EB = brushed stainless steel
• A = aluminium
• M = brass
• AE = anodised aluminium

Material properties and areas of application

Schlüter-RENO-T protects the edges of the covering materials against mechanical stress.

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

Schlüter-RENO-T-M are profiles made of brass. Minor manufacturing flaws are unavoidable on their untreated surfaces. An oxide layer forms on the visible surface of the brass profiles by exposure to air, which causes the surface to darken. Exposure to moisture or aggressive substances can reinforce the oxidation, resulting in stains on the profile surface.

Schlüter-RENO-T-A are profiles made of aluminium. Technically, these are so-called semi-finished products, in which minor manufacturing traces also cannot be avoided.

In case of more demanding visual requirements, Schlüter-RENO-T-AE or -EB with post-treated, high-quality finishes are available. The anodised aluminium finish of Schlüter-RENO-T-AE can be damaged by aggressive substances or abrasive stresses.

Schlüter-RENO-T-E and -EB are made of roll-formed stainless steel V2A (material no. 1.4301) and are particularly suitable for high mechanical impact or special exposure to chemicals. Application areas include industrial food production facilities such as breweries, dairies, industrial kitchens, and hospitals as well as residential spaces. Even stainless steel is not resistant to all chemical stresses. Substances such as hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acid or certain chloride and brine concentrations may cause damage. Special anticipated stresses should therefore be verified in advance.

Schlüter-RENO-T-E profiles have untreated surfaces, which may feature manufacturing-related continuous lines with varying intensity on the visible surface. For more demanding visual requirements, Schlüter-RENO-T-EB with a post-treated, high-quality surface is available.
