Material
Schlüter®-DILEX-EZ consists of rigid PVC side walls connected by soft PVC at top and bottom. The top connection, which is the visible surface, is also available with a decorative brass or chrome foil inlay that is protected by a transparent PVC layer.
The profiles with inserts of brass or chrome material are coated with a protective layer of transparent PVC. The bottom section of the profile consists of detachable segments made of soft PVC. The upper side walls feature dove-tailed ribs for anchoring the profile to the mortar bed.
Material properties and areas of application:
The material is resistant to most chemicals encountered in tiled environments.
Schlüter®-DILEX-EZ 70 is installed as a movement joint in coverings, e.g. ceramic tiles and pavers, set in a mortar bed. The profile divides the covering into fields. Its centre zone, made of soft PVC, equalizes compressive stresses. In addition, brass or chrome-coloured inlays offer decorative design options.
In special cases, the suitability of a proposed type of profile must be verified based on the anticipated chemical, mechanical, and/or other stresses.
