Following an intensive research and product development process, Schlüter-Systems added a revolutionary new slim-line contour profile to its already-extensive product portfolio.
Schlüter-Finec offers near-invisible edge protection for the corners of tile and stone installations, satisfying the demands of both tile protection and design aesthetics. The profiles are particularly suited for use with glass mosaics and thin-format tiles as they are extremely slim-line, allowing for the creation of discreet flowing detail.
Unlike comparable offerings from other suppliers, Schlüter-Finec is available in both anodised aluminium and V2A stainless steel, meaning that discreet edges are possible in both standard and heavy-duty applications. This new addition to Schlüter’s range of profiles is also easy to cut and mitre, making for quick finishing, less wastage and reduced frustration on the part of the installer.

Homelux can also help tilers to creating the perfect external corner; an area where it can be difficult to achieve a professional look. Using two round edge ceramic tile trims and one square edge ceramic tile trim; simply cut and mitre, offer the listello to the corner wall adhesive, and then grout the tiles.
Pro Sealastrip is designed to provide an effective long lasting PVC seal and is ideal for use between a bath or shower tray and the wall.
Bath & Power Shower Seal overcomes the problem that most bathroom seals do not have sufficient flexibility to allow for the weight of a bath full of water or a person in a shower tray. UltraSeal expands by up to 15mm to allow for any movement, which prevents the seal from being broken at the most important time. This product is available as a pre fit seal for use before tiling or as a post fit seal if you have already tiled.
