Function

Schluter®-RONDEC is a finishing and edge protection profile for the outside corners of tiled surfaces. It features a trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg that is secured in the mortar bond coat beneath the tile and a reveal that forms a symmetrically rounded outer corner with 1/4" (6 mm) radius along the surface edge.

The profile is available in stainless steel, chrome-plated solid brass, anodized aluminum, color-coated aluminum, and PVC. RONDEC’s wide range of materials, colors, and surface finishes allows for color coordination with tile and grout and the creation of interesting accents in decorative designs. In addition to its decorative effect, the profile protects tile edges against damage caused by mechanical stresses.

RONDEC, in stainless steel, is particularly resistant to wear when used as edge protection. It may also be used as a stair nosing or transition profile.

In addition, RONDEC is suitable for transitions, corners, or other coverings with other covering materials; for example, carpet, parquetry, natural stone tiles, or cold-cured resin coatings. The integrated joint spacer forms a defined joint cavity with the tile.

Note: RONDEC, in stainless steel and solid brass, do not feature the integrated joint spacer. Matching inside and outside corners, including sink corners, and connectors are available. Matching end caps are available for RONDEC in stainless steel.

Installation

1. Select the profile according to tile thickness and format.

2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set mortar to the area where the profile is to be placed. If the RONDEC profile is to be used as edging for an outside wall corner, finish tiling one wall first; then trowel thin-set mortar over the corner area of the second wall.

3. Press the perforated anchoring leg of the profile into the mortar and align.

4. Trowel additional thin-set mortar over the perforated anchoring leg to ensure full coverage and support of the tile edges.

5. Solidly embed the tiles so that the tiled surface is flush with the top of the profile; the profile should not be higher than the tiled surface, but rather up to approx. 1/32" (1 mm) lower.

6. Set the tile to the integrated joint spacer, which ensures a uniform joint of 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 - 3 mm). With the stainless steel profiles, leave a space of approximately 1/16" - 1/8" (1.5 - 3 mm).

7. Fill the joint completely with grout or setting material.

8. Work with materials and tools that will not scratch or damage sensitive surfaces. Setting materials must be removed immediately, especially from aluminum.

Note: Matching corners are available for RONDEC. Corners and end caps are held in place with thin-set mortar. Fill the ends of the profile with thin-set mortar prior to inserting the accessories. Connectors are held in place with a friction fit. Insert the connector into the profile approximately half the length of the connector piece and connect the adjacent profile.

For installation of RONDEC sink corners (1-1/2" radius):

1. Insert the sink corner connectors into the profiles. Apply thin-set mortar to the substrate and firmly embed the profiles into the mortar.

2. Using a margin trowel, fill the back of the sink corners with thin-set mortar. Install the corners over the connectors and align.

Maintenance

The Schluter®-RONDEC profile requires no special maintenance or care and is resistant to mold and fungi. Clean profiles using common household cleaning agents.

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 and chlorides. Stainless steel surfaces develop a sheen when treated with a chrome-polishing agent.

Oxidation films on solid brass or aluminum may be removed with a common polishing agent, but will form again.

In the case of chrome-plated brass, anodized aluminum, and color-coated aluminum, do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
