Schluter®-RONDEC-STEP is a finishing and edging profile for ceramic tile and natural stone installations on stairs.
The profile features a trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg, which is secured in the mortar bond coat beneath the tile. The top of the profile features a symmetrically rounded edge with 1/4" (6 mm) radius, which matches the RONDEC profile, while the vertical leg of the profile hides the exposed edge of the sub-assembly.
In addition, the profile effectively protects tiles in the edge area from mechanical and impact stresses. The integrated joint spacer establishes a defined joint cavity between the tile and the profile. Schluter-RONDEC-STEP is suitable for residential applications, e.g., stairs not exposed to heavy traffic.
Schluter-RONDEC-STEP is available in two vertical leg lengths, 1-1/2" (39 mm) and 2-1/4" (57 mm), to cover the edge of the sub-assembly. The profile is available in anodized aluminum with various finishes to allow for decorative design and interesting accents. Matching corners are available.
Based on his extensive knowledge of tile assemblies, Werner Schluter has consistently met the needs of a rapidly evolving industry by developing practical solutions to tile installation challenges. What began as a modest idea has since evolved into a company with over 40 product lines that are promoted in countries around the world.
