Schluter ECK-KHK is a stainless steel profile for inside wall corners that produces a radiused edge for a clean, decorative finish. The cove-shaped design prevents the accumulation of dirt, making cleaning simple, and is therefore ideal for environments with strict hygienic requirements.
Schluter ECK-KHK Features:
- Ideal for commercial kitchens, bathrooms, food processing plants, or any environment where a sanitary corner is mandatory
- Features a 5/16" (8 mm)-wide radius to prevent the accumulation of dirt and make cleaning simple
- Subsequently bonded to the inside corners of existing tile or other wall coverings
- 2-way and 3-way 90° inside corners are available, as well as 90° outside corners
Schluter Edging Trim Installation
- ECK-KHK is applied to prepared wall corners using KERDI-FIX, silicone, or a similar adhesive. Prior to applying the adhesive, make sure that all surfaces are free from adhesion-inhibiting substances such as oil or grease. Apply a bead of adhesive to the back of each of the profile legs; then press the legs onto the wall covering, ensuring that the lateral edges lie flat and have solid contact throughout.
- Use a suitable cleaning agent to remove any excess adhesive from around the profile legs.
- Remove the protective foil.
Note: The ECK-KHK connectors should overlap the profiles by at least 3/8” (10 mm). Install ECK-KHK inside and outside corners using a permanently elastic, waterproof adhesive (e.g., KERDI-FIX or silicone). Prior to application, any contact-inhibiting substances (e.g., grease, etc.) must be removed.
How do I cut profiles?
Schluter™ profiles are available in a variety of different materials , so methods for cutting vary. Below are best practices for cutting according to material type.
Plastic
Plastic profiles may be cut using Schluter™-SNIPS or similar. It is important to make sure the blade is sharp in order to ensure a clean cut.
Aluminum
One option for cutting aluminum profiles is to simply use a hacksaw. Look for a bimetal blade and select the highest teeth per inch, or TPI, available. A miter box is recommended to help ensure a straight cut. Aluminum profiles may also be cut using a variable-speed angle grinder with the Schluter-PROCUT-TSM cutting wheel. Set the angle grinder to the lowest speed. A clamp or cutting jig can be used to secure the profile and help ensure a straight, clean cut. Finally, aluminum profiles can also be cut using a chop saw or miter saw with a non-ferrous blade. After cutting, make sure to remove any burs with a file before installation.
Brass
Brass profiles can be cut by using a hacksaw with a bimetal blade with the highest teeth per inch available, or by using a chop saw or miter saw with a non-ferrous blade. Removing any burrs from the cut end of the profile with a file (or similar) is also recommended.
Stainless Steel
The simplest option for cutting stainless steel is to use a variable-speed angle grinder with the Schluter-PROCUT-TSM cutting wheel. Set the angle grinder to the lowest speed. Another option for cutting stainless steel profiles is to use a band saw with a metal cutting blade. After cutting, make sure to remove any burs with a file before installation.
