The Schluter TREP-SE Stainless Steel 1-1/32" Stair Nose Tile Edging Trim is designed to protect tiled stair edges and provide an easily visible, slip-resistant wear surface for a durable, safe, and visually appealing stair-nosing design.
The profiles feature a trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg made of aluminum which is secured in the mortar bond coat beneath the tile and supports a slip-resistant thermoplastic rubber wear surface. The tread surface of TREP-SE/-S/-B is available in a variety of colors and can be replaced in case of damage or wear.
The leading edges of TREP-S, TREP-SE and TREP-B have a 5/16" (8 mm) radius. Matching end caps are available.
Schluter TREP-S Features:
Note: Matching corners and connectors are available. Corners 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.
Schluterâ„¢ 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 Schluterâ„¢-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.
