Tile strips - the special profiles!

Tile profiles and their applications

Tile profiles are mostly used to protect the edges of tiles, thus preventing possible damage. However, tile profiles are quite flexible in their application. Tile profiles can be used under the tile, as well as on top of the tile. There are also certain... Special profiles , such as worktop profiles, decorative profiles, corner protection angles and expansion joint profiles.

The tile profile

The most common special profiles are worktop profiles, decorative profiles, corner protection angles and expansion joint profiles.

Care of tile profiles

Tile profiles require no special care. Soiling can be removed with commercially available cleaning agents. Cleaning agents must not contain hydrochloric acid or hydrofluoric acid and must not be abrasive. The manufacturer's care instructions must be followed.

The worktop profile

The kitchen is in use every day. This also includes the kitchen worktops. On this surface, chopping, washing dishes, and cooking take place, among other things. The person working often leans against the edges of the worktops with their body. To prevent this from having unpleasant consequences for people and materials, there is our... Worktop profile . This profile reduces the risk of injury for you and your children, as sharp edges are optimally covered by the rounded profile. Furthermore, it helps protect the sensitive tile covering from potential damage. Especially in the kitchen, the tile covering is exposed to many stresses and can quickly become damaged or worn. Because the profiles are made of aluminum, they offer sufficiently high strength and thus optimally protect the damage-prone tiles or worktops from external influences. In addition to its protective function, the worktop profile is also used for aesthetic reasons, as it offers various design options. On the one hand, you can visually distinguish yourself from other elements in the room with the worktop profile, or you can coordinate the color with existing elements to achieve a uniform design in the room. The worktop profile, also called a finishing profile, offers further advantages. The profile is firmly anchored in the mortar bed of the actual tile and thus provides a secure hold.

You can find the worktop profile in silver and titanium anodized. Of course, we also have the appropriate accessories, such as outer and inner corners and end caps.

Worktop profiles can be used flexibly. They are mostly found in the kitchen, hobby room or workshop.

The decorative profile

Setting accents and giving boring rooms that certain something – that is the task of Decorative profiles . With the decorative profile, you can give modern rooms a touch of timeless elegance and create a cozy atmosphere.

Nowadays, tile trims are increasingly being incorporated into tile decoration. To ensure the best possible fit for everyone, we offer our decorative profiles in various materials, finishes, and widths in our online shop. From classic decorative profiles with wood inserts to modern tile profiles made of stainless steel or aluminum. You're sure to find what you're looking for with us.

Decorative profiles made of stainless steel

Profiles made of this material are often used in bathrooms. The shiny tile profile gives boring rooms a modern and exciting look and stands out particularly well with dark tiles. In combination with other stainless steel elements in the bathroom, the decorative profile complements the overall look of the room. We offer our decorative stainless steel profile in many different surfaces and textures.

Decorative profiles made of aluminum

Aluminum tile trims are a more affordable alternative to stainless steel. These profiles are available with visible widths of 10 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm. Therefore, they are narrower than the 25 mm visible width of our stainless steel decorative profiles. We offer our aluminum decorative profile in various colors and finishes.

Wood decor profiles

Wooden profiles are the most classic form of our decorative profiles. Here we combine modern aluminum with an inlay of solid real wood. We offer our DURAL decorative profile with wood inlay in various colors, heights and widths.

Expansion joint profiles

Expansion joint profiles are ideal for use on screed joints or anywhere where stresses in the floor need to be compensated.

These tile profiles are equipped with an EPDM insert and can thus absorb the movements of the floor and prevent stress cracks on tiles. The fact is, every substrate expands or contracts depending on the temperature. That's why it's all the more important Expansion joint profiles to be used when there are different types of subfloors where the new flooring is to be installed.

When installing expansion joint profiles, it is important that the profiles do not protrude from the floor, but also should not sink into the floor. A flush finish is optimal. To achieve this, always choose your tile strips 1 mm higher than the tiles.

We offer expansion joint profiles made of aluminum, stainless steel and PVC in various heights. You can also opt for tile profiles that are suitable for retrofitting.

Corner protection angle

The name says it all. Corner protectors protect corners and edges and are also suitable for covering already damaged edges while preventing new damage. Corner protection angle It is useful wherever corner areas are subjected to heavy stress, e.g. in high-traffic areas such as hallways or entrance areas of hotels or hospitals.

In our online shop, we offer you a single-folded and a triple-folded corner protection strip. At first glance, both look very similar, but on closer inspection you can clearly see the additional edges. These provide a clean finish on the wall and offer a smoother transition.

With us, you can find corner protection profiles in stainless steel or aluminum. You also have a large selection of different surfaces, colors, and heights.
