Flexible tile profiles for bending

Flexible tile profiles - Flexibility meets functionality

When are flexible tile strips used?

Flexible tile profiles are special profiles used to install tiles on walls, corners, and edges that are not straight. They are used to install tiles on corners, edges, and curves where conventional rigid profiles cannot be adapted. Flexible tile strips are often used with tiles having rounded edges and protect their edge contours.

Flexible tile strips are particularly useful when laying tiles on curved or bent surfaces, such as in round showers, arches, columns or round walls. They enable precise and clean tile laying and ensure an aesthetically pleasing and professional finish.

These special profiles are available in many different versions, tailored to the individual requirements of the installation. They can be selected in various sizes, shapes and materials such as aluminum, stainless steel and plastic, thus offering a wide range of design options for every installation.

Flexible tile profiles in our range.

We offer flexible tile profiles in a variety of materials, designs, surfaces and heights. The considerable height selection, especially with our aluminum profiles, is particularly noteworthy!

Our flexible strips are available in the following heights:

1. 2 mm
2. 3 mm
3. 4.5 mm
4. 5 mm
5. 6 mm
6. 8 mm
7. 9 mm
8. 10 mm
9. 11 mm
10. 12.5 mm
11. 15 mm
12. 18 mm
13. 18.5 mm
14. 20 mm
15. 22 mm
16. 25 mm
17. 27.5 mm
18. 30 mm

Aluminum: Our flexible angle profiles, quarter-circle profiles, and square profiles made of aluminum are designed, like their rigid counterparts, to serve as finishing profiles for walls and floors. The main difference is that they can also be easily used on curves. The bendable aluminum angle profile in natural finish, for example, has a narrow visible edge and is available from us in heights between 2 and 30 mm. You can choose between an unworked and a silver anodized surface in our shop.

Stainless Steel: If you expect particularly high mechanical stresses, we recommend our flexible angle brackets made of V2A stainless steel . Stainless steel profiles are insensitive to water, moisture and chemicals and retain their attractive appearance even with frequent use. Furthermore, stainless steel profiles are very hygienic and easy to clean. Here you can choose between an untreated and a brushed surface.

Brass : Furthermore, we also have a flexible brass angle profile in our range. Brass profiles have a warm and elegant look and are ideally suited for use in interior spaces, especially in living areas and foyers. The DURAL bendable brass angle profile is, due to its material, a very durable and resistant product that can also be used in harsh environments due to its excellent mechanical properties.

Application & Processing of Flexible Tile Profiles

Always choose tile strips 1-2mm higher than the tiles you want to lay. They are suitable both for secure tile edge protection and for cleanly separating different coverings. The profiles can be bent by hand without any problems, but we recommend using a tile cutter to make the work easier and further improve precision.

Curver for bending tile strips

A curver is a bending tool to make working with flexible (bendable) tile profiles easier.

The curver with crank is suitable for bending all tile profiles, as well as for bending selected skirting boards (unfortunately this is not possible with skirting boards with cable channels) and T-shaped transition profiles.

Curver operating instructions:

1. The Curver is fixed to the worktop or similar with the supplied screw clamps.
2. The bending disc is moved away from the support rollers using the rotary knob. Then the profile is inserted so that it rests against both support rollers. (The first 15 cm are bent manually or removed). Then loosen the guide roller with the supplied key.
3. By moving the bending disc using the rotary knob, the profile is pre-bent to the desired radius.
4. Now the guide roller is pressed against the profile and tightened in this position. Then, using the rotary knob, the bending disc and thus the profile are moved again against the guide roller until a slight clamping effect is achieved. To prevent the profile from twisting and the bending roller from being damaged, the profile must be secured with the flat brackets.
5. By rotating the bending disc and simultaneously guiding the profile, a constant radius is now created.
6. If the profile is to be bent with the stamping facing outwards, the two flat holders must be repositioned. The guide roller and support rollers must have the beveled side facing upwards.

You can find detailed instructions for use of the Curver and the Curver with crank in the product description!
