Description
Overview
Schluter SCHIENE protects an exposed tile edge with a narrow, unobtrusive metal finish. It is especially useful where a tile floor meets a neighboring covering at the same level. The sloped profile leg transfers edge loads into the assembly while the visible reveal keeps the transition visually restrained.
Features
- Protects the tile edge at exposed terminations.
- Narrow reveal for a minimal metal accent.
- Material and profile-height choices suit different tile assemblies.
What's Included
- One SCHIENE edge-trim length, 8 ft. 2-1/2 in., in the selected height and material/finish

Applications
Use at a tile-floor edge, a transition to an adjacent covering, or another edge detailed for SCHIENE.
Finish and Application Selection
Textured color-coated finishes are suitable for floor installations in residential applications only. Smooth color-coated, bright-black and brushed-graphite finishes are wall selections; verify the chosen finish for the intended location. Not every height is offered in every finish.
Plan Your Installation
- Identify the exposed tile edge and measure each run before planning cuts from the 2.5 m length.
- Choose the profile height and material for the actual tile assembly and location.
- Coordinate the narrow visible edge with the tile layout; the approximately 3 mm exposed surface is different from the profile’s height.
- Curved installations require the appropriate radius-perforated version. A standard straight length should not be assumed to have that preparation, and edge trim does not replace a required movement joint.
Common Planning Questions
Does the narrow visible edge determine tile thickness?
No. Select the profile height for the tile assembly; the visible surface is a separate dimension.
Are all finishes the same metal?
Material depends on the option. Match the product material to the application and care requirements.
