Schlüter-DILEX-F is a prefabricated plastic movement carrier profile with a very narrow, exchangeable soft zone insert made of special silicone for installation in tiled coverings. This insert comes in 10 different colours.
The lateral, trapezoidal perforated anchoring legs, made of recycled rigid PVC, are secured in the tile adhesive beneath the tiles where they transmit any movements that occur to the movement zone.
The movement zone absorbs compressive and tensile stresses. The subsequently introduced, special silicone movement zone with integrated anti-stretch thread, is approx. 3.5mm wide when installed, matching common grout joint widths.
The narrow width of the movement zone absorbs relatively limited movements; this should be taken into account when evaluating the requirements for a specific application. DILEX-F can be installed as a movement joint in tiled coverings. We recommend using it in conjunction with our uncoupling membranes from the Schlüter-DITRA product family.
If greater movements of the tiled construction are to be expected, we are also happy to refer you to alternative products of the DILEX product range, e.g. Schlüter-DILEX-KS.
In addition to residential applications, DILEX-F can also be installed in areas with moderate traffic loads, such as offices/salesrooms or car showrooms.
Schlüter-DILEX-F is resistant to fungi and bacteria and requires no special maintenance or care. It can be cleaned with regular household detergents when cleaning the tile covering.
Please Note: This listing is for the silicone inset only, carrier profile (FCS) sold separately.
