The flange on the NLT profile sits snuggly underneath the tile and the top section or tread protects the riser tile and prevents water ingress into the joint gap. The top section also provides a perfect step edge with a grooved profile face for extra grip. Finally the top section has a small lip to further protect the top edge of the tile and prevent damage.

How do I fit the Genesis Tile-In Aluminium Outdoor Step Edge Profile ?
To fit Genesis step edge tiling profiles, ensure that the base of the tile being applied is positioned onto the logo punched flange of the trim which has perforated sections to allow for tile adhesive to pass through. Position the hollow inside edge of the tile trim against the side of the profile and the flat front face of the trim should be flush with the grooved front face of the tile-in step edge.
How do you cut Genesis Tile-In Aluminium Outdoor Step Edge Profile ?
We recommend using a Mitre block tool and a hand saw with our tile trims and profiled to acheive an accurate clean cut. You can find more information about mitre blocks and our cutting tools in the related products section at the bottom of the page.
What products do I use to clean my tile trim ?
No specific cleaning products are required to maintain and clean your tile-in profiles. We simply recommend using a soft cloth or duster and a everyday cleaning product like polish to remove any smears, stains or finger prints.
How do I know whichprofile size will fit my tiles?
To work out the required profile depth to fit your tiles we recommend the following. First measure the depth of your tile in mm and then add an extra 2mm onto this measurement to allow for your tile adhesive. This calculation will provide you with the correct trim depth for your tiles. e.g. 20mm tile depth + 2mm adhesive = 22.5mm deep profile.
How do I work out how many lengths of tile-in step edging I will need ?
The easiest way to work out how many profile lengths you will need is to measuring the length and height of the tiled area with a tape measure and add these measurements together. This calculation should give you the overall amount of tile trim required in linear metres. Our trims are usually supplied in either 2.5 Metre or 2.7 Metre lengths offering better coverage for larger tiled areas.
