PROVA TILE EDGE®
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare PROVA TILE EDGE®
Step 1:
Measure the thickness of the tile that will be installed with PROVA TILE
EDGE®. PROVA TILE EDGE® may be fitted to tiles of various thicknesses,
including stone or handmade tile.
To account for differences in tile thickness, use the measure of the thickest
tile to match the size to the appropriate height of
PROVA TILE EDGE®. Use the appropriate tile edge size to suit the tile and
mortar thickness.
Note: The profile height of the selected PROVA TILE EDGE® should not be
any more than 1/32” greater than the thickness of the tile and mortar
assembly. This will ensure that the tiles are flush with the PROVA TILE EDGE®.
Step 2:
Measure and cut the PROVA TILE EDGE® to the required length for the project.
PROVA TILE EDGE® can be mitered or finished with PROVA® ceramic corners.
Use a fine-toothed hack saw or a fine metal blade on a miter saw to make cuts
to the tile edge. Stone or a fine file can be used to remove any burrs on the
cut edges of the PROVA TILE EDGE®.
Step 3:
Complete the preparation of the PROVA TILE EDGE® by dry fitting each profile.
Install PROVA TILE EDGE® and Tiles
Step 1:
Trowel thinset mortar along the substrate to be tiled. Lay the anchoring
flange of the PROVA TILE EDGE® into the thinset along the edges of the
substrate to be tiled. Ensure that the tile edge is firmly embedded into the
thinset. Repeat this step for each tile edge.
Step 2:
Spread an additional layer of thinset over the flange of the PROVA TILE EDGE®.
Attention: Due to the corrosive and caustic nature of certain ingredients in
many mortars, it is imperative that any residue be immediately removed from
the surface of the trim to prevent discoloration.
Install Tiles
Step 1:
Lay the tiles along the PROVA TILE EDGE®, making sure the top of the tile is
flush with the top of each tile edge. PROVA TILE EDGE® allows the installer to
choose the grout spacing that best suits the installation.
Attention: Due to the corrosive and caustic nature of certain ingredients in
many mortars, it is imperative that any residue be immediately removed from
the surface of the trim to prevent discoloration.
Step 2:
After the thinset has dried and all the tiles have been set, grout between the
tiles and where they meet the PROVA TILE EDGE®.
Attention: Due to the corrosive and caustic nature of certain ingredients
in many grouts, it is imperative that any residue be immediately removed from
the surface of the trim to prevent discoloration.
