JOLLY - Decorative aluminum or brass corners edging profile

Edging profile that protects the external corners of tiled wall surfaces against damage. The range of available sizes and finishes permits the matching of the profile to a wide variety of tile and grout colours, or allows many design opportunities through the use of contrasting colours.

Other applications include dado coverings and transitions for coverings such as carpet, natural stone, or epoxy resin coverings for wall areas.

In addition to the profile’s decorative effect, the tiles are protected against damage caused by mechanical stresses along the edges. The integrated joint spacer forms a defined joint cavity with the tile.

Material

Schlüter JOLLY is available in the following materials and finishes:

• MC = Chrome plated brass
• ACG = Polished chrome anodised aluminium
• AMG = Polished brass anodised aluminium
• AC = Colour coated aluminium

Note: Profiles in brass, aluminium, anodised aluminium and stainless steel are included in the Schlüter SCHIENE range.

Material properties and areas of application

In special cases, the suitability of a proposed type of profile must be verified, based on anticipated chemical, mechanical and/or other stresses.

Schlüter JOLLY-MC (chrome plated solid brass)
is a finishing profile that is especially well suited for wall corners and transitions. It is ideal for matching chrome fixtures.
Surface areas must be protected against abrasion or scratching. Remove all mortar and grouting material immediately.

Schlüter JOLLY-AC (colour coated aluminium):
The aluminium is pretreated (chromated), then colour coated with a polyurethane powder coat. The coating is colour stable, UV resistant, and suitable for exterior use. Protect the profile against abrasion or scratching.

Schlüter JOLLY-ACG / -AMG (anodised aluminium):
The aluminium features a surface refined by an anodised layer that does not alter during normal use. Surface areas must be protected against abrasion or scratching. Cementitious materials, in conjunction with moisture, become alkaline. Since aluminium is sensitive to alkaline substances, exposure to the alkali (depending on the concentration and penetration time) may result in corrosion (aluminium hydroxide formation). For this reason, remove mortar or grouting material immediately from all visible areas and do not cover freshly installed coverings until adhesive and grout have dried. In addition, ensure that the profile is solidly embedded in the setting material to prevent alkaline water from accumulating in small cavities.

Installation

1. Select Schlüter JOLLY according to tile thickness.
2. Apply tile adhesive to the area where the tile covering will end, using a notched trowel. If Schlüter JOLLY is to be installed in wall corners, complete the tiling of one wall, then apply tile adhesive in the corner area of the second wall.
3. Press the perforated anchoring leg of the Schlüter JOLLY into the tile adhesive and align.
4. Trowel additional adhesive over the perforated anchoring leg to ensure full coverage.
5. Firmly press the adjoining tiles into place and adjust them in such a way that the upper lip of the profile is flush with the tile. Ensure full coverage when setting tiles in the profile area.
6. The tile is set to the lateral joint spacer, which ensures a uniform joint of 1.5 mm. With the stainless steel profiles, leave a space of approximately 1.5 mm.
7. Fill the joint completely with grout.
8. Work with materials and tools that will not scratch or damage sensitive surfaces. Setting materials must be removed immediately, especially on aluminium.

Maintenance

Schlüter JOLLY does not require any special maintenance. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents on sensitive areas. Damaged anodised surfaces can be restored with paint.
