What is a slope wedge?
The slope wedge is used in walk-in showers to cover the side tile edge when a slope is created on only one side. Additionally, the side edge of the slope wedge provides an appropriate inclination profile. A slope wedge is used to clad the side edges of walk-in showers. It is crucial to determine whether the slope wedge is needed for the left or right side. We offer the appropriate profile for both sides.
What material is the Dalsys slope wedge made of?
The Dalsys slope wedge is made of high-quality, acid-resistant stainless steel. Stainless steel, as the chosen material, is corrosion-resistant and highly durable against the chemicals found in cleaning agents. This makes the slope wedge extremely long-lasting and ensures a high lifespan.
What differentiates the slope wedge from the slope wedge U-profile?
Unlike the slope wedge without a glass rail insert, the slope wedge U-profile is designed to hold a glass partition wall, which serves as an additional privacy screen for the easily accessible shower. A suitable glass pane is inserted into the pre-formed slot, functioning as both a privacy and splash guard. Glass panes are typically fixed in place using silicone adhesive.
How is a slope wedge installed?
Start by cutting the stainless steel rails to the desired length using a metal cutting disc specifically designed for this type of rail. Then, apply tile adhesive generously in the transition area and place the shower profile with the integrated slope. Next, spread the tile adhesive evenly and carefully set the tiles in place.
For the slope profile that allows for glass insertion (U-profile), you additionally insert the glass pane and ensure it is securely fixed with silicone adhesive. If trimming is required, it is best to make the cut at the highest point of the slope wedge.
How much slope is required in a walk-in shower?
The required slope for a level-access shower ranges between one and two percent. This means that the height difference for a 100-centimeter-wide shower is a maximum of two centimeters.
