Schlüter DILEX-BWB in Cream is a practical PVC movement joint profile designed for tiled wall and floor installations. It helps absorb movement within the tiled surface, reducing the risk of cracks, stress marks, tenting, or damage caused by expansion and contraction.

The soft Cream finish is ideal for beige, ivory, stone-effect, limestone-effect, travertine, marble-effect, and neutral tile designs. It provides a more subtle finish than bright white or dark trims, making it a good choice for warm-toned interiors where a clean but discreet movement joint is required.

Where It Works Best

DILEX-BWB Cream is suitable for internal tiled areas where movement joints are required, including bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, utility rooms, living areas, commercial floors, and larger tiled spaces. It is especially useful where the tiled surface may be exposed to regular foot traffic, temperature changes, underfloor heating, or substrate movement.

The Cream colour is particularly well suited to natural-look tile schemes, including limestone-effect porcelain, beige marble-effect tiles, travertine-style tiles, warm stone designs, and classic neutral ceramic or porcelain tiles.

Choosing the Correct Height

Select the DILEX-BWB profile height according to the thickness of your tile. The profile should sit neatly level with the tile surface once installed. This Cream version is available in six heights: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12.5mm, 15mm and 20mm, making it suitable for a wide range of ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tile thicknesses.

Installation Notes

The anchoring legs of the profile should be embedded into the tile adhesive during installation, with the tiles fitted neatly against the profile edges. Movement joints should be planned and positioned in accordance with tiling requirements, room size, substrate type, and expected movement within the tiled surface.

For larger floor areas, heated floors, door thresholds, perimeter zones, or areas where different substrates meet, movement joints are particularly important to help protect the finished tiled installation.
