Creative design with light and ceramic tiles

Iserlohn / Bologna.Setting exclusive accents – the illuminated profiles of the new Schlüter^®-LIPROTEC system have received enthusiastic praise since their introduction earlier this year. The Iserlohn-based company expanded its stand in Bologna by 30% to appropriately present the innovative technology. The expanded space gives visitors a comprehensive overview of the design options with light and ceramic tiles.

The illuminated profile technology has enormous potential, as accentuated lighting "from within the wall" allows for customising space in accordance with user preferences. The options of daylight, warm white light, or coloured ambient lighting create the perfect atmosphere at any time.

The system's LED lighting strips are manufactured specifically for Schlüter-Systems and create particularly homogeneous lighting. They are mostly cast and comply with protection class IP 65, which makes them highly durable and suited for use in moist environments. The LED strips retain their protection class rating even when they are cut to size–an enormous plus for individual design. The lighting technology is embedded in high-quality aluminium profiles, which are anchored in the tile adhesive during tile installation.

The illuminated profile technology comes in five intelligent profile geometries, which are suited for a wide range of installation situations:

·         Edges of platforms and countertops

·         Illumination of skirtings

·         Illuminated edges of wall coverings and skirting tiles

·         Illumination of wall panels and on-wall installations

·         Illuminated frames of flush decorative objects and mirrors

For a quick project start, convenient full sets are available for the illumination of edges and wall panels.

State-of-the-art control technology, combined with wireless switches, allows for easy and comfortable operation. The switches can be mounted anywhere in the room and not only allow for switching the light on and off, but also have a variable dimmer function. The switch variety with seven channels offers individual control of the LED strips with regard to the colour temperature of white LEDs and LED colour in RGB mode. The switch covers are made of high-quality, genuine glass, or brushed stainless steel.

With Schlüter^®-LIPROTEC, Schlüter-Systems for the first time introduces an illuminated profile technology system. 

LIPROTEC allows for the individual illumination of various structural components, such as the edges of platforms.
