Schluter Systems offers a trim solution for wall and floor tile creating a beautiful finish for both commercial and residential tile installs!
Where did Schluter System get it's name?
"In 1966 a young Master Tile Setter named Werner Schlüter embarked on his first business venture: founding Schluter Tile. A few years later, Mr. Schlüter developed a product that would revolutionize not only his work as a tile setter, but the industry as a whole: Schluter®-SCHIENE, a metal finishing profile designed to prevent tile edges from chipping. From these humble beginnings the company has evolved to a global organization with seven subsidiaries and 1,100 employees."
