DESIGNBASE-SL is applied to prepared walls using KERDI-FIX or other suitable adhesive. Prior to applying the adhesive, make sure that all surfaces are free from adhesion-inhibiting substances such as oil or grease. 2. Apply beads of adhesive to the back of the profile and press the profile into the wall, ensuring solid contact throughout. In the case of the stainless steel version, apply adhesive above and below the foam spacer; see illustration.3. Aluminum accessories must be slid on the profiles during installation. Stainless steel accessories must be applied on top after the profile is installed. Install corners, connectors, and end caps using a permanently elastic waterproof adhesive (e.g., KERDI-FIX or silicone). Prior to application, any contact inhibiting substances (e.g. grease, etc.) must be removed. 4. Use a suitable cleaning agent to remove any excess adhesive from around the profile. Remove the protective foil. Note: The optional sealing lip is inserted into the profile prior to installation. The lip must be pressed firmly into the profile (from the front for the aluminum version and from the rear for the stainless steel version) so that the front edge of the sealing lip is flush with the profile.
