Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1918486A2] The edging strip (2) for tiles (6, 7) comprises a curved profile (20). The base of the profile has an extended horizontal section (8) which fits under the horizontal tiles and partially overlaps the edge of the uppermost vertical tile. A vertical inner section (12) of the profile rests against the edge of the outer tile. Wedge-shaped gaps (28, 30) between the profile and the outer edges of the tiles can be filled with sealant.
