DILEX-BWA Dark Anthracite PVC Tile Edge Trim, 98.5 in.
The Schluter DILEX-BWA perimeter joint profile isolates tile coverings from fixed building elements to accommodate movement and prevent stress cracks. Made from durable PVC with a dark anthracite movement zone, it’s ideal along bathtubs, shower trays, backsplashes, and around door or window frames.
Key Features:
- Movement Accommodation: Decouples tiles from fixed building elements to reduce stress and prevent cracking or delamination.
- No Caulk Needed: Integrated movement zone eliminates the need for messy, maintenance-prone caulking at perimeters.
- Durable PVC Construction: Rigid PVC with a dovetailed channel bonds securely for long-lasting performance.
- Grout-Matching Colors: Movement zone offered in multiple colors to coordinate with grout for a seamless look.
- Ideal Applications: Use at bathtubs, shower trays, and along countertops, backsplashes, doors, and windows.

A Sleek Finish That Moves With Your Design
This profile delivers a clean, architectural line that quietly elevates tiled perimeters. I love the dark anthracite accent—it reads modern while disappearing into sophisticated grout palettes. Run it along a marble-clad tub deck or a glossy backsplash for a tailored edge that never asks for caulk. It’s the subtle, functional luxury every refined bath and kitchen deserves.
