This Genesis internal corner piece fits the corresponding quarter-round tile profile and finishes the corner without miter cuts. This version is intended for 10 mm thick tiles. The finish is matte silver.
Product & function
Miter cutting a corner takes time and results in a sharp joint. This corner piece does that work for you: it fits the profile and creates a rounded, safe corner. The profile is extruded from AA 6063 T6 aluminium and anodized according to DIN 17611.
Application & compatibility
This corner piece belongs to the EAQ series of aluminium quarter-round tile profiles. Choose the corner piece in the same thickness and finish as the profile. Therefore, choose the profile first and then the corresponding corner piece.
Use & points of attention
- First, install the profile and leave the corner clear.
- Set the corner piece in the tile adhesive, flush with the profile ends.
- Check that the corner piece is flush with the profile before the adhesive sets.
Aluminium is sensitive to alkalis. Cement-based materials become alkaline in combination with moisture, so remove adhesive and grout residues from visible surfaces and ensure the profile is fully embedded. In the event of chemical or mechanical stress, first check whether aluminium is suitable for the situation. No special maintenance is required. An oxide film can be removed with a standard polishing agent, but it will return. Damaged anodizing can only be repaired by recoating.

Frequently asked questions
Which size corner piece do I need? The same thickness as the profile it fits into. A 10 mm corner piece belongs with a 10 mm profile.
How many corner pieces do I need? One per corner. Count the internal and external corners of your tiled surface and keep a spare on hand.
Must the finish match exactly? Yes. Choose the corner piece and profile in the same finish, otherwise the colour difference at the corner will be visible.
Can this profile withstand moisture? Aluminium is resistant to normal moisture exposure in bathrooms and kitchens. However, be aware of fresh cement and grout residues: they become alkaline with moisture and can damage the surface. Wipe them away while they are still wet.
