Stone edge profile 20 mm Detal-met KAM20

Detal-met Stone edge profile 20 mm (KAM20) is a 20 mm-thick metal profile designed for finishing and protecting exposed edges of natural and engineered stone. Intended for use on countertops, window sills, steps and cladding edges, this profile creates a consistent 20 mm visible edge that conceals and protects the cut stone surface while providing a neat transition at joints. The profile is suitable for residential interiors and light commercial stonework where a robust, low-profile edge treatment is required.

Advantages

The stone edge profile delivers precise 20 mm thickness alignment for uniform appearance along horizontal and vertical stone edges. Its metal construction increases mechanical protection of vulnerable edges against chipping and wear, and it simplifies finishing by giving installers a defined surface to align adhesives and sealants. The profile supports easier joint finishing and contributes to longer-lasting stone installations when used with appropriate adhesives and sealants.

Suitable for

• Kitchen and bathroom countertops with 20 mm stone thickness
• Window sills and interior ledges finished with natural or engineered stone
• Steps and stair treads where a protected 20 mm exposed edge is needed
• Stone cladding edges and niche trims in residential and light commercial projects

Key specifications

• Visible edge thickness: 20 mm
• Material: metal profile suitable for stone edge protection (compatible with natural and engineered stone)
• Typical applications: horizontal and vertical stone edges including countertops, sills, steps and cladding
• Function: edge protection, joint definition and finishing aid

How to use

Measure and cut the profile to the required length using appropriate metal cutting tools, ensuring a clean, square cut. Position the profile against the prepared stone edge and fix it with an adhesive recommended for stone-to-metal bonding or with mechanical fasteners where appropriate. Ensure the stone surface and profile contact area are clean, dry and free of dust or loose particles. After securing the profile, finish joints with a suitable stone-compatible sealant or grout to achieve a continuous, neat appearance. Allow adhesives and sealants to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before subjecting the installation to regular use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use adhesives and sealants formulated for stone and metal interfaces, and verify compatibility with the specific stone type. During installation, protect visible stone surfaces from scratches by masking adjacent areas and use fine abrasive finishing only when necessary. For exterior or high-moisture applications, select corrosion-resistant fixation methods and materials to maintain long-term performance.
