Best practice is for the profile to sit about 1mm below the tile surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I fit it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpread adhesive with a notched trowel, bed the perforated flange firmly so the adhesive pushes through the holes, then spread adhesive over the anchoring legs and bed the tiles up to the joint.
