Applications of the upper edge clip
The SlimEasy upper edge clip is characterized by two main areas of application:
Securing the outermost row of plates
The outermost row of slabs is considered a critical area in any rail construction. As soon as an edge slab shifts, the stability of the entire terrace surface is compromised. The upper edge clip provides a solution here. mechanical lock, which eliminates this risk. The only alternative to mechanical securing with clips is gluing the edge plates with our hybrid adhesive in question.
Device for creating an edge closure
Besides providing security, the clip also serves as a guide for the lateral facing. There are two primary ways to do this:
First: Between the upper and the optional lower edge clip, hang a vertical end plate This allows for a uniform look and perfectly conceals even difficult slopes on the sides of the terrace. We offer suitable clips for both 2 cm and 3 cm thick slabs.


Secondly: Alternatively, hang the vertical one. Edge finishing system “Sideline” into the clip. These coated aluminum panels are available in heights of 6, 8, 10 and 12 cm.


Assembly: How to attach the Slim Easy top edge clip
Required tools
| Tools | application |
|---|---|
| 🔌 Drill with Torx attachment | For screwing the upper edge clips directly into the rail system. |
| ⚙️ Angle grinder with cutting disc | With a porcelain stoneware cutting disc for precise cutting of the edge tiles (if required). |
Installation is simple and safe, directly on the rail system. Follow these steps for optimal results:
- Starting point: At the edges, two base profiles usually abut directly. The pedestals were cut at the bottom to position the base profiles as close to the edge as possible.

- Mount the clip: Now place the Slim Easy upper edge clip in the designated position.

- Attach joint plates: To ensure the correct tile spacing, install the joint plate. Then remove the two side joint tabs by manually snapping them off.

- Put on the first record: Now place the first tile of the edge row onto the prepared structure.

- Conclusion: Next, lay the remaining slabs to complete the edge finish.

Planning via the configurator
Use our online configurator to automatically determine the exact number of edge clips required. The tool detects all exposed outer edges and walls and calculates the precise quantity needed, including the necessary corner clips, based on your panel dimensions. This ensures you have a complete bill of materials.

Scope and system
This clip is specifically for the Slim Easy base joist Designed for use along house walls and on all external edges not secured by building-provided boundaries such as curbs or steel profiles, this clip is ideal. The "Sideline" aluminum edge trim system can also be attached to the clip.
Please note: The Slim Easy upper edge clip for 3cm panels is made of 1,5mm thick stainless steel. Therefore, additional bonding of the edge panels with our hybrid adhesive is absolutely necessary!

Planning notes / Material requirements
Attach the clips to each joint along the outer edge of the slabs. Pay particular attention to the corners of your patio: additional clips are required here to ensure the corner slabs remain stable and do not slip diagonally.
Manual calculation of the required clips per page:
Number of laid tiles + 1
Example: 6 tiles laid on one side: 7 edge clips required
Care / Maintenance
Thanks to its high-quality stainless steel construction, the product is maintenance-free. We simply recommend checking that the locking screws are securely fastened during your annual patio cleaning.

How many edge clips do I need to plan for in my project?
Basically, you need: one clip per plate joint on all free outer edges and along house walls. A clip secures the edges of two abutting panels. Don't forget the corner areas: Here we recommend additional clips per corner plate (one per side) to counteract the diagonal forces.

Why is the top edge clip so important for my patio?
The outermost row of plates is the static weak point of any rail construction. Because these plates are "open" on one side, they can shift due to loads or thermal stresses. upper edge clip It forms a mechanical barrier that prevents the entire terrace surface from slipping, thus ensuring the long-term stability of your flooring.
