Our take on the RENO-U 3/8" Satin Anodized Aluminum Tile Reducer

The Schluter RENO-U is an aluminum transition strip that ramps a 3/8-inch tile floor down to a lower adjoining floor. The sloped profile covers the tile edge and removes the trip lip a bare edge leaves. The perforated anchoring leg beds in thinset under the tile, and the satin anodized finish resists scuffs in doorways. At $22.08 at The Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, it is the lowest of the four new prices we track.

About the RENO-U 3/8" Satin Anodized Aluminum Tile Reducer

The RENO-U tile reducer creates a sloped transition from a tile floor down to an adjoining floor at a lower height, or finishes a tile edge that meets a lower surface. The gentle ramp protects the tile edge and removes the trip lip you'd get from a bare edge.

Made for 3/8" tile, the satin anodized aluminum finish shrugs off scuffs and traffic in doorways and room-to-room transitions. Bed the perforated anchoring leg in thinset beneath the tile during installation, then finish the lower flooring against the ramp.

Clean transitions separate a pro floor from an amateur one, and the RENO profiles make them easy. Tile Outlets keeps the RENO-U reducers in the tile heights installers need.

Questions and answers

Is the RENO-U worth it over a plain edge?
Yes for most floors. The ramp protects the tile edge and removes the trip lip, which a bare cut edge leaves. It costs little more than a basic trim and looks finished.
What tile thickness does it fit?
This one is made for 3/8-inch tile. Schluter sells other RENO-U sizes for different tile heights, so match the profile to your tile.
How is it installed?
Bed the perforated leg in thinset under the tile edge during installation, then butt the lower flooring against the ramp. It goes in with the tile, not after.
Can I use it on stairs or a step down?
It is designed for floor-to-floor transitions and exposed tile edges. For stair nosings, Schluter's stair-nosing profiles are the better fit.
When is the price lowest?
At $22.08 at The Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, it is the lowest of the four new prices we track. Watch for tile-supply sales, since trim prices move less than tile itself.
Where is the RENO-U 3/8" Satin Anodized Aluminum Tile Reducer cheapest?
At The Home Depot, for $22.08, as of our latest check.
