Installation

1. Spread a big amount of mortar on the surface to be tiled.
2. Place the profile and align it with the edge or separately at the desired distance. Then press to make the mortar pass through the holes on the anchoring wing.
3. Place the tile on the anchoring wing and align it with the front part(*). Press to ensure an optimal adhesion.
4. Finally, clean immediatly the leftover material and let dry.

If you want to install several consecutive profiles, you can use the special joint piece. It is recommended to leave a gap between profiles more or less 5 mm.

For complete installations, angle pieces are available. You have to place it in the corner and then, using the joint pieces, continue with the installation of the profiles leaving a gap of 5 mm. each side.

(*) We recommend sealing the joint between the profile and the tiles with silicone or polyurethane mastic to avoid posible leaks or cracks and to absorb the expansions and contractions caused by the exposition to thermal variations.

Cleaning and maintenance

This product will be installed outdoors under weather conditions so the rainwater will be a cleaner by itself.

If you prefer cleaning the profile, use water with neutral soap and a soft cloth with no particles to damage the surface.
