Applications

Scope of Novoescocia 4 Aluminum:

• Corners between walls and kitchen countertops.
• Perimeters in shower trays or bathtubes.
• Encounters: wall-floor, wall-wall or wall-ceiling botn horizontally and vertically.

It  is  an  ideal  product  for  bathrooms,  kitchens,  medical  consultations,  restaurants...  It  has  a  versatile  design which is appropriate for homes, offices, public buildings or installations with high requirements of hygiene and cleaning such as garbage rooms, cold storages, communities, etc.

Novoescocia  4  aluminum  helps  to  fulfill  with  the  DB-HS  document  of  the  CTE  (Spanish  Technical  Building Code), improving the value of cleaning and desinfection of the pavements where is installed. 

Materials:

Novoescocia  4  aluminum  is  a  profile  made  by  extrusion  of  aluminum.  Matt  silver  finish  has  been  anodized,  improving  through  this  process  their  corrosion  resistance,  mechanical  resistance  and  appearance.  It  has  the  quality  seal  Qualanod,  which  guarantees  the  quality  of  the  process  and  the  resulting  profiles.  This  seal  regulates  several  tests:  appearance  and  color,  thickness  measurements,  sealing and impregnation control, abrasion resistance, lightfastness, acetic saline chamber and nitric acid immersion.

On the other hand, lacquered finish obtains a high quality and homogeneus surface. The lacquering has the quality seal Qualicoat, which guarantees the quality of the process and the final products.

Aluminum has excellent chemical, physical and mechanical properties. It is lightweight, tough, ductile, malleable and highly durable.

The  complementary  pieces  of  Novoescocia  4  aluminum  are  made  of  Zamak.  The  zamak  is  a  non  ferrous  alloy  of  zinc  with  aluminium,  magnesium  and  copper  (UNE  EN  1774).  It  is  tough,  has  high  hardness, high mechanical strength and excellent plastic deformability.

Installation

Please, clean the surface destinated to the installation of Novoescocia 4 aluminum:

1. Cover generously the back face of Novoescocia 4 aluminum with an adhesive silicone type “MS Sealing/Express Adhesive” from Fischer or similar.
2. Fill also the posterior cavity with the same adhesive to ensure a perfect sealing and good grip.
3. Place the Novoescocia 4 aluminum on the corner and press firmly ensuring a good contact between both surfaces
4. Finally clean the remaining material and let dry.

* In humid environments or in direct touch with water, it is recommended to seal the joints between Novoescocias with silicones.

Cleaning and maintenance

The cleaning must be done periodically with a soft cloth. If you use a neutral liquid cleaner, you must rinse the profile with cold water and dry to remove excess moisture. If dirtiness persists, clean the profile with a solution with clean water and detergent or neutral soap 5%, brushing with a cloth that has no particles that could scracht the finish. Ensure the lacquered surface is totally cold (maximum 20ºC) before the cleaning.

Steel wool, abrasive cleaners, souring products as well as strong acids (hydrochloric and perchloric),strong bases (caustic soda or ammonia) or carbonated solutions are not recommended. Citric acid is neither recommended because disolves the protective layer of the surface of aluminium. Waxes, petrolatum, lanolin or similar substances are not appropriate. Solvents containing haloalkanes (hydrofluoroether and chlorinated solvents) and curing accelerators containing chlorides should not be used (use special accelerators free of chlorides).
