Square Edge proles – The perfect protection
- Information Sheet -
DUROSOL 2/2
DUROSOL Square edge proles in aluminium are used in applications where no exceptional
chemical reaction is expected. Careful handling of cement materials is required to avoid corro-
sion. All residues of mortar, tile cement or joint cement are to be immediately removed from all
visible surfaces because aluminium is sensitive to alkaline media‘s. The prole is to be completely
embedded into the contact layer. This avoids cavities to generate where alkaline water might
accumulate.
DUROSOL Square edge proles of anodised aluminium are of special renement and therefore
the surface is usually not subject to changes. The visible surfaces however, have to be protected
against any cement materials. Damages can occur because of scratching or abrasive objects.
DUROSOL Square edge proles of stainless steel are especially suitable for areas subjected to high
stresses due to chemicals and acids. They meet highest requirements of resistance to mechanical
impact. Stainless steel proles are used in foodstuff industry, swimming pools, in hospitals and
breweries (V4A).
For all products and materials, the following applies: The suitability of the material with regard
to the expected mechanical loading and chemical exposure must be investigated carefully in
each individual case. The generally recognised rules of good engineering practice must always be
observed!
HANDLING:
1. Select DUROSOL Square edge proles according to the tile thickness.
2. Apply tile cement in the appropriate area using a notched trowel.
3. Press DUROSOL Square edge proles into the cement bed and align.
4. Completely level out the fastening legs.
5. Leaving a joint of 2-3 mm towards the prole, press the tiles tightly into the cement bed.
Aligning the tiles so that they are ush with the upper prole edge.
6. Fill the space between tiles and proles completely with joint grout.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
DUROSOL angular closing proles do not require any special care. Oxidation layers on brass and
aluminium proles can be removed with polishing compounds. A permanent removal however, is
not possible. For proles of special steel it is recommended to use chrome polishing solution. It will
provide for a bright appearance. Special steel proles exposed to very aggressive mediums should
be cleaned from time to time with mild cleaning materials. The cleaning materials have to be free
from hydrochloric acid and hydrouoric acid and must not be abrasive.
