Novopeldaño® Maxi

Applications

Novopeldaño® Maxi is a prole designed to be installed as stair nosing. Its particular visible side

provides a high resistance to slip, helping to fulll with the DB-SUA of the CTE (Spanish Technical

Building Code) by improving the value of slip resistance of the ooring where it is installed.

The installation of Maxi outdoors, could result in a variation of its original color, being signicantly

higher in the range of the redish colors. To avoid color variations due to the continuous sun exposure,

we recommend the installation of the Maxi range indoors. For outdoor installations we recommend the

MaxiKenya range, that has an excellent weatherability and remains unalterable under sun exposure.

TECHNICAL FILE Novopeldaño® Maxi Slip resistance Very good. UNE-ENV 12633:2003 Slip resistance Very good. See graph below. DIN 51130 Slip resistance DIN51130 We have tested our Novopeldaño® Maxi under the DIN 51130 standard, to certify its good properties of slip resistance. This reference had been already tested before under the Spanish standard UNEENV 12633:2003, which is the one required by the CTE (Spanish Technical Building Code). The tests were carried out in several panels (1000x500 mm.

TECHNICAL FILE Novopeldaño® Maxi We did not consider testing R11 or R12 flooring. The R11 and R12 are highly secure and non-sliding floorings, so we can extrapolate that our stair nosings in combination with R11 floorings maybe will not improve more but surely maintain the initial classification of the flooring. Please, take into account that our profiles are not certifiable by themselves. Our Novopeldaño® Maxi is not a profile classified as R9 or R10.

The correct use of bleach doesn’t affect the material. It is not recommended to use chromic or sulphuric acids or polar solvents as toluene or acetone for its cleaning.
