Maxi is a composite material formed by PVC and vegetable bers. Those bers proceed from recycling
of organic waste from agriculture. The waste reduction and the recycling of materials, help Maxi to fulll
with the Emac’s commitment with the Environment and the sustainable construction.
Maxi has an original nish, similar to wood and natural elements, which adapts to different decorative
environments. The main advantage of this composite is that has the best qualities of PVC and vegetable
bers such as good mechanic strenght, abrasion resistance and dimensional stability among others.
1. Spread a big amount of thin-set mortar on the surface of the riser.
2. Place the tile on the riser and press to get an optimal adherence.
3. Then, spread a big amount of thin-set mortar on the tread and align the prole on its vertex so it
rests on the riser (Do not let overhang, the leverage may remove the step and the tiles). Then press
so the thin-set mortar could pass through the mechanized holes of the anchoring wing.
4. Place one tile on the tread, align it to the prole and press to get a perfect adhesion. You can tap it
softly with a rubber hammer.
5. Clean the possible leftover material and let dry.
• Part of the composition of Maxi and MaxiKenya is natural, so it may have differences in tone that
can not be considered as manufacturing defects.
• It is recommended to take the proles by its central part, avoiding taking them by the tops to avoid
bending stresses which could cause scratches or breaks.
• Do not bend excessively the material. Store it always horizontally and in dry places.
• It must not be sanded, because that could affect to its surface appearance.
• It resists in moisture conditions but it is no recommended its use in submerged places.
• The range MaxiKenya is especially recommended for installations outdoors because it has an
excellent weatherability and remains unalterable under sun exposure.
We did not consider testing R11 or R12 ooring. The R11 and R12 are highly secure and non-sliding
oorings, so we can extrapolate that our stair nosings in combination with R11 oorings maybe will not
improve more but surely maintain the initial classication of the ooring.
Please, take into account that our proles are not certiable by themselves. Our Novopeldaño®
Maxi is not a prole classied as R9 or R10. What we are certifying is that our Novopeldaño® Maxi can
be combined with ceramics, thereby improving its slip resistance value and even, in some cases, its
classication.
Please note that this tests have been carried out with an especic ooring. This do not guarantee the
same results with other oorings classied as well as R9 or R10. There is a wide range of oorings in
the markets and the results of R9 oorings, for example, can uctuate between 6 and 10º. We can say
that your slip resistance value will be improved but not in the same way.
