Description
This satin anodised aluminium straight edge trim is designed to provide both protection and a neat finish to tiled corners and unfinished edge. With a length of 2.5m and a variety of internal heights ranging from 8mm through to 15mm.
Usage
These aluminium trims are given an anodised corrosion resistant finish, which is applied electro-chemically. Once the profile is treated, it is then dipped to create a satin matt finish, without damaging the mechanical or chemical resistance of the straight edge trim.
This particular aluminium straight edge trim is ideal for use where a high level of protection is required, and it is suitable for both general interior and exterior use. These trims are also a popular choice for wet areas such as showers and wet rooms, however they should not be installed in areas which will be submerged in water.
Installation
As you would expect from a high-quality tiling trim, this aluminium straight edge trim features a perforated anchoring leg which will help to secure the trim to the adhesive or mortar below the tiled surface. Once installed, the anodised finish will create a uniform finish, however care should be taken to prevent damage of the trim from tile adhesive, mortar or other grouting products, with setting materials removed from the area quickly.
Maintenance
These anodised aluminium trims do not require any special maintenance, with a soft cloth and water ideal for removing general marks and cosmetic issues. A glass cleaner or mild detergent can also be used to remove stubborn stains and fingerprints. If an oxidation film builds up on the trim, it can be easily removed with common polishing agents. However, if the surface of the trim is damaged a recoating layer can be applied to provide added protection.
