Drip edge Window Profile
Mesh dimension: 100×100 mm Length:2,5 m
VLT plastic window profile with an exposed (visible) drip ledge for finishing plaster and water drain-off at the top jambs of building openings in the contact insulation system – ETICS. The profile is also designated as a balcony profile.
Material:
UV-stable and alkali-proof PVC, fibre glass reinforcement mesh ETAG 004
Advantages-application:
- Reinforcement of window or door jamb corners at the top edge of the building opening
- Provides water drain-off from the system, eliminates capillary rise along the top jamb, and also defrosting of plaster in winter
- Unexposed drip edge, under-plaster profile
- Reinforcement of corners and water drain-off
from balconies or terraces - Protection of corners against mechanical
damage - Prevents hairline cracking
- Creating an ideally straight edge
Installation tips:
- Insert the window profiles with fibre glass reinforcement mesh only in a building adhesive applied in advance on the insulating material surface
- Place the profile on the insulating material corner, press in the adhesive and align with the level
- Then press also the reinforcement mesh in the adhesive on the sides of the profile
- Wipe off the adhesive that has been pressed out over the mesh and level with a metal float
Coat the profile mesh gradually into the building adhesive.
