Striated plate profile made in anodized matt silver aluminum designed to be installed in stairs, ramps or in areas where the safety against falls wants to be assured. This highly resistant profile is delivered with countersunk holes and is easy to install on finished floorings by using fixing screws. It supports intense traffic, acts as a guide for the blinded or partially sighted and also serves to signalize eventual dangers.

Plate profile made in anodized matt silver aluminum. This profile can be installed as a flooring separator, in entrances, stairs or ramps... It is ideal to be installed in accesible areas where tactile contact is required. A guide path effect can be achieved by placing several Novopletina aluminum.

Materials

Novopletina Aluminum is a profile made by extrusion of aluminum. Matte silver is achieved by anodizing, improving through this process its resistance to corrosion, mechanical resistance and appearance.

Aluminum is a material with excellent chemical and physical-mechanical properties. It is light, tough, ductile, malleable and highly durable.

Technical characteristics and tests

• Alloy: 6063 / L-3441 - AA and ASTM / UNE 38-301-89
• Fire resistance: M0 / UNE 23-727-90
• Abrasion resistance: Very good
• Light fastness: Excellent
• Appearance and color: EN 12373-1

Installation

Novopletina Aluminum is placed on practically any support on finished work. It is supplied with countersunk holes for fixing with screws. Each 2.5 meter profile consists of 13 countersunk holes in total, the first being 50mm from the end and the rest 200mm apart. The use of a 3.5 x 30 mm countersunk screw is recommended.

Make sure both surfaces are clean and dry. Then place the profile on the support, mark the holes in the ideal position and screw using the corresponding fasteners.

Cleaning and maintenance

Novopletina Aluminum is resistant to water and detergents. Cleaning should be done periodically with a soft, fiber-free cloth. If you choose to use a neutral cleaning liquid, it must be rinsed with cold water and dried to remove excess moisture. Stubborn soiling can be removed with suitable mildly abrasive cleaning agents.

The use of steel wool, abrasive or pickling products, as well as strong acids (hydrochloric and perchloric), strong bases (caustic soda or ammonia) or carbonated solutions is not recommended. Citric acid should also not be used as it dissolves the protective oxide layer on the aluminum surface. Waxes, petroleum jelly, lanolin or the like are not suitable. Haloalkane solvents (hydrofluoroethers or chlorinated solvents) and setting accelerators containing chlorides should be avoided (use non-chloride accelerators).
