Hygienic corner cove PVC profile or half-round profile to avoid accumulation of dirt in difficult areas. Half-round profile to avoid dirt accumulation in difficult areas. It is made up of two pieces of PVC: a rigid base and a flexible part, whose edges allow it to adapt to possible irregularities in the tiling.

It is composed by two bodies of PVC: one rigid and one soft, which edges allow it to fit the possible irregularities of the tiled wall. First, place the base, fixing it to the existent tiled wall with a sylicone-type adhesive and then place the curved profile, inserting it with pressure.

Materials

PVC

Cove profile made by coextrusion of PVC-P (rigid PVC) and PVC-U (flexible PVC). PVC-U provides a perfect adaptability to corners while PVC-P is suitable, due to its rigidity, to be the piece to be placed in the tiles as a support.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride), is a polar amorphous thermoplastic polymer highly resistant to abrasion, corrosion and a wide range of chemical products. Has a good resistance to impact, low water absorption, low electrical conductivity and is dimensionally stable.

Installation

Clean the surface where is going to be installed:

1. Apply a big amount of adhesive on the rear surfaces of the rigid piece. You can use an adhesive type silicone like.
2. Place the rigid piece on the encounter between wall and bathtube (or the encounter you need) and press, so both faces to join will make perfect contact with the surface. Then, let dry.
3. Once it is dry, join the flexible piece to the rigid one by introducing the toothed part in the hollow of the rigid one, as it is shown in the draw below. Then, press until the scotia is fixed and correctly installed.
