Materials
Novoescocia S is a profile made by extrusion of aluminium. Its coating improves the corrosion resistance and provides properties for control of microbial deterioration. All the finishes have been lacquered, obtaining so a high quality and homogeneus surface. The lacquering has the quality seal Qualicoat, which guarantees the quality of the process and the final products.The aluminium is a material with excellent chemical, physical and mechanical properties. It is lightweight, tough, ductile, malleable and highly durable.Novoescocia S.
The complementary pieces of Novoescocia S are made of Zamak. The zamak is a non ferrous alloy of zinc with aluminium, magnesium and copper (UNE EN 1774). It is tough, has high hardness, high mechanical strength and excellent plastic deformability.The surface finish applied, protects the profile and is similar to Novoescocia S finishes.

Control of the microbial deterioration
Novoescocia S has a specific covering which protects the initial properties of materials and objects where its applied, through the control of microbial deterioration. The technology applied to the profile is a volatile compound resistant to high temperatures. Its eficacy extends along the profile’s life and doesn’t suffer detriment in its activity because it’s not eliminated through daily cleaning.
Novoescocia S prevents, on the surface of its profile, the growth and migration of bacteria, fungi, yeasts and molds, interfering with the gas permeability of the membrane (cellular breathing). In this way, microorganism lose quickly its ability to grow and reproduce, producing its destruction. The probability that microorganisms develope resistance to treatment is very low.
Novoescocia S is effective against a large number of bacteria among which are: Legionella neumophilia,Escherichia Coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcos Aureus (SARM), Listeria Monocytogenes, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Streptococcus Faecalis, Vibrio Parahaemolyticus y Enterobacter Aerogenes.e
Placement
- -Place tiles on the wall that will support the part of the profile without anchoring wing.
- -Spread a big amount of thin-set mortar on the other surface, without tiles, perpendicular to the first one.
- -Align the profile with the tiling and then press to make the thin-set mortar passes through the holes on the anchoring wing.
- -Place tiles along the anchoring wing and press to achieve an optimal adhesion.
- -Finish the tiling, clean the remaining material and let dry.
*In humid environments or in direct touch with water, it is recommended to seal the joints between Novoescocias with silicone.
In intersections it is recommendable to use the angle pieces designed for that purpose. In the case of the internal angle, it will be necessary to cut a small section of the anchoring wing to achieve a joint without overlaps.
To finish off the ends of the profile which are visible, you have covers available in the same finish than Novoescocia S.
To achieve a perfect finish and protection, we recommend the installation of Novolistel 3 in external vertical edges as a complement for these Novoescocia. This listello is available with the same finish than Novoescocia with control of the microbial deterioration. The complementary angle pieces allow its combination, guaranteeing a perfect finish in the joints, also with a finish with control of microbial deterioration.
Cleaning and maintenance
The product must be cleaned periodically with a soft cloth. If you use a neutral liquid cleaner, you must rinse the profile with cold water and dry it to remove the humidity excess. The persistent dirtiness can be removed by using cleaning approved agents lightly abrasive or a grid covered with polished powder neutral. If a preserving agent is applied, as well as keep a very thin layer of water repellent, note that it can’t be yellow,attract dust or dirt or have iridescent effects.
Steel wool, abrasive cleaners, souring products as well as strong acids (hydrochloric and perchloric),strong bases (caustic soda or ammonia) or carbonated solutions are not recommended. Citric acid is neither recommended because disolves the protective layer of the surface of aluminium. Waxes, petrolatum, lanolin or similar substances are not appropriate. Solvents containing haloalkanes (hydrofluoroether and chlorinated solvents) and curing accelerators containing chlorides should not be used (use special accelerators free of chlorides).
