Balcony angle profile with drip edge
Solutions For Balcony & Patio Edges
The DURABAL BK edge profile is made of anodized aluminum and has an inclined drip
edge providing the optimum finish for balcony and patio edges with regard to both
visual appeal and technical function. These profiles are available with a vertical facing
height of 18 to 73 mm, allowing the entire visible edge of the balcony construction
(depending on the flooring height) to be concealed and effectively sealed.
The DURABAL BK edge profiles are joined together using aluminum connectors which
prevent unsightly misalignments in the joints. A small gap of approximately 1 mm must
be left between the ends of the profiles to prevent stresses in the material. Matching
corner pieces are used to create clean and precise inside and outside edges.
THE DURABAL BK edge profiles can also be used to face the vertical edges of
balconies and patios. Before the tiles are laid, the whole surface of the profile’s
perforated leg must be taped over using WP 150 sealing strips, bonded with thinset
mortar. If a decoupling mat is to be used beneath the tiles, this should be laid up to the
horizontal leg, with no overlap. In this case, the WP 150 sealing tape must be bonded
across the full area of the horizontal web and the decoupling mat. The floor tiles are
laid flush to the top edge of the profile, with a 5-mm wide joint.
