erfect protection in the bathroom

In nature, water encounters insurmountable barriers. We asked ourselves how we could protect the architecture in the bathroom as effectively. Rocks that are millions of years old separate land and water.

Hygienic, reliable and maintenance free Porous silicone joints are a problem in many bathrooms. Water can penetrate the brickwork through them and cause tremendous damage. The solution: a silicone-free combination of glazed titanium steel, the BetteUpstand. It extends the edges of baths and shower trays to below the splashback, eliminating the need for silicone. ❖ 30 $ ✓ Glazed Years Sustainable Made in Titanium-Steel Warranty*1 Quality Germany *1 Further information on our guarantee terms at www.my-bette.com

Elegant, hygienic and economical Build in durability and put an end to tedious maintenance of the joints. Disadvantages of silicone joints – glass-like surface – bacteria are unable to adhere – real dirt traps – resistant and easy to keep clean Protection against water Costs for repairs – glazed titanium steel is completely waterproof – good breeding ground for germs and bacteria – a possible target for mould – porous joints cause water damage – less expensive in the long term as – repairs are tedious and expensive there are no silicon

Under DIN 18534, baths and shower trays must be sealed in a special way. Silicone is not enough. In addition to the use of conventional sealing tapes, the building regulation calls for the upstand as a standard solution. In order to check the seal on the BetteUpstand, it was subjected to endurance testing at Kiwa, the independent test institute. This test confirmed the seal of the BetteUpstand based on guideline ETAG 02. Waterproof connection For the BetteUpstand, the titanium steel bath rim is extended by 35 mm, the return is angled and glazed, and tiled over during installation. Tile...

Precisely planned, perfectly installed. 2. Preparing the bath Glue the insulating tape to the back of the sealing fleece that was fitted at the factory. 1. Preparing the wall The principle is the same for solid and lightweight constructions. The walls are plastered as usual or clad with 2 lightweight panels. As the bath or shower tray with the BetteUpstand is inset in the wall, the unfinished wall must be filled or recessed by at least 11 mm C . Align the bath or shower tray, and fix with the bath anchors (included). Then work the sealing fleece into the compound seal with waterproofing...

Made-to-measure for any room situation Shortened upstand The BetteUpstand can also be specifically adapted for corners and niches where the wall does not continue. We recommend setting the upstand back by 10 mm. The front can then be neatly tiled over and the clear joint line of the splashback is retained. The sides of the bath and shower tray on which BetteUpstand is to be shortened are determined by the individual installation situation. Bette will shorten the upstands for one or both sides, on request. Shortened on right Shortened on left Shortened on both sides Upstand to measure So the...

Free choice of wall covering The BetteUpstand can be tiled in the classic manner or installed with seamless walls in glass or waterproof HPL composite panel. HPL panel Glass Tile Practical tip: If using cut fine stoneware or glazed tiles, we recommend the use of an end rail.

19Constructive protection for historic structuresHotel Brunnenhaus Schloss Landau Hotel Brunnenhaus Schloss Landau is a 25-room establishment in Landau near Bad Arolsen.
