Catalog excerpts

TRIMTEC TR is a complete range of brass, aluminium and stainless steel trim profiles designed to allow a faster and proper laying of floor coverings independent of tile size or type of finishing and edging required. TRIMTEC TR is supplied in different heights ranging from 2 mm to 30 mm to match the thickness of tiles normally produced. In the aluminium and brass version, the dovetail internal cavity groove of the profile improves the grip action of the grout whether for vertical or horizontal tile laying. INSTALLATION: 1) Choose the trim size according to the thickness of the tile. The trim must not exceed the height of the tile but should be at least 0.5 ÷ 1 mm lower. 2) Apply tile adhesive to area to be tiled. 3) Cut trim to required length. Reserve extra space for linear expansion. The perforated flange of the trim is then firmly bedded into the adhesive and aligned. 4) Trowel extra adhesive over the perforations and the dovetail groove in the vertical section. 5) A tiny gap of approx. 0.5 ÷ 2 mm is left between trim and tile for the final grouting to be carried out. Stainless Steel section Aluminium and Brass section Illustrated scale dimension 1:1 (TR 100* - TR 175*) TRIMTEC TR-O* Extruded Brass This brass profile is developed with prime choice raw material in order to guarantee tolerance and endurance to chemical and mechanical solicitations. It is quite suitable for heavy industrial traffic areas as well as for domestic use where brass is always appreciated. Through contact with moisture or corrosive media brass may oxidize on exposed surfaces. This situation can be easily solved by buffing the product with to conventional polisher to return to its original shine. Available in natural brass (ON) or polished brass (OL): minimum qty required for this option. TRIMTEC TR-I* Stainless Steel AISI 304 - DIN 1.4301 e AISI 316 DIN 1.4401 This stainless steel profile is AISI 304 standard which ensures high tolerance to most of diluted chemicals found in laboratories or strong detergents present in food processing plants, commercial kitchens, slaughter houses, breweries, public toilets, hospitals etc. Available in polished stainless steel (IL), brushed (IS) or sanded(IX). H=mm Material: Extruded Brass Finish*: Natural (ON), Polished (OL) Length: 2,70 metres : 0,90 / 1,35 metres “ultra-thin tiles” Material: Stainless Steel AISI 304 Stainless Steel AISI 316 (ILM) Finish*: Polished (IL), Brushed (IS), Sabbiato (IX) Length: 2,70 metres : 0,90 / 1,35 metres (only IL) “ultra-thin tiles” TRIMTEC TR-AN Natural alluminium This profile is developed in conformity with the UNI standards. It has little tolerance to mechanical or chemical solicitation. During installation, excess adhesive and grout should be removed immediately to avoid stains.The exposed surface may change colour or darken in time. Outdoors or where higher stresses are involved the use of brass profiles is recommended. TRIMTEC TR profiles are conceived for tile laying but can be well used also with other types of flooring such as marble stone, wood, industrial resin floors, and natural stone floors. TRIMTEC TR are mainly used as transition trims between two types of floors (between tiling and carpeting for instance) and are adaptable as expansion joints when 2 lengths are laid face to face with filler poured in the gap. They can be used as ceramic skirting edging as well as terminal finish and protection for any given height of the floored area. In some cases also as entrance mat framing. TRIMTEC TR-AS Silver Anodised Aluminium This profile has a silver coating and is suitable for both indoor or outdoor application with high tolerance to weather agents but less to mechanical impact. During installation, excess adhesive and grout should be removed immediately to avoid stains. The exposed surface may change colour or darken in time. Where higher stresses are involved the use of brass profiles is recommended.
