Special components are available for making chords with external angles (90° and 135°) and internal angles (90° and 135°). Materials Anodized aluminum Al-Mg-Si Alloy heat treated to T6 temper (6060 T6). These profiles are made by extrusion and subsequently anodized with thickness ≥ 15 µm. The external surface must be protect from scratches and rubbings. They are well-resistant to chemical and atmospheric agents. Cement and its derivatives produce, if wet, alkaline substances that, when left to act on the surface, can corrode metal (formation of aluminum hydroxide). For this reason, the side on sight of the profile must be cleaned delicately thoroughly from cements, adhesives, cleaners and caulking or stopping material. As a result of wear and treading (when these profiles are used on flooring), anodized surfaces wear down, losing their original finish. High shine aluminum Al-Mg-Si Alloy heat treated to T6 temper (6463 T6). These profiles are made by extrusion and subsequently treated and mechanically worked. They guarantee a discernible resistance to chemical agents. Cement and its derivatives produce, if wet, alkaline substances that, when left to act on the surface, can corrode metal (formation of aluminum hydroxide). For this reason, the side on sight of the profile surface must be cleaned thoroughly of cements, adhesives, cleaners and caulking or stopping material. Do not use profiles in high shine aluminum on floors and outdoors. General note on metals Aluminum are not resistant to all chemical compounds and it would thus be necessary to keep it away from particularly aggressive products such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4). Products that can be used for cleaning stones, ceramics and gres, for example muriatic acid, ammonia, bleach or sodium hypochlorite damage the surface finish of the metal and may cause intense corrosive reactions. Therefore, it is necessary to always remove, and as fast and gently as possible, residues of cement, adhesives, cleaners and materials for caulking and stopping from the surface of profiles. In case you used an adhesive tape to mask the profiles, we recommend to remove the tape within 1 hour. Laying Laying instructions using adhesive Remove the profile from the packaging. Check that the thickness of the covering to be laid corresponds with the height of the selected profile (see the label). Remove, wherever present, the protection (protective and/or thermo-shrink film) covering the finish of the profile. Verify the necessary length and cut the profile to the required measurement, using the proper tools. 18.06.19 | External corners profiles | Cerfix® Pro

Press the profile so that the previously applied adhesive comes out from the perforations of the tabs. Delicately place and press the wall covering, ensuring that it is in line with the profile and at the proper distance required for the gap (usually 1 or 2 millimeters). With the proper gap material, seal the cleft left between the wall covering and the profile. Clean excess gap...
