INNOVATIVE PROFILES EDGE PROFILE T-SHAPED EDGE PROFILE Schlüter®-BARA-RT is aT-shaped connector profile for balcony and terrace coverings. It can be used In conjunction with loose gravel, stilted constructions, or in bonded assemblies. In installations with self-supporting pavers on screed contact points or gravel/crushed stone beds, the trapezoid perforated placed at the edge of the construction on top of the drainage membrane Schlüter®- TROBA or Schlüter®-TROBA-PLUS, where it Is aligned vertically and horizontally. The vertical finishing leg provides a neat finishing edge for the complete assembly and allows for the drainage of water. The different profile heights from 12 to 65 mm accommodate a variety of edge formations. The profile can also be used In conjunction with tile coverings. In this case, the trapezoid perforated anchoring leg of the Schlüter®- BARA-RT edging profile is fully embed- ded In the tile adhesive and Integrated into the bonded waterproofing assembly. Alternatively, the trapezoid perforated an- fully embedded In the screed, which allows for Installing the mortar bed flush with the upper edge of the profile. Schlüter®-TROBA- PLUS must be installed as an area drainage membrane between the waterproofing layer and the screed to ensure that water cannot accumulate In the screed layer. If Schlüter®- DITRA is to be Installed, the screed must be 3 mm lower than the upper profile edge. The profile creates a neat edge finish and covers the edge of tiles as well as any ex- posed screed. Schluter®-BARA-RT Is available In colour coated aluminium. Material properties Schlüter®-BARA-RT is made of colour coated aluminium. The coating on the alu- minium profile is colour stable, as well as UV Visible surfaces should be protected against abrasion. The thin-bed adhesive layer, Into which Schlüter®-BARA-RT is embedded, must not allow for the accumulation of water (full coverage without cavities), since alkaline water has a corrosive effect on aluminium.

In special cases, the suitability of Schlüter®- BARA-RT must be verified based on the anticipated chemical and mechanical Installation with self-supporting pavers on mortar contact points or gravel/crushed stone beds 1. Select Schluter®-BARA-RT according to the thickness of the edge area to be covered. Pre-formed corners are avail- able for outside corners. A distance of approx. 5 mm should be left between profile ends, with the gap covered by clip-on connectors. 2.

A distance of approx. 5 mm should be left between profile ends, with the gap covered by clip-on connectors. 2. A load distribution layer is now formed by Installing a screed mortar, which is sloped to end flush with the upper edge of the Schluter®-BARA-RT profile or lower, deducting the thickness of the tiles to be Installed. Aspace of 3 mm be- low the upper edge of the profile must be left for the Installation of the uncoupling and waterproofing membrane Schlüter®- Note: Schluter®-TROBA...
