Applications

Novopeldaño® 4 aluminium is a profile designed to be placed as a stair nosing. Its striated face side helps to fulfill with the DB-SUA (Basic Document of Security in usage and Accessibility) from CTE (Spanish Technical Building Code) because improves the value of slip resistance of the floor where it is installed. The Technical Guide of Accessibility in building 2001, also recommends the installation of visual and tactile elements at the beginning and the ending of stairs to favor the accessibility of people with reduced visibility.

Materials

Novopeldaño® 4 is a profile made by extrusion of aluminium. These profiles have been anodized, improving mainly by this process their corrosion and mechanical resistance and their appearance. The aluminium is a material with excellent chemical, physical and mechanical properties. It is lightweight, tough, ductile, malleable and highly durable.

Installation

1. Spread a big amount of thin-set mortar on the surface of the riser.
2. Place the tile on the riser and press to get an optimal adherence.
3. Then, spread a big amount of thin-set mortar on the tread and align the profile on its vertex so it rests on the riser (Do not let overhang, the leverage may remove the step and the tiles). Then press so the thin-set mortar could pass through the mechanized holes of the anchoring wing. Be also sure you fill the inside of the profile to reinforce the installation.
4. Place one tile on the tread, align it to the profile and press to get a perfect adhesion. You can tap it softly with a rubber hammer.
5. Clean the possible leftover material and let dry
