Border section profiles

The ideal edge cover.

Rock wool or a mineral fibrous insulating strip that is wider than a conventional insulating strip is usually used to safeguard fire protection joints. This results in several problems for the floorer. They can neither apply filler nor adhesive on top of the insulating strip. The floor covering that is meant to be installed close to the wall has no downward foothold in the area of the joint and caves in. The Edge Joint Profile 718 was developed by Prinz for these cases. It is 45 mm in width. In the outer area of the side, holes have been punched into the profile. This part lies on the concrete and is filled in or adhered. The rest of the side (27 mm) is closed; it bridges the joint and forms a robust substructure for the floor covering. The requirement of an absorbable substructure is thus given for diffusion resistant coverings even in the edge area.
