Schluter®-BARA-RW is a stainless steel or color-coated aluminum, L-shaped edging profile for balconies and terraces. The profile provides a neat edge appearance while concealing and protecting the exposed edges of the setting bed against weathering and corrosion.

BARA-RW is suitable for the renovation of balconies and terraces where a tile covering is to be installed onto an existing substrate using the thin-bed method. The profile is solidly embedded into the thin-set mortar and integrated into the bonded waterproof layer.

BARA-RW is available with a special radius perforation “R” so that the profile can be used to form curves. Matching outside corners and connector pieces are available.

BARA-RW requires no special maintenance or care. The coatings on the color-coated aluminum profile are colorfast and UV-resistant. Damaged surfaces shall be painted over.

Stainless steel surfaces exposed to the environment or aggressive substances should be cleaned periodically with a neutral cleaner. Regular cleaning maintains the neat appearance of stainless steel and reduces the risk of corrosion. Avoid the use of strong acids (e.g. hydrochloric or hydrofluoric) and base/alkaline cleaners (e.g. bleach, ammonia, chlorides). Do not use abrasive cleaning agents and tools. Stainless steel surfaces develop a sheen when treated with a chrome-polishing agent.

1. Sélectionnez le profilé BARA-RW en fonction de l’épaisseur du lit de mortier (c.-à-d., l’épaisseur de l’assemblage de plancher à recouvrir). Des coins préfabriqués et des raccords sont offerts pour finir les coins internes et externes, ainsi que les jonctions. Placez les profilés bout à bout en laissant un joint d’approximativement 3/16" (5 mm). Couvrez le joint du raccord à pression.

2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set mortar to the area where BARA-RW is to be placed. Press the perforated anchoring leg of the profile into the thin-set mortar and align.

3. To integrate the DITRA-DRAIN membrane, install the DITRA-DRAIN over the anchoring leg.

4. Tiles shall be laid in such a way that they extend approximately 3/4" (20 mm) beyond the edge of the profile. When using a trim profile at the edge area, the trim profile must extend beyond the BARA-RW by approximately 5/16" (8 mm).
