Progress Profiles

To finish edges and corners, use finishing profiles, such as the double-bevel profile or the triangular bevel in grey rigid PVC, or aluminium and brass profiles for transitions between different materials. Choose the profile according to the material to be finished and the tile thickness. The profile must be fixed to a clean substrate, before laying.

To level a floor on an irregular surface, use levelling systems such as Proleveling, which let you lay the covering on a more even plane. Choose the system according to the height difference to be corrected and the type of covering. Before starting, check that the substrate is clean and stable, and read the data sheet of the system.

The pas, pal, pax and doppy spacers are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), but have different shapes to suit different laying points. The choice depends on where they are placed, on the formwork, on the reinforcement or on the substrate, and on the thickness required by the design. Check the data sheet of each spacer to see which shape to use in your case.

The Profoil Pro HDPE membrane is laid on terraces and balconies as a protective and separating layer, beneath the paving. It protects the structure from water and promotes drainage under the floor. It must be laid on a clean substrate with sealed joints, as indicated by the manufacturer. Whoever lays it must follow the instructions of the chosen system.

The Pavijoint floor joint profile in grey rigid PVC is used to separate two laying areas and absorb floor movement. It must be fitted at the points required by the design, such as control joints. Choose the profile shape according to the thickness of the covering. Check the product data sheet for laying instructions.

Spacers for mesh and reinforcement keep the reinforcement at the right distance from the formwork or the base. They must be placed at regular intervals, according to the required concrete cover. Choose the shape according to what they rest on: the ground, the mesh or the formwork. Check that the spacer stays in place during the pour.

Formwork gaskets seal the joints between formwork panels, so that mortar or concrete does not escape during the pour. They are fitted along the edge of the panels before pouring and must be checked each time they are reused. Choose the material according to the pressure of the pour and the type of formwork. A good seal reduces fins and leaks.

Promembrane Koll cementitious adhesive is a powder product to be mixed with water, used to fix waterproofing membranes onto concrete or mortar substrates. The 25 kg pack is the one listed in the catalogue. Prepare the mix following the proportions on the data sheet, apply the product on a clean substrate and wear gloves and glasses, as stated in the safety data sheet.
