Notice !

Make sure that you choose the most suitable profile material and plaster mortar according to the application area to avoid excessive risks, claims, and consequential damage. To prevent bimetallic corrosion, ensure that all metal components used in a given installation are of the same material type. Please ensure sufficient aeration to prevent corrosion and accelerate the drying time. Avoid damage to beads when trowelling plaster or render. Care should also be taken to prevent mechanical damage to the galvanised coating. The substrate must be dry, clean, dust-free, absorbent, and load-bearing in accordance with the requirements of the plaster coats to be applied. The wall surface must not contain salts or foreign substances and efflorescence must be removed. In general, metal beads should be kept dry and stored flat.
