Application and Function

Schlüter®-BARA-RAKE/-RAKEG is a finishing profile for exposed edges of covering assemblies on balconies and terraces with existing sloped screeds. Schlüter®-BARA-RAKE is especially suited for assemblies with the bonded drainage mat Schlüter®-DITRA-DRAIN. The perforated outer edges give the outer perimeter of tiled areas a neat appearance.

Furthermore, the profile covers the exposed edges of the bonded drainage mat Schlüter®- DITRA-DRAIN, which is installed under the covering. The cross section of the profile openings is sufficiently large to guarantee drainage and ventilation.

The trapezoid perforated anchoring leg of Schlüter®-BARA-RAKE is attached to the exposed edges with a dry set tile adhesive.

Schlüter®-KERDI may be used as a bonded waterproofing assembly, but trowel applied chemical products for bonded waterproofing are equally suitable. Schlüter®-BARARAKEG was designed for assemblies with the bonded uncoupling membrane Schlüter®-DITRA 25. The closed outer edges give the outer perimeter of tiled areas a neat appearance. Schlüter®-BARARAKE/- RAKEG creates a neat appearance and protects the exposed edges from weather influences and corrosion.
