Application and Function

Schlüter®-BARA-RKK/-RKKE are T-shaped finishing profiles with a short drip lip for the exposed edges of covering assemblies on balconies and terraces with finished sloped screeds.

Schlüter®-BARA-RKK is designed for assemblies with the bonded uncoupling membrane Schlüter®-DITRA 25. Its closed outer edge gives the exterior perimeter of tiled areas a neat appearance. Schlüter®-BARA-RKKE is particularly suited for assemblies with the bonded drainage mat Schlüter®-DITRA-DRAIN. Its perforated outer edge gives the exterior 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 below the covering. The crosssection of the profile openings is sufficiently large to guarantee drainage and ventilation. Schlüter®-BARA-RKK/-RKKE creates a neat finish and protects the exposed edges from weather influences and corrosion. The trapezoid perforated anchoring leg of the profile is attached to the exposed edges with a dry-set tile adhesive.

The bonded waterproofing mat Schlüter®-KERDI may be installed over the perforated anchoring leg and the adhesive flange of the profile, using the sealing adhesive Schlüter®- KERDI-COLL. If trowel-applied bonded waterproofing products are used, the installation instructions of the manufacturer must be observed. Thanks to the short design of the drip lip, Schlüter®-BARA-RKK/-RKKE is particularly well suited for balconies and terraces with railings mounted on the front side.
