Material
Schlüter®-RONDEC-STEP is made of aluminium and is available in a variety of finishes.
AE = Anodised Aluminium
ACGB = Brushed chrome anodised aluminium
Material properties and areas of application
Schlüter®-RONDEC-STEP must be tested to verify its suitability if chemical exposure is expected. Cementitious materials, in con- junction with moisture, become alkaline.
Since aluminium is sensitive to alkaline sub- stances, exposure to the alkali (depending on the concentration and duration of exposure) may result in corrosion (aluminium hydroxide formation).
For this reason, remove mortar or grouting material immediately from all visible areas and do not cover freshly installed coverings until dry.
In addition, make sure that the profile is solidly embedded in the setting material to prevent alkaline water from accumulating in small cavities. Schlüter®-RONDEC-STEP profiles have an anodised surface layer that retains a uniform appearance during normal use. Protect the surface from abrasion or scratching.
