Quantity in the package, pcs.: 25
The Drip bead for base profile is used in external thermal insulation systems (ETICS) of the “wet facade” type to ensure a precise joint between the starter (base) profile and insulation boards. It is especially effective in high-humidity regions, where protection of the lower part of the facade from moisture and mechanical damage is critical.
Moisture protection: The drip edge effectively channels rainwater away, preventing its accumulation in the lower part of the facade.
Precise joint formation: Ensures an even geometry between the starter profile and the insulation, reinforcing the system and enhancing its overall reliability.
It is installed at the junction between the aluminum starter profile and the insulation boards, integrating seamlessly into the facade system. For added durability, it is combined with reinforcing mesh and a plaster layer, forming a single cohesive structure.
DRIP BEAD FOR BASE PROFILE: Precise Joint, Protection & Facade Durability
The DRIP BEAD FOR BASE PROFILE is a key component in “wet facade” thermal insulation systems. It performs two essential functions: it ensures a precise joint between the starter (base) profile and insulation boards, and it efficiently channels rainwater away from the facade thanks to its integrated drip edge. This helps prevent moisture accumulation at the bottom of the facade, reducing the risk of cracks, decorative layer detachment, and premature wear of the insulation.
DRIP BEAD FOR BASE PROFILE. Construction & Materials
This profile is made of high-strength PVC resistant to moisture, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations. It does not corrode, retains its shape over time, and maintains structural integrity even under heavy stress. The built-in drip edge allows controlled water runoff away from the facade surface.
DRIP BEAD FOR BASE PROFILE – Key Benefits
Moisture protection: The drip edge prevents rainwater from penetrating the thermal insulation system.
Precise joint formation: Ensures a straight and rigid corner between the base profile and insulation.
Prevents cracks and detachment: Minimizes the risk of damage to the decorative finish.
Strength and flexibility: Resistant to impacts and mechanical stress, retains shape.
Weather-resistant: Suitable for use year-round, in any climate.
Lightweight: Easy to transport and install.
Easy integration: Compatible with aluminum base profiles and reinforcing meshes.
Safe and eco-friendly: Contains no harmful substances; safe for human health.
Applications
The profile is used in insulation systems of residential, commercial, and public buildings. It is particularly effective in humid regions where extra protection of the lower part of the facade is required.
Installation Guidelines
The profile should be installed at the junction between the aluminum starter strip and insulation boards. For best results, it must be securely fixed within the insulation system and combined with other components (such as reinforcing mesh, plaster layers, etc.).
