Schluter^®-BARA-RW

Schluter®-BARA-RW is a stainless steel or color-coated aluminum, L-shaped edging profile for balconies and terraces. The profile provides a neat edge appearance while concealing and protecting the exposed edges of the setting bed against weathering and corrosion.

BARA-RW is suitable for the renovation of balconies and terraces where a tile covering is to be installed onto an existing substrate using the thin-bed method. The profile is solidly embedded into the thin-set mortar and integrated into the bonded waterproof layer.

BARA-RW is available with a special radius perforation “R” so that the profile can be used to form curves. Matching outside corners and connector pieces are available.

BARA-RW no requiere mantenimiento ni cuidados especiales. El revestimiento de color del aluminio no destiñe y es resistentes a los rayos UV. Las superficies dañadas deben repintarser. 

Las superficies de acero inoxidable expuestas al medio ambiente o a sustancias agresivas deben limpiarse regularmente con un producto de limpieza neutro. La limpieza regular mantiene la apariencia del acero inoxidable y reduce el riesgo de corrosión. Evite usar ácidos fuertes (como por ej., ácido clorhídrico o fluorhídrico) o productos de limpieza alcalinos (como por ej., lejía, amoníaco o cloruros). No use productos de limpieza abrasivos ni herramientas. Las superficies de acero inoxidable adquieren un brillo especial cuando se tratan con pulidores de cromo.

1. Select BARA-RW according to the thickness of the setting bed (i.e., the height of the floor assembly to be covered). Prefabricated corners and connectors are available for inside corners, outside corners, and butt joints. Abut the ends of the profile, leaving an approx. 3/16" (5 mm) joint. Cover the joint with the clip-on connector.

2. Using a notched trowel, apply thin-set mortar to the area where BARA-RW is to be placed. Press the perforated anchoring leg of the profile into the thin-set mortar and align.

3. To integrate the DITRA-DRAIN membrane, install the DITRA-DRAIN over the anchoring leg.

4. Tiles shall be laid in such a way that they extend approximately 3/4" (20 mm) beyond the edge of the profile. When using a trim profile at the edge area, the trim profile must extend beyond the BARA-RW by approximately 5/16" (8 mm).
