Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. Is this 1.58mm bar suitable for structural load-bearing?

   • No. This profile is thin and flexible, intended strictly for aesthetic trim, finishing, and coverage. For structural work, a minimum thickness of 3.17 mm is required (see the EX-S17 profile).

2. How should I secure this wide bar when using it as a floor transition strip?

   • Use a flexible, high-bond construction adhesive suitable for flooring materials. For high-traffic areas, you may also need to drill and counter-sink small screws at regular intervals for maximum long-term security.

3. Can I use this profile to cover an expansion joint in concrete?

   • Yes, this is an excellent, non-corrosive cover for expansion joints. It is thin enough to flex slightly with minor movement, but you must secure it only to one side of the joint to allow for expansion.
