Novopeldaño MaxiKenya®

Applications

Novopeldaño MaxiKenya® is a prole designed to be installed in the steps of stairs. Its particular

visible side provides a high resistance to slipperiness, helping to fulll the DB-SUA of the CTE (Spanish

Technical Building Code) and the DIN51130 standard, by improving the value of slip resistance of the

ooring where is installed.

This prole can also be installed in windowsills, countertops, etc., being adaptable to many different

projects and environments.

Novopeldaño® MaxiKenya is also a good option to be installed as an edge protector on perimeters of

swimmingpools. Its warm texture, excellent resistance and non-slip surface, make this prole suitable

for this application. Take into account that this prole can not be installed in swimmingpools’ stairs or

permanently submerged.

The range MaxiKenya is specially recommended for outdoor installations because it has an excellent

weatherability and remains unalterable to sun exposure.

TECHNICAL FILE Novopeldaño® MaxiKenya We did not consider testing R11 or R12 flooring. The R11 and R12 are highly secure and non-sliding floorings, so we can extrapolate that our stair nosings in combination with R11 floorings maybe will not improve more but surely maintain the initial classification of the flooring. Please, take into account that our profiles are not certifiable by themselves. Our Novopeldaño® MaxiKenya is not a profile classified as R11 or R10.
