Materials
PVC
Novoescocia® 5 PVC is a prole made by coextrusion of PVC-P (rigid PVC) and PVC-U (exible PVC).
PVC-U provides a perfect adaptability to corners while PVC-P is suitable, due to its rigidity, to be the
piece to be placed in the tiles as a support.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride), is a polar amorphous thermoplastic polymer highly resistant to abrasion,
corrosion and a wide range of chemical products. Has a good resistance to impact, low water absorption,
low electrical conductivity and is dimensionally stable.
Zamak
The complementary piece of Novoescocia® 5 PVC is made of Zamak. Zamak is a non ferrous alloy
of Zinc with aluminium, magnesium and copper (UNE EN 1774). It is tough, has high hardness, high
mechanical strength and excellent plastic deformability.

Cleaning and maintenance
The cleaning can be done with water and detergent or specic cleaner diluted. The correct use of
bleach do not affect PVC.
It is not recommended using chromic acid, sulfuric acid or organic solvents as ethyl acetate, acetone
or toluene.
1. Before installing the ooring or the wall tiling, spread a layer of thin-set mortar on both surfaces
where the prole will be installed
2. Place the prole aligning it with the wall and press it to make the thin-set mortar pass through the
holes on the anchoring wing.
3. Then, place the tiles along the anchoring wings, pressing to get a perfect adhesion
4. Finally, clean the leftover material, remove the protective lm and let dry
