Schluter-BEKOTEC Technical Data Sheet

anchoring leg and the finishing leg to
ensure the proper drainage of any collecting
seepage water.
Schluter
®
-BARA-RWL is available with a
special radius perforation “R” so that the
profile can be used to form curves.
5.4 Schluter
®
-BARA-RK is a T-shaped
edging profile for balconies and terraces.
The profile provides a neat edge appearance
while concealing and protecting the
exposed edges of the mortar bed against
weathering and corrosion. The sloped
projecting drip edge covers the exposed
edges of the Schluter
®
-TROBA sub-surface
drainage system, which is installed below
the mortar bed.
During the application of the mortar bed,
the trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg of
Schluter
®
-BARA-RK is solidly embedded in
the mortar bed while the upper edge of the
profile is used to screed the mortar bed
to the appropriate height. Install Schluter
®
-
TROBA or Schluter
®
-TROBA-PLUS for sub-
surface drainage between the waterproofing
layer and the mortar bed in order to prevent
penetrating water from collecting in the mortar
bed. If Schluter
®
-DITRA is to be installed, the
screed is leveled 1/8" (3 mm) below the top
of the profile. If Schluter
®
-DITRA-XL is to
be installed, the screed is leveled 5/16" (7
mm) below the top of the profile. DITRA and
DITRA-XL uncouple the tile covering from the
screed and neutralize stresses caused by
differential movement between the screed
and the tile, primarily due to temperature
fluctuations. In addition, DITRA and DITRA-
XL, in conjunction with the tile covering,
create a bonded waterproof layer.
Matching inside corners, outside corners,
and connector pieces are available for
Schluter
®
-BARA-RK.
5.5 Schluter
®
-BARA-RAK is a color-
coated aluminum edging profile with a drip
lip that finishes the exposed edges of floor
assemblies on balconies and terraces that
have an existing sloped screed. Schluter
®
-
BARA-RAK produces a clean edge finish
and protects the exposed edges against
weathering and decay.
The trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg of
Schluter
®
-BARA-RAK should be integrated
with a suitable waterproofing membrane.
Once the anchoring leg of Schluter
®
-
BARA-RAK becomes integrated with the
waterproofing membrane, tile installation
can begin. Schluter
®
-SCHIENE or Schluter
®
-
RONDEC can be applied to edge the tiles at
the recessed transition to the drip lip. The
tiles can also be laid with an overhang.
Note: When using Schluter
®
-BARA-RAK as
an edging profile for floor assemblies that are
to receive a waterproofing membrane with
a mortar screed on top, a drainage layer,
such as Schluter
®
-TROBA or Schluter
®
-
TROBA-PLUS, must be incorporated into
the surface assembly.
Matching inside corners, outside corners,
and connector pieces are available for
Schluter
®
-BARA-RAK.
Edge-finishing/
Gutter Support Profiles
5.9 Schluter
®
-BARA-RTK is a color-
coated aluminum edging and finishing
profile for the exposed edges of floor
assemblies on balconies and terraces
that have an existing sloped substrate.
A T-shaped chamber in the vertical leg
of Schluter
®
-BARA-RTK is provided for
attaching the Schluter
®
-BARIN gutter
system. Schluter
®
-BARIN is fastened to
the balcony edging profile with screws.
The screw slots in the gutter are elongated,
making it possible to slope the gutter up to
1-3/16" (30 mm).
The trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg of
Schluter
®
-BARA-RTK should be integrated
with a bonded sheet-applied or trowel-
applied waterproofing membrane. Once
the anchoring leg of Schluter
®
-BARA-
RTK becomes integrated with a suitable
water-proofing membrane, the tiles can
be bonded directly to the waterproofing
layer by observing the manufacturer’s
specifications. Schluter
®
-SCHIENE or
Schluter
®
-RONDEC can be applied to edge
the tiles at the recessed transition to the
drip lip. The tiles can also be laid with
an overhang.
Note: When using Schluter
®
-BARA-RTK as
an edging profile for floor assemblies that are
to receive a waterproofing membrane with
a mortar screed on top, a drainage layer,
such as Schluter
®
-TROBA or Schluter
®
-
TROBA-PLUS, must be incorporated into
the surface assembly.
Matching inside corners, outside corners,
and connector pieces are available for
Schluter
®
-BARA-RTK.
5.11 Schluter
®
-BARA-RTP is a color-
coated aluminum edging profile that can be
retrofitted to the exposed edges of existing
balconies and terraces. A T-shaped
chamber in the vertical leg of Schluter
®
-
BARA-RTP is designed to accept the
Schluter
®
-BARIN gutter system. Schluter
®
-
BARIN is fastened to the balcony edging
profile with screws. The screw slots in the
gutter are elongated, making it possible to
slope the gutter up to 1-3/16" (30 mm).
Matching inside corners, outside corners,
and connector pieces are available for
Schluter
®
-BARA-RTP.
Gutter System
10.1 Schluter
®
-BARIN is a gutter system
for the drainage of balconies and terraces.
In addition to the Schluter
®
-BARIN gutter
components, all required accessories, such
as mounting screws, inside and outside
corners, connectors, end caps, down
couplings, down pipes, and spouts, are
available. Schluter
®
-BARIN is attached with
mounting screws to the balcony edging
profiles, Schluter
®
-BARA-RTK and -RTP.
Elongated slots at the back of the gutters
allow for a slope of up to 1-3/16" (30 mm).
All Schluter
®
-BARIN system accessories are
fastened to the gutter with connectors.
