Who is the aluminum edge protector suitable for?

This angle bracket is aimed at drywall installers, painters and renovators who want to permanently protect the outer edges of plasterboard walls and cladding; further profiles can be found under Plaster profiles made of metal and PVC .

Applications and processing

Typical applications and processing steps:

• Outer edges on walls and plasterboard partitions
• Edges on reveals, openings and casings
• Edges of ceiling boxings and beams
• Edges up to 3 m in length without profile joint
• Cut the profile to length with tin snips before installation.
• Embed the angle completely in the filler.
• Then apply filler up to the profile head.
• For blunt edges with a 135° angle, choose a suitable version.

Their advantage: straight edges that can withstand impacts.

The angle serves as a guide for a straight edge when applying filler and also absorbs impacts that would quickly damage a simple filler edge. Keuck, for example, offers the ARDEX A 828 wall filler as a filler for plasterboard joints .

Selection: Length and edge angle

Select the profile based on edge length and edge angle.

3 m or 2.5 m pole length

With a length of 3,000 mm, one rod is sufficient even for higher edges; for shorter edges, Keuck offers the same angle in 2,500 mm, which saves on waste.

Right-angled and obtuse edges

For 135° edges, such as at transitions to sloping roofs, Keuck offers a special corner protection angle with this angle.

Installation and limitations

The profile is fully embedded in filler and is not intended as an exposed, visible profile. For damp rooms, please check suitability beforehand, as coated or stainless steel profiles are sometimes used in these areas.
