Terrace Capping Profile
Terrace capping profiles manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³) provide weather-defying protection and architectural refinement for exterior terrace balustrades. Resistant to hail impact, freezing rain, and UV exposure (-100 °C / +80 °C), these capping elements maintain complete structural stability without warping, rotting, or swelling. With a closed-cell structural formulation keeping water absorption strictly under 1%, they offer long-term protection against rain infiltration on terrace perimeters. Factory pre-coated with a white acrylic technical primer, Polure terrace capping profiles require an elastic, UV-resistant exterior facade topcoat paint. Installation calls for clean substrate preparation, 45° miter jointing, continuous PU assembly adhesive, and mechanical screw fixing (silicone adhesive is strictly forbidden). Lightly sand with 180-220 grit paper prior to painting for ideal coating durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is polyurethane ideal for terrace capping profiles?
High-density polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³) offers wood-like mechanical toughness, rot-proof longevity, water absorption under 1%, and hail resistance.
What paint should be applied to terrace capping profiles?
Topcoat with an elastic, UV-resistant exterior paint system. Ensure topcoat primer brand matches topcoat system brand for optimal durability.
How is a terrace capping profile installed?
Mount using a continuous bead of PU assembly adhesive along with mechanical screws. Silicone is strictly forbidden.
