Description
Genesis LFA Aluminium Listello Tile Trim is a flat decorative aluminium profile designed to create a feature in ceramic wall tile installations, often used to provide a dividing strip between two tiles. This can be used to complement the aesthetics of a tiling installation or to divide between two different styles of tile.
Each trim measures 8mm in height and is available in two widths, either 10mm or 20mm. All sizes are supplied in 2.5 metre lengths.
The 10mm wide listello (LFA100) is available in the following finishes: 81 Matt Silver, 86 Bright Brass, 91 Bright Silver and 94 Brushed Silver.
The 20mm wide listello (LFA200) is available in the following finishes: 16 Black, 17 Matt Black, 90 Brushed Brass, 91 Bright Silver and 94 Brushed Silver.
Where appropriate, each Genesis LFA Aluminium Listello Tile Trim is supplied with transparent protective film offering added protection during transport, storage and installation.
Maintenance:
Genesis LFA Aluminium Listello Tile Trim does not require any special maintenance. Oxidation films on Aluminium may be removed with a common polishing agent; however, they do reoccur. Damaged anodised finishes may only be repaired by recoating.
Aluminium must be tested to verify its suitability if chemical stresses are anticipated. Cementitious materials, in conjunction with moisture, become alkaline. Since aluminium is sensitive to alkaline substances, exposure to the alkali (depending on the concentration and time of exposure) may result in corrosion (aluminium hydroxide formation). Therefore, it is important to remove adhesive or grout residue from visible surfaces. In addition, ensure that the profile is solidly embedded in the setting material and that all cavities are filled to prevent the collection of alkaline water.
The anodised layer creates a finish that retains a uniform appearance during normal use. The surface, however, is susceptible to scratching and wear and may be damaged by tile adhesive, mortar, or grouting material. Therefore, setting materials must be removed immediately. Otherwise, the description regarding aluminium applies.
Installation:
- Cut profile to desired length.
- Trowel tile adhesive over the area.
- Press the Genesis LFA Aluminium Listello Tile Trim into place and align on top of the already laid tile.
- Solidly embed the tiles so that the tiled surface is flush with the top of the profile, the profile should not be higher than the tiled surface.
- Fill the joint completely with grout.
