KLIKS proles have been designed for simple installation.

With versatile height adjustment and pre-drilled bases the

Spectrum range is quick and easy to install.

Installation Environment

Care should be taken that the proles are not tted or stored, prior to tting, in extreme

conditions of cold or warmth. The ideal conditions for tting are with temperatures in the range of

15oC - 25

oC. Allowing a period of acclimatization will assist in achieving a satisfactory result.

Ensure that when tting the tops into the bases, the prole section is not heated with hot air guns/hot

water, which can lead to the material being inadvertently stretched whilst being tted into position.

If the proles are stretched during installation they will over time, revert to their original size, leaving

gaps at the joints and ends.

Joints

The base prole joints should be staggered with a minimum overlap of 150mm, wherever possible

position the joints away from main trafc areas.

When using the proles in curved situations it is recommended that an adhesive x be also applied

into the base (50mm along) at the joints.

Maintenance

PVC ooring proles should be cleaned with a mild detergent with water on a damp - not wet - cloth,

ensuring that the prole is wiped dry before allowing trafc to return to area.

Polishes and industrial cleaning agents should not be used on PVC flooring profiles.

Stage 1

Bases are secured to sub oor with asuitable cartridge adhesive and No.6countersunk screws.

Stage 2

Once the base is rmly securedto the sub oor, the ooring canbe laid up to the base section.

Stage 3

The top section may then betted by hand or using a softmallet if necessary.

Installation

Form base to shape of curve required

and afx to sub oor (ensuring that

surface is level) with a suitable

adhesive and screw xings.

When tting lengths over 2.715m

always overlap top joints by a

minimum of 150cm over base joints.

Once base is rmly secured oorings

can be laid and tops dressed in with

a rubber mallet.

Material must not be stretched when

fitting as this will cause tops to

contract and cause shrinkage.

Suitable for domestic and light to medium trafc

installations, typical applications include carpet

to laminate and ceramic oors.

For contract areas with heavy trafc please

contact the sales ofce for alternative products.

Technical Inormation Stair Nosings and Edgings

LRV Light Reflective Value

LRV is a measurement which expresses the percentage of light that is reected from a surfacewith lighter nishes at the upper end of the scale and darker nishes at the lower.

Designers of buildings need to comply with the building regulations applicable to the structureunder consideration. Since 2004 guidance has existed on access to and use of buildings. Theguidance is particularly concerned with provisions to assist the disabled, including those whoare visually impaired.

The guidance highlights the need for certain surfaces and features to contrast visually withtheir surroundings.

This is relevant to a wide range of non residential buildings including hospitals, schools, hotels,theatres etc.

The current guidance in the regulations and in the relevant codes of practice BS8300:2009 isthat adequate visual contrast is provided if the Light Reective Values (LRV) of the contrastingareas exceeds 30 points, ie the contrast between the stair edging and the oorcovering.

The testing equipment used to assess the LRV values on C.A.T. product nishes is aintergrating sphere spectrophotometer.

Fixing

Stair Nosings - standard drilling

All aluminium proles, except Olympic 35, are supplied pre-drilled and countersunk for No.8screws unless otherwise requested. Holes are through the aluminium, centred in thev-groove(s) as shown below:

Hole positions are 75m,m in from ends at

approximately 250mm centres.

Recommended FixingsAs with all installations, the substrate must be sound and reasonably level. Any remedial workmust be done before installing the prole(s).

The heavy duty nature of Carbigrip lled proles requires that they are always screw xed. Itis also advisable to bed all proles on to a suitable adhesive to reduce/remove the potential forrattle in the nished installation.

The recommended screw size is a No.8 (M5) woodscrew with a countersunk head to suitthe standard pre-drilled holes. Always use stainless steel screws (or bolts/nuts if xing tosteelplate).

The chosen bedding adhesive must be suitable for external use (recommendations areavailable) and used in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

Where xing has to be by adhesive only, use a product with high strength mechanicalproperties which is specically designed for structural bonding (recommendations areavailable). Cartridge adhesives typically used for xing decorative nosings; e.g. Gripll, F32etc., are not recommended for this purpose.

Stair Nosing MaintenanceTo ensure effective anti-slip is maintained and that the edge of the step(s) remains adequatelydened, the installed nosings and treads must be cleaned on a regular bases. Cleaningshould be carried out by gently scrubbing with a solution of proprietary detergent and warmwater.

The aluminium prole(s) can be buffed using a ne grade steel wool or similar.

conrmation of product properties and

relationship, nor should it be used as a basis

for ordering products.

Our sales personnel are always happy to

give customers individual advice on the

best way to maintain rods given different

situations.

For customers with old tarnished rods we are

happy to re polish, once having inspected

them given an assessment of the level of

nish that can be achieved.


Maintenance Guide

Brass RodsAll brass will tarnish

with atmosphere.

In order to maintain apolished nish on rods, regular polishing

is required with a suitable metal polish.

Regular polishing is particularly important in

public areas where contact with passers by

and even beverages can tarnish the surface

of the brass.

We do not recommend the use of any

water based cleaning agents, as this is very

likely to accelerate tarnishing and can leadto staining and corrosion. Please note the

longer water stains or water based cleaned

surface are left unpolished, the more difcult

it is to remove stains.

Lacquers are not recommended and will

prevent tarnishing for a limited period only

and at which time it may be required to strip

remaining lacquer and repolish rods.

Antique Brass andAntique Bronze Rods

Wipe with a dry cloth

or duster. Do not use

any liquids or metal

polishes on these nishes.

Chrome and Nickel RodsBuff with a dry cloth

or duster. A damp cloth

may be used for heavilysoiled rods but must be dried immediately.

Technical Information on

Curved Profiles

A successful product is largely reliant upon

the information and quality of templates

supplied.

Our fabrication department has formed

thousands of proles since our formation

and has developed our services to the

ooring industry in line with modern trends.

Proles are formed using traditional

fabrication methods and computer aided

equipment.

This mixture of experience, knowledge and

technology provides our customers with

the condence to call CAT when its not all

straight forward !!!

It is sometimes possible to produce curves

to a specic radius from plans to a maximum

radius of 10m.

For curves not of a specic radius (ie shapes)

hardboard templates should be supplied

accompanied by a sketch of the planned

installation.

Please allow 25% for material wastage in the

curving process.

Curves are always supplied oversize for

cutting in on site.

We are here to help

For technical advice on the suitability and

availablity of proles for curving, please

contact our sales ofce.

If we dont say yes,

we will say we will try it.

Example of upvc extrusions tool

Example of section forming

From our conception we have provided theooring industry a specialist service.

This service includes the production of nonstandard proles using two principle formsof manufacturing ooring trims and stairnosings.These are metal and pvc extrusion andsection forming from sheet metal.

The extrusion process is very versatile butcan be costly if only small volumes arerequired.With this method proles can be produced

(subject to sight of design) in brass,aluminium, upvc and pvc.

The forming method can be much more costeffective for smaller requirements but therecan be limitations in design.With this method of manufacture we makesections in brass, aluminium and stainlesssteel.

In addition to our fabrication and curvingservice we also provide a laser cutting facilityfor shaped at plates and circular curves forxing around columns.

If you have an enquiry for a bespoke prole,call or email CAT sales for technical advice

on product production.
