Profile for Base Track 2.5m

Profile for Base Track 2.5m – Professional Finish for External Wall Insulation Systems

The Profile for Base Track 2.5m is a high-quality clip-on bead designed to work with aluminium starter tracks in external wall insulation (EWI) projects. It creates a neat and durable finish at the base of the insulation system, where the insulation ends on external walls. Thanks to its integrated drip nose, this profile directs water away from the wall, helping to prevent damp and moisture problems. Made from strong PVC and reinforced fibreglass mesh, it offers excellent resistance to weather and impact. This product is essential for contractors who want a reliable and professional-grade EWI installation.

Key Features:

• Clips securely onto aluminium starter tracks (2.5m length) for easy and precise installation.

• Drip nose design stops water from running back toward the wall, protecting the structure.

• Reinforced fibreglass mesh is UV-resistant, weatherproof, and impact resistant, strengthening the insulation edge.

• Durable PVC and fibreglass materials ensure long-lasting performance outdoors.

• Provides a clean, sharp finish that enhances the overall look of the insulation system.

Product Application:

This clip-on profile suits residential, commercial, and industrial external wall insulation. Contractors install it at the base of insulation layers, pairing it with aluminium starter tracks. Together, they form a strong and weatherproof foundation. The profile improves the system’s durability and prevents moisture ingress. It is ideal for projects where quality, appearance, and protection against damp are priorities. For investors, it offers a smart solution with lasting results.

Instructions for Use:

1. Secure the aluminium starter track at the base of the external wall.

2. Clip the profile bead firmly onto the starter track, ensuring even alignment.

3. Apply basecoat adhesive to embed the fibreglass mesh wing along the front of the insulation.

4. Smooth the basecoat to fully integrate the mesh and create a strong bond.

5. After the basecoat sets, apply the render or finishing coat for a professional look.

6. Regularly check the drip nose to keep it clear and allow proper water runoff.

We recommend purchasing an equal number of aluminium starter tracks and clip-on profiles. Using both together guarantees easy installation and perfect compatibility. This product enhances durability, prevents moisture issues, and provides a clean, professional finish for your external wall insulation projects.
