General questions on KORTE mouldings

In what colour are KORTE mouldings available?

KORTE mouldings are available only in grey (light grey to concrete grey).

Can KORTE mouldings also be applied without coating?

KORTE Concave Mouldings and Drip Strips have a smooth, non-porous surface and are weather-proof, water-tight and vapour-tight and can therefore also be used without coating.
KORTE Spitters have a void content of approx. 25%, so they do need to be painted or coated.

In what lengths are KORTE products available?

Our profiles are available in multiples of 1 metre.

Are flexible versions of KORTE products also available?

Only the KORTE Drip Strip type T3 is also available in a flexible version as type T3 flexible.

Questions about handling KORTE mouldings

How are KORTE Concave Mouldings glued?

We recommend gluing the mouldings to the floor to form a shear-resistant joint using 2- component epoxy resin adhesive and filling the joint with the wall with 1-component polyurethane adhesive, ensuring that a gap is formed in accordance with DIN 18540, where applicable.

How are KORTE Drip Strips glued?

We recommend gluing the mouldings with 1-component polyurethane adhesive. The layer of adhesive should be no more than 1 mm thick and cover the whole area to be glued. (Allow for a hardening time of 24 hours per mm.)
The mouldings must be glued with 2-component epoxy resin adhesive on fresh concrete and in areas exposed to salt spray.
