Frequent errors when installing expansion profiles

The installation of expansion profiles is an essential aspect in the construction and arrangement of any surface, be it residential complexes, residential projects OR residential complexes. These profiles have the purpose of absorbing the expansion and contraction movements of the materials, thus guaranteeing the durability and integrity of the structures. However, there are many of them frequent errors that can occur during the assembly phase, and knowing them can make the difference between a successful project and a problematic one. In this article I will explore these errors and highlight RATGROUP SRL’s expertise in the field of mounting aluminum expansion profiles.

The first crucial step is the correct choice of expansion profiles for different types of surfaces. Aluminum expansion profiles are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, each suitable for specific conditions. For example, in a recent residential project we used Bosch aluminum expansion profiles, which proved to be ideal for wooden floors. The wrong choice of profile can lead to rapid deterioration of the surface and additional repair costs.

Another common mistake is improper measuring and cutting of profiles. This can cause unsightly and functional misalignments. In a recent project, our team used professional Columbus grinding machines to ensure precise cutting of the profiles, which led to their perfect assembly. It is essential to carefully measure and cut the profiles to the correct dimensions to avoid problems later.

Temperature plays a significant role in the installation of expansion profiles. Materials can expand or contract depending on the ambient temperature and this must be taken into account during installation. For example, we have noticed that during the summer, when temperatures are high, profiles can expand more than expected, which can lead to warping. It is important to mount the profiles in an optimal temperature range to avoid such problems.

The use inappropriate stickers is another common mistake. At RATGROUP SRL we use high quality adhesives, such as UZIN and Wakol, which guarantee optimal adhesion and durability. A weak adhesive can lead to rapid detachment of the profiles, thus compromising the integrity of the entire system. In a project carried out for the Passau regional hospital we used Janser adhesives which have demonstrated excellent performance in difficult conditions.

IGNORANCE manufacturer’s installation instructions It’s another trap that many can fall into. Each type of profile has its own specifications, and failure to comply with them can lead to serious errors. Our team always makes sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure a correct and efficient installation.

Another important aspect is without considering the expansion and contraction of materials. Materials behave differently depending on the climatic conditions and their type. For example, in the case of the work carried out for Audi dealerships, we took care to leave sufficient spaces between the expansion profiles to allow the natural movement of the materials.

Incorrect installation of the supports for the expansion profiles could jeopardize its stability. It is essential that the supports are installed correctly and that they are strong enough to support the profiles in the long term. We use specialized Wolf brand machines to ensure a solid, long-lasting fit.

effects humidity the durability of the whole should not be underestimated. Excessive humidity can damage the adhesives and materials used. In a residential project, we noticed how humidity affected the installation of profiles, which led us to implement additional solutions to protect the final structure.

Surface cleaning before assembly it is an essential step that should not be overlooked. A dirty surface can compromise the adhesion of the adhesive and lead to further problems. Our team uses professional equipment to thoroughly clean surfaces before installation.

Errors inside aligning the expansion profiles lengthwise they can create visible malfunctions and affect the overall aesthetics of the project. It is important that the profiles are aligned correctly along their entire length to ensure a uniform appearance. We use precision tools to verify alignment before assembly is completed.

The use inappropriate tools for assembly could lead to unsatisfactory results. We at RATGROUP SRL rely on high quality tools, such as those of the Makita brand, which allow us to carry out precise and efficient work.

Failure to perform final checks after installation is another common mistake. It is essential to carry out a final check to verify that everything is in order. Our dedicated team ensures that every detail is checked before the project is handed over to the client.

The impact of negligence aesthetic details when laying profiles it is not to be underestimated. Careless installation can affect the overall appearance of a new home or apartment. We at RATGROUP SRL give importance to aesthetics and make sure that every detail is perfectly crafted.

Formation of the assembly group it is essential to avoid errors. We constantly invest in the training of our team to ensure that all members are well trained and informed on the latest techniques and industry standards.

In conclusion, frequent errors in the installation of expansion profiles can have a significant impact on the durability and aesthetics of residential projects.
