An anodised aluminium drip angle for the edge of a tiled balcony. Fixed to the fascia before the tiles go down, the 12mm lip throws runoff clear of the edge so water drips off, not back onto the cladding or render below.
Anodised finish stands up to sun and salt, and the clean line reads as a finished edge rather than a flashing. 5m length.
Frequently asked questions
How does the drip lip stop fascia staining?
The angled drip lip redirects water runoff away from the balcony edge. This prevents water from tracking along the underside of the slab, which stops staining and reduces long-term damage to fascias or cladding.
Can this trim be used with tiled balcony systems?
Yes, the trim is designed for tiled balconies. It provides a defined edge for screeds and tile systems, managing drainage efficiently, especially when installed with waterproofing membranes beneath.
Is anodised aluminium suitable for all outdoor environments?
Anodised aluminium provides corrosion resistance for standard outdoor applications. For extreme coastal zones, consider specific marine-grade coatings if required by project specifications.
Are corner pieces included with the linear trim?
No, internal and external 90° corner pieces are sold separately. They are manufactured to match the linear profile, ensuring seamless changes in direction around balcony perimeters.
Substrate guide
Correct surface preparation is essential for mechanical fixing or embedding the drip angle securely.
Concrete screed
Surface prep: Ensure the screed is dust-free and fully dry before installation.
Primer: Not required.
Waterproof membrane
Surface prep: Allow the waterproof membrane to fully cure according to manufacturer specifications before mechanically fixing the trim.
Primer: Not applicable.
Tile adhesive bed
Surface prep: No specific surface preparation beyond ensuring the adhesive bed is fresh and wet.
Primer: Not required. Press the trim firmly into the wet adhesive.
