Maxi is a composite material formed by PVC and vegetable bers. Those bers proceed from recycling
of organic waste from agriculture. The waste reduction and the recycling of materials, help Maxi to fulll
with the Emac’s commitment with the Environment and the sustainable construction.
Maxi has an original nish, similar to wood and natural elements, which adapts to different decorative
environments. The main advantage of this composite is that has the best qualities of PVC and vegetable
bers such as good mechanic strenght, abrasion resistance and dimensional stability among others.
1. Spread a big amount of thin-set mortar on the surface of the riser.
2. Place the tile on the riser and press to get an optimal adherence.
3. Then, spread a big amount of thin-set mortar on the tread and align the prole on its vertex so it
rests on the riser (Do not let overhang, the leverage may remove the step and the tiles). Then press
so the thin-set mortar could pass through the mechanized holes of the anchoring wing.
4. Place one tile on the tread, align it to the prole and press to get a perfect adhesion. You can tap it
softly with a rubber hammer.
5. Clean the possible leftover material and let dry.
• Part of the composition of Maxi and MaxiKenya is natural, so it may have differences in tone that
can not be considered as manufacturing defects.
• It is recommended to take the proles by its central part, avoiding taking them by the tops to avoid
bending stresses which could cause scratches or breaks.
• Do not bend excessively the material. Store it always horizontally and in dry places.
• It must not be sanded, because that could affect to its surface appearance.
• It resists in moisture conditions but it is no recommended its use in submerged places.
• The range MaxiKenya is especially recommended for installations outdoors because it has an
excellent weatherability and remains unalterable under sun exposure.
We did not consider testing R11 or R12 ooring. The R11 and R12 are highly secure and non-sliding
oorings, so we can extrapolate that our stair nosings in combination with R11 oorings maybe will not
improve more but surely maintain the initial classication of the ooring.
Please, take into account that our proles are not certiable by themselves. Our Novopeldaño®
Maxi is not a prole classied as R9 or R10. What we are certifying is that our Novopeldaño® Maxi can
be combined with ceramics, thereby improving its slip resistance value and even, in some cases, its
classication.
Please note that this tests have been carried out with an especic ooring. This do not guarantee the
same results with other oorings classied as well as R9 or R10. There is a wide range of oorings in
the markets and the results of R9 oorings, for example, can uctuate between 6 and 10º. We can say
that your slip resistance value will be improved but not in the same way.
