Novopeldaño® Maxi
Applications
Novopeldaño® Maxi is a prole designed to be installed as stair nosing. Its particular visible side
provides a high resistance to slip, helping to fulll with the DB-SUA of the CTE (Spanish Technical
Building Code) by improving the value of slip resistance of the ooring where it is installed.
The installation of Maxi outdoors, could result in a variation of its original color, being signicantly
higher in the range of the redish colors. To avoid color variations due to the continuous sun exposure,
we recommend the installation of the Maxi range indoors. For outdoor installations we recommend the
MaxiKenya range, that has an excellent weatherability and remains unalterable under sun exposure.

Novopeldaño® Maxi is a stair nosing made of Maxi, an exclusive
raw material of Emac® that belongs to the WPC (Wood Plastic
Composite) family of products. Its particular geometry and
appearance contribute to embellish all kind of stairs, specially the
rustic ones, being the perfect alternative to natural wood proles.
Novopeldaño® Maxi joins technology, sustainability, beauty and
security in just one product.

Slip resistance Very good.
UNE-ENV 12633:2003
Slip resistance Very good. See graph below.
DIN 51130
Slip resistance DIN51130
We have tested our Novopeldaño® Maxi under the DIN 51130 standard, to certify its good properties
of slip resistance. This reference had been already tested before under the Spanish standard UNE-
ENV 12633:2003, which is the one required by the CTE (Spanish Technical Building Code).
The tests were carried out in several panels (1000x500 mm.) which consisted of ceramics with
different classications of slipperiness, combined with our Novopeldaño® MaxiKenya proles as it
is shown in the picture.
These tests were carried out by qualied operators of the ITC (Technological Institute of Ceramics).
The results are also available for our reference Novopeldaño® Maxi. Please, check its technical le.
The graph below represents the global results after the tests. The dark red line represents the results for the original ooring,
and the clear one the results in combination with Novopeldaño® Maxi.
The rst ooring tested had a low initial value (2.3), that improved up to 6.5 with Novopeldaño® Maxi, which means that the
initial sliding ooring became a non-slip R9 ooring. The second ooring, certied as R9 (9.4 value) improved its slip resistance
value up to 12.7, changing its classication from R9 class to R10 class. Finally, the last ooring classied as R10 with a value of
17.6, in combination with the prole got a result of 23.7 and R11 class.

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 fulll
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 prole 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 prole 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 proles 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 classication of the ooring.
Please, take into account that our proles are not certiable by themselves. Our Novopeldaño®
Maxi is not a prole classied 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
classication.
Please note that this tests have been carried out with an especic ooring. This do not guarantee the
same results with other oorings classied 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.
