Aluminum
Novocanto® Aluminum is a prole made by extrusion of aluminum. The bright gold and bright silver
nishes have been anodized, improving mainly by this process their corrosion resistance, mechanical
resistance and appearance. The anodized applied has the quality seal Qualanod, which guarantees the
quality of the process and the resulting proles. This seal regulates several tests: appearance and color,
thickness measurements, sealing and impregnation control, abrasion resistance, lightfastness, acetic
saline chamber and nitric acid immersion.
Natural nish has no extra treatment, so it would be necessary to apply a protection to improve its
durability outdoors.
Aluminum is a material with excellent chemical, physical and mechanical properties. It is lightweight,
tough, ductile, malleable and highly durable.
The complementary piece of Novocanto® Aluminum is made of Zamak. Zamak is a non ferrous alloy
of Zinc with aluminium, magnesium and copper (UNE EN 1774). It is tough, has high hardness, high
mechanical strength and excellent plastic deformability.

1. Tile one of the sides of the wall to be tiled. Then, spread a big amount of thin-set mortar on the
other side.
2. Place the prole aligned to the corner and press it to let the thin-set mortar pass through the holes
on the anchoring wing.
3. Place tiles along the anchoring wing and continue pressing to get an optimal adhesion.
4. Continue tiling the wall.
5. Finally, clean the leftover material, remove the protective lm if necessary and let dry.
