installed, the visible side keeps hidden the edges of the tiles,
protecting them from possible damage. Novocanto® Arrow is
available in two heights in anodized nish.

Applications
Novocanto® Flecha is a prole intended to protect and decorate corners in ceramic walls. It also can
be installed as a nish off at medium height.
Materials
Aluminum
Novocanto® Flecha 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.
Alloy: 6063 (AA y ASTM)
L-3441 (UNE 38-301-89)
Fire resistance: M0 (UNE 23-727-90)
Abrasion resistance: Very good
Lightfastness: Excellent
Appearance and color: EN 12373-1

1. Spread a big amount of thin set mortar on the walls.
2. Place the prole on the corner between de two walls and press to achieve a perfect adhesion.
3. Place the rst tile on the right of the prole, aligning it to its geometry. Then continue tiling upwards.
4. Place tiles on the other wall, aligning them to the prole and pressing to get a perfect adhesion.
5. Finally, clean the remaining material, remove the protective lm if necessary and let dry.
The cleaning must be done periodically with a soft cloth. If you use a neutral liquid cleaner, you must
rinse the prole with cold water and dry to remove excess moisture. If dirtiness persists, clean the
prole with a solution with clean water and detergent or neutral soap 5%, brushing with a cloth that
has no particles that could scracht the nish. Ensure the lacquered surface is totally cold (maximum
20ºC) before the cleaning.
Steel wool, abrasive cleaners, souring products as well as strong acids (hydrochloric and
perchloric),strong bases (caustic soda or ammonia) or carbonated solutions are not recommended.
Citric acid is neither recommended because disolves the protective layer of the surface of aluminium.
Waxes, petrolatum, lanolin or similar substances are not appropriate. Solvents containing haloalkanes
(hydrouoroether and chlorinated solvents) and curing accelerators containing chlorides should not be
used (use special accelerators free of chlorides).
