Novoescocia® 4 aluminum is a prole made by extrusion of aluminum. Matt silver nish has been
anodized, improving through this process their corrosion resistance, mechanical resistance and
appearance. It 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.
On the other hand, lacquered nish obtains a high quality and homogeneus surface. The lacquering has
the quality seal Qualicoat, which guarantees the quality of the process and the nal products.
Aluminum has excellent chemical, physical and mechanical properties. It is lightweight, tough, ductile,
malleable and highly durable.
The complementary pieces of Novoescocia® 4 aluminum are made of Zamak. The 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.
Please, clean the surface destinated to the installation of Novoescocia® 4 aluminum:
1. Cover generously the back face of Novoescocia® 4 aluminum with an adhesive silicone type “MS
Sealing/Express Adhesive” from Fischer or similar.
2. Fill also the posterior cavity with the same adhesive to ensure a perfect sealing and good grip.
3. Place the Novoescocia® 4 aluminum on the corner and press rmly ensuring a good contact
between both surfaces
4. Finally clean the remaining material and let dry.
* In humid environments or in direct touch with water, it is recommended to seal the joints between
Novoescocias® with silicones.
