Sealux Aquastrap 3400mm Sealing Strip

What is Aquastrap?
Aquastrap is a flexible retro-fit up-stand seal installed onto the perimeter side walls of shower trays and baths before final location against adjacent walls.

When installed, the up-stand is sandwiched between the wall and tile while a silicone joint is maintained between the bottom edge of the tile and ledge.
 
   
Aquastrap comprises of:

    flexible up-stand
    silicone isolating membrane
    butyl adhesive tape
    lower release liner
    upper release liner.
Aquastrap Technology
 
   

1. Remove Upper Liner
   


2. Hang Aquastrap
    Two release liners on the adhesive face allow a ‘hang and bond’ first and second fix installation method. This makes installation very simple!

To install Aquastrap the upper release liner is removed and the exposed face progressively hung on the first side wall so the top edge of the butyl is level with the ledge.

After completion of the hanging process, the lower release liner is removed and Aquastrap is permanently bonded to the first side wall.

The remaining side walls are done in a similar fashion.

This method allows installers the opportunity to remove and reposition Aquastrap in the event of an initial misalignment and thereafter progressively press out potential air pockets during the second fix bonding process.

3. Remove lower liner
   


4. Bond Aquastrap
     

An isolating membrane isolates the sealant from the up-stand eliminating the problem of ‘yellowing due to plasticiser migration’.
