The APU drip bead DROP-TEX-TRE is used horizontally in compound heat insulation sys- tems for recessed building elements, such as window and door jambs. The cranked profile contour with its transparent drip edge provides a reliable solution in respect of downward guidance of water.
The profile has two punched plaster bars. Welded onto every bar is a fabric strip. Each bar has a fabric overhang on one side of 10cm in the lengthways direction. To improve plaster take-up, the surfaces of the plaster edges are grooved.
