KZE® external rim-lintel profile

KZE® and KWE® rim-lintel profiles eliminate expensive and time-consuming process of rims development with decking on external walls. Fitted to wall dimensions and ceiling height, permanent formwork enables efficient and safe rim finishing. Concrete-ceramsite reinforced KZE® and KWE® rim-lintel profiles can be applied in multi-rib joist ceilings (Teriva, Ceram, Fert, Porotherm, etc.), integrated reinforced concrete ceilings made of prefebricated reinforced concrete slabs (Filigran, 2K, PSKJ etc.), and reinforced hollow concrete slabs.

KZE® external rim-lintel profile is ‘’L”-shaped in cross-section and serves rims finishing on the external walls.

Rim-lintel profiles application distributes the ceiling load evenly on the walls, what is essential in case of walls made of ceramic blocks and cellular concrete blocks. Moreover, rim-lintel profiles application solves the problem appearing during a lowered rim building, namely – there is no need of using the stanchions (whole ceiling bolting) in the course of bottom rim reinforcement under the ceiling creation.

Rim-lintels profiles application is economically and technologically rational (100 m2 of ceiling saved per 1 m3 of concrete). What is more, basing the joists with rim-lintel profiles support on the load-bearing walls enhances the aesthetic aspect of construction, because rim finishing together with these elements constitutes so-called permanent formwork.

Rim-lintel profiles application advantages:

  • universality – they may be used for ceiling rim development on both single- and multi-layered walls, regardless of the wall elements material,
  • safety during ceiling laying and outpouring,
  • proper rim building facilitation,
  • installation supports (bolting) elimination,
  • rim reinforcement length elimination,
  • even ceiling load on the walls,
  • rim aesthetic.

Mortar

For rim-lintel profiles laying on the walls, there should be applied M10 cement mortar (meeting requirements of PN-EN 998-2:2004 standard). Mortar consistency, determined in concrete examinations, should be 6 ÷ 7 cm.
