Yet another idea.


Making good products even better is our business.
Creating unique products is our passion.

Many of todays products are so similar, they look just like eggs in a basket. This is because some
manufacturers just follow the beaten track. At PROLINE we think differently. We believe that our products
should be oriented to meet the needs and wishes of our customers. Or, for that matter, to changing
technical demands. That is why we constantly strive to improve our products. And, of course, to develop
new products that solve specific problems.
Of course, not all products can be a stroke of genius. Very often its the little things that make all the
difference. For example, the idea for our high-grade stainless steel profile PROSTYLE: offering matching
internal as well as external corner elements to achieve greater aesthetics of design. Or the development
of a special production process that aligns our profiles to the cutting direction, thus ensuring accuracy.
This greatly simplifies installation and achieves optimum results.

Other innovations with all modesty are simply ingenious, such as our floor profile systems
PROVARIO and PROCLIP. Thanks to their unique swivel joint technology, they are the first profiles to
allow a perfect transition between different flooring materials, made possible by their infinite height
and angle adjustment. This makes them particularly suitable for floorings of varying height.
Improvements like these naturally demand considerable input in the field of research & development.
Our products may sometimes seem a little more expensive than those of our competitors, but the
amount of quality and care that goes into their development and manufacture is priceless. Besides, from
PROLINE you dont just get the run-of-the-mill products offered by everyone else, but perhaps that
little extra profile, too.

Tile Profiles
Its often the little things that make all the difference
between living and lifestyle.

A new bathroom? New tiles or natural stone? These are decisions that are always swung by opting
for more beauty and aesthetics and for an ambience that gives a feeling of well-being. And as this is usually
a long-term decision.
The selection of materials is of paramount importance. Its a decision that needs careful consideration
and often a lot of time. But the result can only be perfect if all the details fall into place. And choosing the
right profile can play a key role. After all, it safeguards the vulnerable outer edges of your tiles, helping to
keep your bathroom beautiful for longer. The right tile profile can also be an added design highlight, giving
your bathroom its very own personal aesthetic identity.
It may be a small detail, but its one that can have a great impact as long as the question of tile
profile is integrated into the overall planning at the right time. So, for that perfect and personal interior
design result, just add a little more profile.

EXPERT Tip!
Align the K profile on the existing concrete floor (please
note! The guidelines and regulations for sealing the screed must
be complied with), before applying the gravel bed (approximately
20-30 mm). Install the selected flooring (e. g. washed concrete
slabs) on the gravel bed. Ensure that the upper edge of the
flooring is flush with or slightly protrudes the profile edge.
Matching connectors and outer corner elements complete the
overall picture.

PROFLUX
Floor drainage top with mounting frame.
PROFLUX is the ideal floor drainage top for later installation, such as bathroom renovation.The element
is simply placed over the existing gully and functions as a compensator profile between the screed layer
and the new tiling. The mounting frame ensures positioning at the correct level.

Areas of application:

Dimensions:

Renovating element for deeper-seated floor


drains in private use (foot traffic only, not for
heavy loads) and in areas with low chemical
exposure (depending on the expected degree
of exposure to chemicals and mechanical
stress, the respective stainless steel or aluminium
model should be accordingly).
Compensator frame between the screed layer
and the new tiling.

Formats from 150 mm x 150 mm to 250 mm x 250 mm


Depth for aluminium models: minimum depth 8 mm
(can be adjusted to fit the depth of the tile during
installation).
Depth for stainless steel models: 8 mm, 10 mm

Materials and colours:


Shiny aluminium
Brushed stainless steel 1.4301 (V2A)

Not only practical, but looks good, too: PROFLUX with removable
drainage top and mounting frame in brushed stainless steel (left

Mats, films and sealing tapes


They work a little like secret agents: you dont see them, you dont hear
them and they dont give anything away.

Whether you like it or not: subsurface work may not enjoy the best reputation, but it is extremely
important. Our mats, films and tapes ensure peace of mind, because they protect expensive tiling and
reliably prevent moisture penetrating into walls and floors.
Careful preparation of the foundations, however, is still essential for effective protection. For example, prior
to installation the PROMAT decoupling mat, it must be ensured that the foundation has adequate load
bearing capacity and is level. With the PRODRAIN drainage mat, the foundations must be correctly sealed
prior to installation.
Expert preparation and careful installation, along with reliable PROLINE products, ensure that wall and
floor coverings are not subject to damage by cracks and moisture and retain their attractiveness for longer.

Please ask for our technical dater sheet.

PRODRAIN
Polyethylene drainage mat with fleece upper layer.
Materials and colours:

Areas of application:

Polyethylene, with fleece upper layer


Indentation height approximately 10 mm
Material thickness of indented roll 0.6 mm,
fleece 0.45 mm
Yellow (RAL 1023

The drainage mat enables effective drainage in


accordance with DIN 12958.
The drainage mat enables pressureless run-off
of penetrating water over the entire surface
between the waterproofing membrane laid at
a gradient and the load-distributing layer
(screed or gravel). Residual water cannot cause
any damage to the waterproofing membrane
or load-distributing layer as water expansion
during freezing conditions occurs in the welldeveloped drainage channels.

Dimensions:

Roll 12.5 m2

PROMAT
Polyethylene decoupling mat with fleece backing.
Materials and colours:

Areas of application:

Polyethylene with fleece backing


Indentation height approximately 3.4 mm
Material thickness of indented roll 0.5 mm,
fleece 0.4 mm
Yellow (RAL 1023)

PROMAT made high density polyethylene with fleece


backing is suitable for use when laying and decoupling
ceramic tile flooring on critical foundations.
Used with PROBAND sealing tape/butt-joining tape,
PROMAT protects wooden foundations against
permeating moisture from above.
Decoupling mats can simply be laid out on the surface
or bedded in adhesive. The decoupling mat is not
waterproof under pressure but works as a vapour
pressure membrane (against rising damp) by distributing the pressure over the surface, in the room between
the indentations. Stress cracks in the foundations (e.g.
the load distributing layer or other substrate layers)
are not transferred to the floor finish.

Dimensions:

Roll 5 m2 and 30 m2

They are trodden on daily, yet still do their job and manage to look great at the same time. We are,
of course, talking about PROLINE floor profiles: as tough as they come and in great shape.To make sure that
they retain these enduring properties over a longer period of time, its not only high-grade materials
and painstaking care in manufacture that are essential. Its also absolutely vital that problems are perfectly
understood and an eye for detail in product development goes a long way, too.
Its the little things like countersunk holes in our screw-down profiles that make them just as gentle to bare
feet as they are to stockings and cleaning cloths. Or completely new products, such as the unique patented profiles PROVARIO and PROCLIP: the first products that can really be adjusted in height and angle to
adapt perfectly to different flooring thicknesses. Dominant throughout is the PROLINE philosophy to
improve or newly develop products to fulfil their function optimally, to be particularly user and customerfriendly and at the same time satisfy even the highest design and aesthetics demands.

33

Go ahead, draw comparisons!


Imitations are the best form of compliment for our products.

The development of PROVARIO


and PROCLIP is above all a
story of intensive market monitoring and scrupulous analysis. While looking closely at the run-of-the-mill
screwdown floor profile systems on the market, we noticed a number of weak points that must considerably detract from the users pleasure in using these products. The root of the problem was that although
existing profiles admirably adjusted to accommodate floor coverings of the same height, achieving any
degree of inclination to compensate the different heights was practically impossible. In other cases, it could
only be achieved by brute force, with spirited hammer blows or by bending the profile top. The outcome
was that, due to the simple boreholes, the screw heads usually protruded, resulting in unpleasant encounters
for feet and stockings.
It was clear that we needed to develop a profile system that would accommodate infinite height and angle adjustment without the need for refitting and in doing
so perfectly compensate different flooring heights.

34

Together with the company Fischerwerke, internationally renowned above all for their legendary
Fischer Wall Plugs, we worked out a system that could meet all these requirements: swivel joint technology.
Tangible results of this development process are the screw-down floor
profile systems PROVARIO, and PROCLIP, where the cover profile is simply
clipped on to the base profile. And thanks to PROCLIPs closed surface,
the cover profile is also available in new abrasion-proof CPL surfaces in
various wood grain designs.

Both profile systems are unique. They are protected under patent law* and are market leaders in terms
of innovation, technology and customer benefit. Its hardly surprising, then, that they are being copied.
These imitation products, however, do not live up to the same standards of functionality
and state-of-the-art technology as PROVARIO and PROCLIP. And we must admit that we
feel rather flattered that once again we have created products have become yardsticks.

PROVARIO and PROCLIP are protected by European Patent EP 1223268.

functional guarantee.

The screw-down floor profile system.


PROVARIO is a profile system in aluminium consisting of transition, compensator and finishing profiles. Whats special about PROVARIO is the swivel
joint in the base profile, allowing the cover profile
infinite height and angle adjustment for adaptation
to adjoining floor coverings. This also enables harmonious transition between different types of
flooring. And theres also an added comfort-bonus
for bare feet: thanks to the four-sided screw cavity,
the screw heads always fit flush to the profile. And
fitting couldnt be easier: Simply screw down or
glue the profile base to the floor, line up the floor
coverings to the join, push the cover profile into
the joint and screw into position. Thats it!

Finishing profile

Clip-in floor profile system with closed surface.


PROCLIP comprises the same elements as PROVARIO and uses the same patented system. With the
transition and compensator profile, the cover profile is clicked into the base profile plastic joint at different
depths, depending on the height of the respective floor coverings. This accommodates floor movement
occurring in correctly installed floating parquet or laminate flooring with soundproofing, without the need
for readjustment. And since PROCLIP has no visible screws, the closed cover profile is also available with
anodized, cork, real wood veneer or the very hard-wearing CPL surface (Continuous Pressure Laminates).
This means that the profile matches the flooring structure with aesthetic perfection.

How to click into place: It couldnt be


easier to change a cover profile.
Starting under the cover profile, push a firmer chisel to the end of the strip and lever
this out of the base profile using a wooden
board. Repeat this procedure approximately
every 10cm, until the cover profile has been
completely levered out of the base profile.
Check that the plastic joint is still functional.
Should you wish to replace the joint, slice
it sharply twice using a carpet knife while
still in the base profile, so that it can be
removed from the base profile in two halves.
Now push the new plastic joint down at an
angle into the base profile, starting at the
end of the strip. The cover profile is inserted
using the same technique as for first installation.
