The Limaflex® support rim provides pavings slabs, stone paving, gravel and crushed stone with the necessary support, prevents the outer base layer from giving way and facilitates the design and construction of your outdoor area.
Profile heights of 55, 120 and 200 mm are available, depending on application.
Special concrete/ground anchors provide particularly strong support for heavily used profiles.
The support rim can be laid easily and in almost any shape, makes efficient use of materials and does not require special tools. Despite its low weight it is extremely robust and does not decay, crack or rust unlike wood, plastic or steel. Aluminium has proven itself over decades as a more durable and weather-resistant building material with an extrem high recyclable proportion .
Limaflex® Option roof
When using profiles of heights of 55 and 120 mm with water flow openings and with 90° profile anchors for mounting, the support rim is also ideal for roof greening.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Internal, not visible profile connection
- Clean lines and contours
- Easy to transport and easy laying
- Reusable, corrosion-resistant and recyclable aluminium alloy
- Malleable for the individual design of arcs, circles and free forms
- Moveable and individually adjustable profile anchors and concrete/ground anchors
Installation Notes Limaflex®
- The Limaflex® support rim (P55/12/20) is largely integrated into the newly created surfaces. The rim can be installed so that the upper profile edge is either above, below or flush with the surface to be created later.
- The special profile shape allows the number and position of the anchors to be adjusted to the relevant building project and the surface being built on.
- The profiles can be quickly and easily cut to length with a conventional hacksaw as needed. Care should be taken to ensure a clean cut.
- When laying on lawns, please consider the cutting height of lawnmowers!
Installation method with concrete/ground anchors
- Concrete/ground anchors (PBA40/60) or concrete anchors (BA60) will hold the profile in place, even under heavy stress.
- With 55 mm and 120 mm profile heights (P55 und P12), the concrete/ground anchors are inserted laterally into the groove guide of the Limaflex® support rim. With a 200 mm profile height (P20), the concrete anchors are inserted into the profile from below. The quickest way to do this is by first laying the clean support rim on a flat surface with the groove guide facing upwards. A plastic or wooden mallet can be used here.
- Depending on the planned radii and structural conditions, we recommend using approx. 3-4 concrete/ground anchors respectively 2 concrete anchors per running metre.
- Die Beton-/Erdanker werden in den noch weichen, abbindenden Beton bis zum Markierungswulst eingeschoben oder in vorbereitete Punktfundamente gestellt, die im Anschluss mit Beton gefüllt werden. Danach sind sie ggf. waagerecht auszurichten.
- The concrete/ground anchors are pressed into the cement, as far as the marking bulge, while it is setting and still soft or inserted into pre-made point foundations which are then filled with cement. After that they can be aligned horizontally, if necessary.
- Give the cement sufficient time to set. Add and, if necessary, lightly vibrate the fine layer or chipping-sand mixture.
- The profiles are connected by the concrete/ground anchors, which are each inserted halfway into the profile ends. The 12-cm-high profiles (P12) and the 20-cm-high profiles (P20) are also connected with one another in the upper area optionally available profile connector (V12/V20), which is also inserted centrally between the profile ends.
- Optional ready-made segments with specific radii are available.
