The XXL gravel stop

Company Richard Brink presents Silex Max separation profiles

Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock, 12.11.2024:
Richard Brink GmbH & Co. KG specialises in products and solutions for a wide range of areas around the house – from roofs to drainage and dewatering, right through to planting systems for the garden. The metal products manufacturer applies its business philosophy to everything it does, consistently striving to meet a broad scope of structural requirements and site conditions. This also holds true for the new Silex Max separation profile: produced to fit the exact dimensions of every façade, it enables the easy installation of an eaves protection strip around the entire house.

While the Silex gravel stop produced by Richard Brink has long functioned as a universal solution for bordering one-sided fills in all kinds of outdoor projects, the Silex Max separation profile was specifically developed to create a protection strip that runs along the house façade. This prevents the occurrence of moisture damage at the base of the building and, combined with the integrated stone fill, acts as a splash guard while enhancing the overall look of the façade. Like the gravel stop, the separation profile essentially builds on an L-shaped structure with integrated drainage slots. It differs primarily in terms of dimensions and construction. The profile is produced with a height of 150mm and a 320mm-wide supporting base as standard, however it can also be configured and delivered with a custom fit for each individual façade.

Well thought through

As well as the actual profile, available in 2.0mm-thick stainless steel or hot-dip galvanised steel, the Eastern Westphalia metal products manufacturer offers a number of ancillary products such as inner and outer corners. What is more, wall anchors and plug-in connections make on-site installation a breeze, especially compared with traditional edging products made from slabs of concrete or stone. The Silex Max can be fitted adjacent to the neighbouring paving or lawn area before being filled with the required gravel between the façade and upstand. A robust grating support is also available for door areas that can hold compatible gratings in a range of designs, ensuring a barrier-free transition to the entrance over the separation profile.
