53 mm aluminium ITE starter rail

53 mm aluminium ITE starter rail, 2.5 m, for external thermal insulation

The starter profile suitable for 50 mm insulation

The 53 mm aluminium ITE starter rail is an essential accessory for installing external thermal insulation using 50 mm-thick insulation boards. Positioned at the bottom of the façade, it creates a perfectly straight base to ensure the insulation system is installed under the best possible conditions. Its use makes it easier to align the insulation panels and significantly improves the quality of the finished work. Made from high-quality aluminium, this starter profile offers long-lasting resistance to moisture, corrosion and climatic variations. It effectively protects the lower part of the insulation assembly against mechanical impact and contributes to the overall durability of the external insulation. It plays a vital role in ensuring the stability of the first row of insulation panels and guaranteeing installation in accordance with ETICS system requirements. The 53 mm starter rail is particularly suitable for standard energy-efficiency renovation projects requiring 50 mm of external insulation. Compatible with expanded polystyrene, rock wool or wood fibre panels, it meets the needs of both building professionals and private individuals wishing to improve the thermal performance of their homes whilst benefiting from an attractive and durable façade.
