Schluter-BARA-ESOT is a stainless steel right-angle support profile for attaching base tiles to non-load-bearing substrates. These substrates include metal flashing or bituminous waterproofing layers that are used at floor/wall transitions on balconies and terraces. A foam insulation strip, cut to the same height as the base tile, is placed between the vertical leg of the profile and the wall to prevent a force-conductive bond. The trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg of BARA-ESOT is anchored between the setting bed and the tile. The special perforations of the vertical leg position BARA-ESOT approximately 1/32" from the insulating strip and promote a mechanical bond between the thin-set mortar and vertical leg. Base tiles installed on BARA-ESOT will resist normal impact caused by brooms or mops.

• Designed for exterior applications at floor/wall transitions
• Perforated anchor fin that is embedded in the mortar bed between the mortar bed and the tiles
• Tile installed on BARA-ESOT will withstand normal broom or floor mop traffic
