Advantages of the BetteUpstand

  • glass-like surface
  • bacteria are unable to adhere
  • resistant and easy to keep clean
  • glazed titanium steel is completely waterproof
  • less expensive in the long term as there are no silicone joints to replace

Disadvantages of traditional Silicone

  • real dirt traps
  • good breeding ground for germs and bacteria
  • a possible target for mould
  • difficult to clean
  • porous joints cause water damage
  • repairs are tedious and expensive

Tested waterproof

to DIN 18534.

Under DIN 18534, baths and shower trays must be sealed in a special way. Silicone is not enough. In addition to the use of conventional sealing tapes, the building regulation calls for the upstand as a standard solution. In order to check the seal on the BetteUpstand, it was subjected to endurance testing at Kiwa, the independent test institute. This test confirmed the seal of the BetteUpstand based on guideline ETAG 022.

Made-to-measure

for any room situation

1. Standard BetteUpstand

The BetteUpstand is a 35 mm high, enamelled upturn of the tray or bath edge, of which 12 mm is tiled over during installation.

2. Shortened upstand

The BetteUpstand can also be specifically adapted for corners and niches where the wall does not continue. We recommend setting the upstand back by 10 mm. The front can then be neatly tiled over and the clear joint line of the splashback is retained. The sides of the bath and shower tray on which BetteUpstand is to be shortened are determined by the individual installation situation. Bette will shorten the upstands for one or both sides, on request.

3. Upstand to measure

So the benefits of BetteUpstand can be enjoyed even in rooms with unusual dimensions, upstands can be individually adapted for baths, shower trays and shower areas in accordance with a customised drawing. Thanks to this flexibility, the BetteUpstand can be integrated into virtually any bathroom design.

Free choice

of wall covering

The BetteUpstand can be tiled in the classic manner or installed with seamless walls in glass or waterproof HPL composite panel.

  1. HPL panel
  2. Genuine glass

Practical tip:

If using cut fine stoneware or glazed tiles, we recommend the use of an end rail.

Precisely planned,

1. Preparing the wall

The principle is the same for solid and lightweight constructions. The walls are plastered as usual or clad with 2 lightweight panels. As the bath or shower tray with the BetteUpstand is inset in the wall, the unfinished wall must be filled or recessed by at least 13 mm(C).

2. Preparing the bath

Glue the insulating tape to the back of the sealing fleece that was fitted at the factory.

3. Fixing

Align the bath or shower tray, and fix with the bath anchors (included). Then work the sealing fleece into the compound seal with waterproofing filler.

4. Finish

Glue the narrow insulating tape flush with the bottom edge of the sealing fleece.

5. Tile

Ensure that the tile ends flush with the insulating tape. The BetteUpstand is tiled over to about 12 mm.
