Corner Outside Profile AKS NZ 18x20 MKE 111371 – AKS external corner profile 18×20 mm

AKS NZ 18x20 MKE 111371 is an external corner profile designed to finish and protect building edges with a defined 18×20 mm cross-section. Produced by AKS, this corner profile provides a clean, straight edge for façades, cladding, plaster or trim systems where a robust external corner solution is required. The profile is intended to reinforce vulnerable corners, reduce damage from impact or abrasion, and ensure a uniform visual transition between adjoining surfaces.

Advantages

The AKS external corner profile offers dimensional stability and consistent edge protection suitable for construction finishing. Its 18×20 mm geometry delivers a precise, repeatable corner line, simplifying alignment during installation and improving the final appearance of the covered joint. The profile reduces maintenance by protecting plaster and cladding edges from chipping and wear, and its design supports mechanical fastening or embedding in plaster layers depending on installation method.

Suitable for

• Exterior and interior façades where a defined 18×20 mm external corner is required
• Cladding and render systems to protect outer corners from impact
• Plasterboard and plaster edges to prevent chipping and ensure a straight finish
• Renovation projects where existing corners need reinforcement

Key specifications

• Profile cross-section: 18 × 20 mm external corner geometry
• Function: edge reinforcement and impact protection for external corners
• Typical applications: façades, cladding, plaster, trim and render systems
• Material compatibility: suitable for embedding in plaster or fixing to cladding substrates (follow material-specific fixation methods)
• Finish: designed to provide a straight visible edge; can be overcoated or covered according to finishing material

How to use

Position the AKS external corner profile along the outer edge to be finished, ensuring the 18×20 mm section aligns with the intended visible line. Where embedding in plaster or render, press the profile into the fresh layer and check alignment with a straightedge or spirit level. For mechanical fixing to cladding or substrate, secure the profile using appropriate fasteners or adhesives recommended for the substrate material, and then finish with the chosen render, plaster or trim to integrate the profile flush with adjoining surfaces. Cut to length with suitable metal shears or a fine-toothed saw and deburr edges before final installation.

Usage recommendations

Confirm substrate compatibility and select fixation methods appropriate to the installation environment. Protect the profile from corrosive chemicals and excessive moisture during storage and transport. For long-term performance, follow standard installation practices for render and cladding systems, allow full curing of applied materials, and perform periodic inspections of external corners in high-traffic or impact-prone locations.
