Montaje de Ménsulas y Canecillos Paso a Paso

Manual profesional sobre el replanteo rítmico bajo aleros exteriores, fijación química reforzada y sellado contra la intemperie.

La correcta instalación de las ménsulas y canecillos de poliuretano crea un ritmo clásico armonioso bajo aleros y balcones sin añadir sobrepeso al tejado.

Step 1: Surface Inspection and Layout Marking — Inspect the wall substrate to ensure it is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or peeling paint. Use a laser or spirit level along with a pencil to mark exact vertical centerline placement for each corbel location. Estimated time: 15-20 minutes. Common mistake: Installing over dirty or wet surfaces, which severely reduces adhesive bond strength.
Step 2: Dry Fitting and Angle Adjustment — Position the polyurethane corbel against the wall and overhang junction to verify a flush fit. If angle modifications are necessary, trim the edge using a fine-tooth hand saw or a low-speed miter saw set to a 45-degree angle. Estimated time: 10 minutes per piece. Common mistake: Cutting at high blade speeds, which can melt the polyurethane edge and ruin joint alignment.
Step 3: Polyurethane Adhesive Application — Apply a continuous bead of polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive along the back and top contact surfaces of the corbel. Avoid using silicone adhesives completely. Ensure continuous adhesive beads near the perimeter to prevent water entry behind the bracket. Estimated time: 5 minutes per piece. Common mistake: Applying silicone or insufficient adhesive, leading to eventual bond separation.
Step 4: Mechanical Fastening and Anchor Setting — Press the corbel firmly into position along the marked layout lines until adhesive squeezes out slightly. Drill countersunk pilot holes through the recessed decorative zones of the corbel into the substrate, insert wall dowels, and drive stainless steel screws to secure the unit. Polure technical guidelines require mechanical fasteners alongside PU adhesive for safety compliance. Estimated time: 10 minutes per piece. Common mistake: Over-tightening screws, which can crack the hard polyurethane surface layer.
Step 5: Joint Filling and Sanding — Fill countersunk screw heads and joint seams with an exterior-grade polyurethane-compatible filler or joint putty. Allow the putty to cure fully, then sand the filled areas smooth using grano 180-220 sandpaper until flush with the factory finish. Estimated time: 20 minutes (plus curing time). Common mistake: Sanding with coarse paper under 180-grit, which scratches the factory primer layer.
Step 6: Coating and UV Paint Application — Apply an optional spot coat of primer over filled zones if required. Coat all exposed faces of the corbel with a minimum of 2 coats of premium UV-resistant exterior paint, adhering to the paint manufacturer's dry-time instructions between coats. Polure decorative brackets achieve maximum service life when sealed with high-grade exterior paint systems. Estimated time: 30 minutes active time. Common mistake: Omitting UV-resistant paint on exterior facades, causing premature yellowing under sunlight.

Paso 1: Replanteo y Separación Rítmica (60 a 90 cm)

Divida la longitud del alero en tramos iguales de 60 a 90 cm entre ejes y marque los puntos de colocación con plomada o nivel láser.

Paso 2: Aplicación del Adhesivo y Anclaje Mecánico

Aplique adhesivo de poliuretano adhesivo de montaje a base de PU en el dorso y la cara superior del canecillo con densidad 150-220 kg/m³ (objetivo de producción ~160 kg/m³). Presione bajo el alero y fije un tornillo con taco en la pestaña superior oculta. Tiempo de curado: aproximadamente una hora.

Paso 3: Sellado Perimetral y Pintura para Fachadas UV

Selle las juntas perimetrales con masilla exterior elástica, repase con lija fina grano 180-220 y pinte con pintura con filtro UV sobre la imprimación imprimación acrílica blanca monocomponente en temperaturas -100 °C / +80 °C. Inmune al agua (inferior al 1%).
