DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a plastering and lining strip for window stiles, door stiles or the like at the transition to the plaster, having the following features:
(a) the strip has a base region which is provided on its rear side with an adhesive strip for securing the strip to the window stile, door stile or the like;
(b) the strip has at least one web which projects away from the front side of the base region and extends along the strip;
(c) a strip-shaped protective cover plate is provided which is connected to the base region of the strip by a breakoff material bridge of small thickness.
A strip of this type is known from DE 87 15 604 U.
In the construction of buildings, the typical procedure is to insert window stiles and door stiles (these are the stationary window frames or door frames which are permanently connected to the building) into corresponding wall openings of the shell and secure them there. In a later phase, the shell is plastered outside and inside. The connection of the plaster to the window stile or door stile is a critical juncture, particularly on the outside of the shell, because the plaster adjoins the material of the window stile or door stile (normally wood, plastic or metal) on the front side, and does not enter into a perfect bond there. Because the plaster shrinks slightly during drying, and because window stiles and door stiles are exposed to jarring, for example when the windows or doors are slammed shut, the danger exists that a crack or split will form between the plaster and the window stile or door stile. Then moisture can enter, which damages the window stile or door stile, and/or damages the plaster over time, for example resulting in crumbling of the plaster. Moreover, during plastering it is inevitable that plastering material is sprayed around. Plaster splashes can only be removed from the window stiles or door stiles with difficulty, if at all. This is arduous and time-consuming work; specks are frequently left behind.
These problems are solved with the above-mentioned, known plastering and lining strip. Prior to plastering of the shell, these strips are adhered along the left edge of the window stile or door stile, along its right edges and along its upper edge, and, occasionally--depending on the window sill construction--along the lower edge of the window stile or door stile. A film that spans the window surface or door surface inside the strips is adhered to the protective cover plates. In this way the affected window stile or door stile is perfectly protected against the accumulation of spraying plaster. The plaster ends at the strip material, allowing this connection to remain tight permanently. The elastic adhesive strip, which acts at the same time as a sealing strip, causes a decoupling of the jarring between the window stile or door stile and the strip with the plastering connected to the strip.
An aspect of the plastering and lining strips known up to now that is perceived as disadvantageous is that the web projecting away from the front side of the base region and typically lying approximately parallel to the wall surface to be plastered (or, if two webs are present, the web further away from the wall to be plastered) remains visible after plastering, because the flat side of the web which is further away from the wall to be plastered is used as a drawing-off edge during plastering, and--in the viewing direction of the plastered wall, at a right angle to the plastered wall surface--the plaster ends at the free end face of the web (even if--in this viewing direction--the plaster extends further in the direction of the window stile or door stile, behind the web).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention is to make available a plastering and lining strip of the type mentioned at the outset which is considerably less visible after the application of the plaster.
To accomplish this object, in accordance with the invention, the strip is characterized in that
(d) the base region of the strip has a strip-shaped spacin
