Our history

BetteUpstand

Perfect security in the bathroom

The silicone-free wall connection BetteUpstand is the intelligent alternative to vulnerable maintenance joints. Baths, shower trays and shower areas are given a 35mm upturn in glazed titanium steel that is simply tiled over during installation and connected to the wall. The result is the optically and hygienically perfect connection of wall and bath. BetteUpstand protects against mould and water damage, and saves the regular costs incurred for the renewal of silicone joints.

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

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

Practical tip:

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

Versions for the installation of shower screens

: With wall extension

The hinge goes in front of the trimmed tile (no additional joints).

Without wall extension

With shortened upstand and trimmed tile.
: With wall extension

A small piece of tile is placed behind the shower screen in order to close the hollow space.
: With wall extension

The U-profile is surrounded by the tiles.

Without wall extension

Shortened upstand with a U-profile shower screen.

Precisely planned, perfectly installed.

: The principle applies for solid and lightweight construction: the walls are plastered as usual or covered with 2 lightweight panels. As the bath or shower tray with BetteUpstand is inset in the wall, the unfinished wall must be filled or recessed by at least 11 mm (C).
: Apply the insulating tape to the back of the sealing fleece (premounted at the factory), then attach flush to the top from the back.
: Align the bath or shower tray and optionally fix it with anchors. Then work the sealing fleece into the compound seal with waterproofing filler.
: Make sure that the tile ends flush against the perforation of the insulating tape. When you have finished tiling, you can detach the lower part of the insulating tape.
