Profilpas Balcony and Terrace Profiles that Protect Edges and Guide Water Away
Outdoor tiles and stone look great until the edge starts chipping, staining, or holding water. Profilpas balcony and terrace profiles are built to protect exposed borders, create a crisp finish, and help manage rainwater run-off at the perimeter. At Lapiz Blue, we supply the Profilpas Protec range for balconies, terraces, podiums, and external walkways, with guidance on profile shape, finish, and compatibility with your build-up and tile thickness. If you share your edge detail or drawing, we'll help you pick a clean, long-lasting solution that fits the site conditions.

Applications & Best-Fit Scenarios
Balcony edges where tile corners chip from foot traffic and moving furniture
Terrace perimeters that need a clean border and controlled drip line
Podium decks and external corridors where water must not creep back under the finish
Renovations where you want a sharper edge without redoing the whole surface build-up
Outdoor steps and landings where edge protection improves durability and finish quality
Areas with frequent wash-down or exposure to rain and wind-driven dust
How to Choose the Right Balcony or Terrace Profile
Start with the build-up: tile thickness, adhesive bed, and whether you need the profile to sit flush or create a visible drip edge
Decide the water behaviour you want: "guide water away" edges vs simple border protection
Choose material based on exposure: stainless steel for higher corrosion resistance, aluminium when you want more finish choices
Check the edge condition: straight edge, rounded, or a detail that needs a specific section shape (helps avoid awkward cuts)
Consider traffic and impact: balconies and shared terraces need stronger edge protection than light-use patios
Plan your corners and terminations early: inside and outside corners look best when accessories and cuts are planned, not improvised
If waterproofing is part of the assembly, ensure the edge detail supports the full terrace system approach (not a "profile-only" fix)
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Choosing a profile purely by looks and ignoring tile thickness and build-up
- Skipping the drip edge requirement on exposed terraces and then fighting water marks later
- Leaving corners and terminations to "site fixing" instead of planning accessories and cuts
- Mixing finishes across edges and transitions, making the job look patched
- Treating the profile as waterproofing instead of part of a complete terrace edge solution

Frequently Asked Questions
They protect exposed edges from chipping and weathering, give a clean finish line, and help manage water run-off at the perimeter.
No. They support a better edge detail, but waterproofing should be designed and installed as a system.
Stainless steel is often preferred for tougher exposure and corrosion resistance. Aluminium gives more finish variety and is widely used when specified correctly.
Share your tile thickness and edge build-up (tile + adhesive). The right section depends on whether you need a flush edge or a drip edge.
Yes, but selection depends on thickness and the edge detail. Thicker finishes usually need profiles designed for that build-up.
Both. Many projects use them to upgrade the edge finish during terrace refurbishment or re-tiling.

Profiles for Balconies and Terraces
Edging profiles for balconies and terraces by Profilpas guarantee excellent protection from the elements and embellish the outdoor space by framing the distinctive architectural features. The Protec range offers a wide range of products in various shapes, sizes and materials. There are many different edging profiles to protect the outer edges of terraces and balconies effectively and elegantly.
The Protec Range
The availability of different shapes and sections further extends the choice available to customers. The purpose of these elements is to carry away rainwater and help protect the underlying surfaces. The product range includes: Protec CPCV-CPCI, Protec CPCV/30/, Protec CPGVD/30, Protec CPNV, Protec CPGV, Protec CPQV, Protec CPEV-CPEI, Protec CPHA, and Protec CPLV.
Material Options
As regards the composition, the profiles come in aluminium and stainless steel. The aluminium versions are also available in a variety of different finishes, to bring a touch of elegance and originality to balconies and terraces. Stainless steel is often preferred for tougher exposure and corrosion resistance in coastal areas.
Outdoor-First Focus
These profiles are designed with outdoor conditions in mind - edging that supports perimeter finishing and water run-off control, not just decoration. The right profile choice protects your investment and reduces long-term maintenance issues from water damage and edge deterioration.
Practical Selection Support
Lapiz Blue provides practical selection help: matching the profile to tile thickness, build-up, and edge detail (flush vs drip). We also offer finish guidance for coastal and high-exposure areas, helping you choose between aluminium and stainless steel options based on your specific site conditions.
Complete System Approach
One place for profiles plus coordination with the rest of your tile edge and floor transition profiles, so details stay consistent across the project. We can help coordinate balcony profiles with your indoor flooring profiles for a cohesive finish throughout.
