Dekor 1701 Aluminium Internal Rendering Rule — 1.5 m – 1 Piece

Dekor 1701 Aluminium Internal Rendering Rule is a lightweight, easy‑to‑handle levelling tool with a 1.5‑metre profile, engineered to produce true, even, and smooth surfaces during plaster, gypsum, and finishing work in confined‑to‑medium interiors — bathrooms, kitchens, corridors, and passageways. Its one‑piece seamless construction resists bending and flexure, retaining factory precision year after year. Supplied as 1 piece per unit.

Product Information

Features & Benefits

• 1.5 m Length for Tight Spaces: Perfectly sized where longer rules won’t fit — bathrooms, kitchens, toilets, balconies, and narrow corridors; manoeuvres easily into wall corners, between windows, and beside door frames
• Light & Agile Build: At roughly 1.5 kg, easily held and guided one‑handed; causes minimal fatigue when working overhead or in confined zones for extended periods
• One‑Piece Seamless Build: Zero joints; no thickness variation or undulation as the rule is drawn — guaranteeing flawless consistency even on short wall sections
• Anodised Protection: Resists gypsum, cement, and lime deposits; cleans easily, does not stain, and will not rust or corrode
• Dual‑Edge Service: Both working edges are fully usable — flip the rule over for extended service life when one side wears
• Perfect for Solo Use: Light, balanced, and designed to be used comfortably alone — ideal for small repairs and touch‑up work
• Highly Portable: Fits effortlessly in any vehicle; stows neatly in bags, tool rolls, and shelves without taking up valuable space — convenient for site‑to‑site and in‑property carry

Application Areas

• Confined Interiors: Plaster and gypsum work in bathrooms, kitchens, toilets, balconies, and narrow connecting corridors
• Corners & Edges: Straightness control at internal/external corners, between window reveals, beside doorways, around pipes, and in tight transition zones
• Repair & Spot Finishing: Localised wall patches, partial plaster renewal, small‑area levelling, and stain‑cover corrections
• Gypsum & Finishing Coats: Achieving a mirror‑smooth final surface with thin‑layer gypsum, filler, and ready‑mixed skim coats
• Screed & Floors: Levelling screeds and setting drainage slopes in bathrooms, kitchens, and balcony bases prior to waterproofing
• Training & Detail Work: Easy‑to‑handle size for trainees, beginners, and precision work where close control matters

Internal vs External Rule — Key Differences

• Internal Rule (1701): Lightweight optimised profile; excellent results indoors, easy to handle, cost‑effective. Not designed for prolonged outdoor exposure.
• External Rule (1705): Thicker, wider section; engineered to resist wind, rain, sun, and temperature variation — correspondingly heavier.
• Both share identical nominal lengths but differ in profile depth and weight; an external rule can be used indoors but adds unnecessary fatigue.

Usage & Maintenance Guidelines

• Rinse with water before and after use to remove gypsum, cement, and mortar residues immediately; hardened material compromises edge straightness
• Do not drop onto hard surfaces; a bent profile will not pull true
• Store flat on a level base or hang vertically; avoid leaving resting on one edge for long periods
• Dress lightly worn edges with fine abrasive or a file as needed
• If fitting an extension handle or pull grip, ensure connection points seat fully and securely
• Keep indoors in a dry, shaded location; do not leave outside — interior sections degrade gradually under weather exposure

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the 1.5 m internal rule be used externally?
Not recommended. The interior profile is not engineered for outdoor exposure; prolonged wind, rain, and sun may cause warping. Choose Dekor 1705 for exterior facades.

Is the 1.5 m length jointed or solid?
Solid one‑piece extrusion with no joins; exceptionally easy to transport and store, fitting into tight spaces everywhere.

Can one person use it?
Yes — this is the ideal size and weight for comfortable solo operation with no assistance needed.

Will grips from other brands fit?
Manufactured to general standards; Dekor‑branded grips are recommended for guaranteed fit and trouble‑free operation.

Can it be straightened if bent?
It may be realigned, but will not fully recover original precision once deformed; avoiding impacts is essential.

Does it come as a single unit?
Yes — supplied as 1 piece per package; bulk order quantities may be specified when ordering multiple units.
