Product Information

Features & Benefits

• 2.5 m Length for Medium‑Large Spaces: True straightness across 2.5 m in one pass — the ideal balanced size for standard living rooms, large bedrooms, and corridors. Lighter and more manoeuvrable than the 3‑metre model
• Interior‑Optimised Profile: Lighter section than exterior rules; causes less arm fatigue when held overhead yet remains rigid and perfectly straight in use
• One‑Piece Seamless Build: Zero joints; no thickness variation or undulation as the rule is drawn — guaranteeing consistent evenness across the entire wall
• 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 when one side wears for extended service life
• Dual‑Grip Ready: Standard pull grips fitted to both ends allow two people to work in perfect symmetry; improved control and smoother finish
• Easy Transport: Fits comfortably inside standard vehicles; convenient to carry between sites and renovation locations

Application Areas

• Standard‑Width Interiors: Gypsum and sand‑cement plaster in living rooms, large bedrooms, open‑plan kitchen–living areas, and corridors
• Gypsum & Finishing Coats: Achieving a flawless smooth finish with thin‑layer gypsum, filler, and ready‑mixed skim coats
• Ceilings & High Zones: Levelling control at standard ceiling heights, beneath cornices, and along wall–ceiling lines
• Screed & Floors: Levelling screeds in medium‑sized rooms, terrace bases, and connecting passageways
• Repair & Refurbishment: Apartment renovations, partial plaster repairs, and full‑room makeovers
• Serial Projects: Fast, consistent finishing across housing stock, developments, and apartment blocks

Internal vs External Rule — Key Differences

• Internal Rule (1703): Lightweight optimised profile; excellent results indoors, easy to handle, cost‑effective. Not designed for prolonged outdoor exposure.
• External Rule (1707): 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 suspended from one end for extended 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 2.5 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 1707 for exterior facades.

Is the 2.5 m length jointed or solid?
Solid one‑piece extrusion with no joins; easy to transport and store, fitting comfortably inside standard vehicles.

Can one person use it?
Yes — its balanced weight makes single‑hand operation straightforward; fitting dual grips allows two‑person working for even greater efficiency.

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.
