FAQs
Can this be used in a bathroom?
Yes, the PVC material is water-resistant, but ensure the wall is perfectly clean and dry before applying. Use extra adhesive if the area is frequently exposed to direct water.
Do I need to buy extra glue?
The trim is self-adhesive, but the manufacturer recommends supplementary adhesive if you are installing on plasterboard or in environments with extreme temperatures or humidity.
How do I cut the trim to length?
Heavy-duty household scissors or a sharp utility knife work well for cutting the PVC material.
Can I paint this trim?
The trim is designed with a finished surface; painting it is not recommended as standard paints may not adhere well to the flexible PVC.
Is the trim flexible enough for 90-degree corners?
Yes, the flexible nature of the PVC allows it to wrap around corners, though you may need to apply pressure for a few minutes to ensure it retains the corner shape.
Troubleshooting
Trim peeling away from the wall
Ensure the wall was degreased properly. If the surface is porous like plasterboard, apply a professional-grade contact adhesive to the back of the trim.
Ends curling up
Use a small amount of clear silicone sealant at the corner joints to hold the ends down until the adhesive fully cures.
Adhesive not sticking to cold surface
Warm the surface and the adhesive strip with a hairdryer before application to activate the bonding agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first measure your area and cut the trim to size using heavy-duty scissors. Clean the floor and wall surface thoroughly; any dust, grease, or debris will prevent the adhesive from bonding. Once the surface is dry, peel back the protective liner in small increments while pressing firmly into place. For the best bond, avoid pulling the trim tight around corners. If applying to cold surfaces, using a hairdryer to gently warm the adhesive can improve initial tack. To clean after installation, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical solvents which may damage the PVC finish.
