FAQs

What tools do I need to install the trim?

You will need a measuring tape, a saw or utility knife, adhesive, and potentially a mitre box or guide for cutting. You may also need a caulking gun for applying sealant.

Can I paint the uPVC trim?

The trim is designed with a gloss white finish and does not require painting. Painting is not recommended as it may not adhere well to the uPVC surface.

How do I cut the trim to the correct size?

Use a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife. Measure the area carefully and cut slightly longer, then trim to fit if necessary. A mitre box will help you make straight cuts.

What type of adhesive should I use?

Use a grab adhesive or silicone sealant suitable for uPVC and the surfaces you are attaching the trim to. Ensure the adhesive is appropriate for the environment (e.g., waterproof for bathrooms).

Is this trim suitable for use in a shower?

Yes, uPVC is waterproof and suitable for use in showers and other wet environments, such as around sinks and bathtubs.

What if the trim doesn't fit perfectly?

Small gaps can be filled with caulk or sealant to create a seamless finish. Ensure you measure and cut accurately beforehand.

Can I use this trim outdoors?

While uPVC is weather-resistant, it's primarily designed for interior use. Prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions could affect its appearance.

Troubleshooting

Trim doesn't stick properly.

Ensure the surfaces are clean and use a high-quality adhesive. Consider using additional support, such as tape or clamps, while the adhesive cures.

Cuts are not clean or straight.

Use a fine-toothed saw or utility knife with a sharp blade. Use a mitre box or guide to ensure straight cuts.

Gaps appear after installation.

Ensure accurate measurements before cutting. Use caulk or sealant to fill any small gaps after installation.

Trim discolors or stains easily.

Clean the trim regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.
