FAQs
Can the white PVC trim be painted?
Yes, the PVC surface can be painted. It is recommended to use a primer specifically designed for plastics before applying your chosen paint for best adhesion and finish.
What is the best adhesive to use for this trim?
A high-strength, solvent-based PVC adhesive is generally recommended. Always check the product label to ensure it is suitable for rigid PVC and the intended application.
How do I measure for the correct size?
Measure the gap you need to cover. The trim should be wide enough to overlap the edges of the opening and the adjoining surface adequately for a clean finish. Available sizes range from 20mm to 100mm.
Is this trim suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the PVC material is designed for both internal and external applications and is resistant to weathering.
How many trims do I need for a standard door frame?
A standard single door frame typically requires two lengths for the sides and one for the top. Calculate the total length needed based on your frame dimensions, accounting for any mitre cuts.
What are the dimensions of the trim?
The trim is 6 meters (236.22 inches) long and is available in various widths, including 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, and 100mm.
Troubleshooting
Trim will not lay flat
Ensure the trim has been left to flatten for a sufficient period in a warm environment. You may need to apply gentle heat (e.g., from a hairdryer on a low setting, held at a distance) to help it conform to the surface.
Adhesive not bonding properly
Ensure both surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a PVC-specific adhesive and follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and curing time.
Cut edges are rough
Use a fine-toothed saw or a specialized PVC cutting tool. Ensure the blade is sharp and cut with a steady, even pressure. Lightly sand the edge with fine-grit sandpaper if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Flattening: Upon receiving the rolled PVC trim, carefully unroll it and lay it flat in a warm environment for several hours or overnight. Alternatively, use weights to hold it flat on a level surface.
- Cutting: Measure the required length and cut the trim using a fine-toothed saw or a PVC cutter for a clean, straight edge.
- Installation: Adhere the trim using appropriate PVC adhesive or fix it with nails or screws, ensuring they are suitable for PVC and the substrate.
Compatibility:
This trim is compatible with most standard building materials including plasterboard, wood, brick, and existing UPVC or aluminum frames. It is designed to complement a variety of window and door systems.
Care:
Clean the PVC trim with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the surface. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive plastic cleaner can be used.
