FAQs
What is the primary use of this angle trim?
This angle trim is primarily used as a protective and decorative covering for 90-degree corners on walls, window reveals, and furniture, offering a clean finish and guarding against damage.
How do I fix the trim in place?
You can fix it using grab adhesive, silicone sealant, strong double-sided tape, or poly top pins. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
Can I cut this trim to a specific length?
Yes, the trim is lightweight rigid PVC and can be easily cut to the required size using a fine-tooth saw or PVC cutter.
Is this trim suitable for outdoor use?
While manufactured from UV-stable and moisture-resistant materials, its suitability for direct, prolonged outdoor exposure depends on the specific application and environmental conditions. It is ideal for exterior wall edges but may not be suitable for all weather-exposed elements.
What are the dimensions of this angle trim?
The trim measures 50mm x 50mm, with an angle thickness of 1.5mm, and comes in a standard length of 1 metre (1000mm).
How do I clean the trim?
Simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Will the color fade over time?
The trim is manufactured from UV-stable materials, which helps to reduce color fade caused by sunlight exposure.
Troubleshooting
Trim not sticking securely
Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, free of dust/grease). Use a stronger adhesive appropriate for uPVC and the surface material. Apply firm, consistent pressure during installation.
Difficulty cutting a clean line
Use a fine-toothed saw or a specialized PVC cutter for a cleaner cut. Ensure the trim is securely held while cutting.
Color mismatch with existing décor
This specific trim is Anthracite Grey. For other color matches, please refer to other available products in the Home Smart shop.
Trim appears brittle during cutting
Ensure the trim is at room temperature; cold material can be more brittle. Make slow, controlled cuts to avoid cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure the required length and carefully cut the trim using a fine-tooth saw or a PVC cutter.
- Ensure the surface to which the trim will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
- Apply a suitable adhesive (e.g., grab adhesive, silicone sealant) to the back of the trim or the wall surface, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
- Alternatively, use strong double-sided tape for lighter applications or secure with poly top pins for added stability.
