Troubleshooting
Collar does not fit snugly against the floor.
Ensure the pipe diameter is exactly 16mm and the gap around the pipe is not excessively large. If the gap is too big, a larger collar or filler might be needed.
The beech effect does not match my flooring perfectly.
While designed to be versatile, wood effects can vary. Consider if a close match is sufficient or if alternative finishes might be more suitable for your specific flooring.
Difficulty in sliding the collar around the pipe.
Ensure the two halves of the collar are properly separated and that there are no obstructions on the pipe. Gently ease the halves around the pipe.
