Troubleshooting
Joint does not fit snugly
Ensure both the fascia boards and the internal channels of the joint are clean and free from debris. Check that the fascia boards are the correct size (40mm x 40mm) and profile. Slight adjustments may be needed if the boards are not cut precisely square.
Joint appears loose after fixing
If using adhesive, ensure adequate application on all contact surfaces and allow proper curing time. If using pins, ensure they are driven securely into both the joint and the fascia board. Consider using a stronger UPVC-specific adhesive if necessary.
White color does not match existing fascia
While designed to match standard white UPVC, slight color variations can occur between batches or manufacturers. For critical visual matches, it's advisable to check the product in person before purchase or test a sample if possible.
Difficulty sliding boards into the joint
Gently work the board into the channel. Ensure there are no obstructions. A small amount of silicone spray lubricant can be used sparingly on the inside of the channel and the edge of the board if it's a tight fit, but avoid excessive lubrication which could compromise adhesive bonding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These corner joints are designed for immediate use. No prior preparation is typically required. Ensure the UPVC fascia boards you are joining are clean, dry, and cut to the appropriate length.
- Slide one end of a UPVC fascia board into one channel of the corner joint.
- Slide the end of the adjacent UPVC fascia board into the other channel of the corner joint.
- Adjust the boards so they meet snugly within the joint and form the desired angle (e.g., 90 degrees).
- Secure the joint by applying a suitable UPVC adhesive along the internal contact surfaces or by using polytop pins driven through the joint into the fascia boards.
Compatibility:
- Primarily designed for plastic UPVC fascia boards.
- The 40mm x 40mm dimensions are suitable for standard UPVC fascia profiles. Always check your fascia board dimensions before purchase.
- Not recommended for use with timber, metal, or other non-UPVC materials.
Care:
- The joints are made from durable plastic and require minimal care.
- To clean, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
- Ensure fixings (adhesive or pins) remain secure over time. Re-secure if any loosening is noticed.
