FAQs
Do I need special tools to install this joint?
Basic tools for cutting skirting boards (like a saw) and potentially a PVC-u adhesive or fixings are typically needed. Mitre saws are not required for the joint itself, simplifying the process.
Can I paint this grey joint to match my walls?
While the material is designed to be low-maintenance, painting is generally not recommended as it can affect the finish and durability. The product is designed to be used as is.
How durable is the 'scratch-resistant' claim?
The PVC-u material offers good resistance to everyday scratches and scuffs commonly found in household environments. However, it is not impervious to damage from sharp or heavy objects.
What is the purpose of the integrated rubber gasket?
The rubber gasket helps to create a tighter seal between the skirting board and the joint, offering improved dust and moisture resistance and contributing to a cleaner finish.
Can this joint be used for internal corners?
No, this specific product is designed only for external 90-degree corners. Roomline offers different solutions for internal corners.
How does the cable tidy feature work?
There is a channel integrated into the joint designed to hold and conceal cables running along the skirting board, keeping them neat and out of sight.
Is this product suitable for wet areas like bathrooms?
The PVC-u material and the gasket offer good resistance to moisture, making it more suitable for areas like bathrooms than traditional wood. However, it is not a waterproof solution.
Troubleshooting
Joint does not fit snugly
Ensure the ends of the skirting boards are cut cleanly and square. Verify that you are using compatible Roomline PVC-u skirting boards and that they are fully inserted into the joint channels.
Visible gap after installation
Check if the integrated rubber gasket is correctly seated. If a small gap persists, consider using a suitable PVC-u adhesive to secure the boards to the joint.
Difficulty feeding cables through
Ensure cables are not excessively thick. The cable tidy is designed for standard electrical cables. Try feeding them through before fully seating the skirting boards into the joint.
Joint appears scratched
While scratch-resistant, deep gouges can occur. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, ensure no abrasive materials were used during cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This joint is designed to connect two pieces of Roomline PVC-u skirting board to form an external 90-degree corner. Ensure the ends of the skirting boards are cut cleanly and square where they meet the joint. Slide the skirting board ends into the designated channels on the joint, allowing the integrated rubber gasket to create a seal. For a secure fit, it can be further fixed using appropriate PVC-u adhesive or mechanical fixings, depending on the specific installation requirements and the rest of the Roomline system. The cable tidy channel can be accessed and utilized by feeding cables through before or during the joint's installation.
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for use with Roomline PVC-u skirting board profiles. It is not intended for use with traditional wooden skirting boards or skirting boards made from other plastic materials. Always ensure you are using compatible Roomline skirting boards for a seamless fit and optimal performance.
Care: The Roomline joint requires minimal care due to its material properties. To clean, simply wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the surface finish. No sanding or painting is ever required.
