Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam Hollow Angle (100mm x 80mm) is a heavy-duty trim designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require a durable finishing solution for corner joints. Known in the trade as the 'Best Angle,' its primary benefit is a high-strength honeycomb wall construction that resists impact while remaining lightweight. While it provides a superior finish, users should note that the 5-meter length requires careful planning for transportation and maneuvering in smaller work environments.

FAQs

Can this be used outdoors?

Yes, Freefoam products are designed to be weather-resistant and are suitable for external applications.

What is the best way to cut the hollow angle?

A fine-toothed hand saw or a power miter saw with a plastic-cutting blade will provide the cleanest results.

Does the honeycomb structure affect painting?

The trim is designed to be maintenance-free and generally does not require painting. If painting is necessary, ensure you use a primer suitable for PVC.

How do I join two 5-meter lengths?

You can butt-joint the pieces together, ensuring the edges are cut square, or use a color-matched joint cover if available.

Can I use screws to fix the angle?

Yes, you can use countersunk screws, but ensure you drill pilot holes to prevent the PVC from splitting.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not sticking properly

Ensure the surface is completely free of grease and moisture; wipe with a solvent cleaner before re-applying adhesive.

Cracking during cutting

Use a finer tooth blade and ensure the trim is fully supported underneath while cutting to prevent vibration.

Trim bowing on wall

Check that the corner being covered is plumb; if the wall is uneven, consider using additional mechanical fixings along with the adhesive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Freefoam Hollow Angle is straightforward for those with basic carpentry tools.

Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils to allow for proper adhesive bonding.
Adhesion: Use high-quality silicon sealant, grab adhesive, or trade-grade superglue. Apply the adhesive to the inner faces of the angle in a continuous bead.
Placement: Press firmly against the corner and hold until the adhesive reaches initial set.
Cutting: Use a hacksaw or power miter saw with a fine blade for precision.
Maintenance: Clean periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to maintain the aesthetic appearance. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads that may dull the finish.
