The Rackhams LED Skirting Aluminium Profile is an ideal solution for homeowners and professional installers looking to integrate subtle, high-quality linear lighting into living spaces, hallways, or commercial corridors. It provides a clean, modern aesthetic while serving the practical function of protecting LED strips from dust, moisture, and impact. While its 3-metre length allows for long, seamless runs, users should plan for precise cutting and corner miter work to ensure a truly professional fit.

It serves as a housing for LED strips to provide a clean aesthetic finish, protect the strips from damage, and act as a heat sink to improve LED longevity.
Yes, the 3-metre profile can be easily cut to any desired length using a standard hacksaw or a power miter saw with an aluminium-rated blade.
No, the profile is a housing unit. LED strips must be purchased separately based on your specific lighting requirements.
Yes, the cover is designed to snap into place and can be removed for maintenance or access to the wiring.
The profile is intended for interior use. If installed in damp areas, ensure the LED strips themselves are IP-rated accordingly.
If the LED light appears as individual dots, switch to a strip with a higher LED density (more LEDs per meter) to achieve a smoother, diffused line.
Ensure the wall surface is perfectly flat. If the wall is uneven, use thin shims behind the profile before securing it.
Use a miter box to cut the profile at exactly 45 degrees to ensure the two edges align flush at the corner.
Installation requires mounting the aluminium channel securely to the base of the wall. Ensure the surface is flat to prevent bowing. For best results, use a mounting adhesive or screw-fix directly through the back of the profile into the wall stud. Compatibility is largely dependent on the width of your LED tape; ensure your strips are no wider than the internal dimensions of the channel.
Care instructions are straightforward: simply wipe the polycarbonate cover with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents, as these may cloud or scratch the clear protective cover.
