FAQs

Can I paint the uPVC capping boards?

While the boards can be painted, it's generally not recommended. The white finish is designed to be low-maintenance and long-lasting.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a measuring tape, a saw (fine-toothed), adhesive or fixings, a drill (if using screws), and sealant.

How do I cut the uPVC boards?

Use a fine-toothed saw. A mitre box will help to ensure accurate cuts, especially for corners.

Can these boards be used outdoors?

Yes, they are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. They are UV-resistant and weather-proof.

How do I clean the uPVC capping boards?

Use a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Are these boards suitable for all window sizes?

These boards are 2 meters in length and 200mm wide. You may need to cut them to fit smaller windows. Consider other product sizes if needed.

What type of adhesive should I use?

Use a high-quality adhesive specifically designed for UPVC materials. Check the product label for compatibility.

Can I install these myself, or do I need a professional?

The installation is suitable for DIY, but a professional is recommended if you are not experienced in this type of work.

Troubleshooting

Board is not fitting correctly.

Double-check your measurements and ensure the cuts are precise. Adjust as needed or trim slightly more.

Adhesive not holding.

Make sure both surfaces are clean and dry. Use a high-quality UPVC adhesive and consider additional fixings.

Visible gaps or uneven edges.

Use sealant to fill gaps and ensure a weatherproof seal. Re-cut or adjust the boards as necessary for a flush finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Preparation: Measure the window reveals accurately. Ensure the existing surface is clean and free from loose debris.
Cutting: Use a fine-toothed saw to cut the capping board to the required size. Measure twice, cut once!
Installation: Apply adhesive or use appropriate fixings (e.g., UPVC-compatible screws or clips) to secure the boards to the window frame. Ensure a tight, weatherproof seal.
Finishing: Use sealant to seal the edges, particularly at the joints and corners, to prevent water ingress.

Compatibility

Tools: Standard tools like a saw, measuring tape, and adhesive or fixings will be needed. A mitre box will help to achieve precise angles.

Maintenance: No painting or significant maintenance is required. Inspect occasionally for any signs of damage or wear.
