FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a measuring tape, saw (for cutting trim), drill or screwdriver, and possibly a level to ensure a straight installation.

Can I use this trim with thick carpets?

No, this trim is designed for low-pile carpets, carpet tiles, linoleum, and laminate flooring.

How do I cut the trim?

Use a fine-tooth saw or a metal-cutting tool to ensure a clean cut.

What type of screws are provided?

The product includes screws designed for secure installation. Confirm the included screw type before installation.

Can I paint the trim?

The finish is typically designed to match a specific aesthetic, and painting is not recommended. Consider the finish you want before purchasing the trim.

How do I clean the trim?

Use a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the trim made of?

It is made of Aluminum Alloy.

Troubleshooting

Trim doesn't sit flush against the floor.

Ensure the subfloor or flooring is level. Check for any obstructions or debris preventing a flush fit. Adjust the trim or flooring as needed.

Screws don't tighten properly.

Make sure you're using the correct size and type of screw. If the holes are stripped, you might need to use a larger screw or fill the holes with wood filler before re-drilling.

Trim is too short.

Carefully measure and cut a new piece. Overlap the trim pieces, making sure the joint is well aligned.

Finish is scratched.

Use a metal polish to remove minor scratches. For deeper scratches, consider replacing the trim section.
