Full details
This 1-metre white UPVC plastic rigid angle from H-Smart is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and tradespeople looking for a clean, protective covering trim for edges and corners. Its key benefit is providing a durable, UV-stable finish that resists colour fade, ensuring long-lasting aesthetics. A potential caveat is that its 1.5mm thickness might not be suitable for very heavy-duty applications requiring substantial impact resistance. The product offers easy customization and multiple fixing options for versatile installation.

Troubleshooting
Angle does not stick securely.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before applying adhesive, tape, or silicone. Ensure the chosen fixing method is appropriate for the surface and environmental conditions. Allow adequate curing time for adhesives or sealants.
Angle cracks when cutting.
Use a finer-toothed saw or a sharper blade. Make slow, steady cuts. If using a knife, score the surface deeply and then snap carefully. Pre-warming the plastic slightly in a warm (not hot) environment can sometimes reduce brittleness.
Colour appears to be fading over time.
While manufactured with UV stable materials, prolonged direct exposure to intense sunlight can still cause some gradual fading. Ensure the product is appropriate for the level of UV exposure in your specific application. Regular cleaning may help maintain surface appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure the required length for your application.
- Use a fine-tooth saw or utility knife to cut the angle to the precise size.
- Clean the surfaces where the angle will be applied.
- Apply your chosen fixing method: adhesive, silicone sealant, double-sided tape, or poly top pins.

Compatibility:
This rigid angle is designed for use on most standard building materials such as plasterboard, wood, uPVC, and tiles. It is compatible with common adhesives, silicone sealants, and appropriate fixings. Ensure the surface is clean and dry for optimal adhesion.
Care:
Clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which may damage the UPVC material or its finish. The UV-stable nature of the material means it requires minimal ongoing maintenance to retain its appearance.
