FAQs

What is the thickness of the uPVC material?

The angle thickness is 1.5mm.

Can this trim be used outdoors?

Yes, the trim is manufactured from UV stable materials which helps reduce color fade, making it suitable for both internal and external use.

What are the dimensions of this specific flat trim?

This specific variant is 19mm wide and 1 Metre (1000mm) in length.

How do I fix the trim in place?

It can be fixed using adhesive, silicone, double-sided tape, or poly top pins. These fixing materials are typically sold separately.

Is this product flexible enough for curved surfaces?

While the PVC is lightweight and somewhat flexible, it is primarily designed for straight edges and flat surfaces. Significant curves may not be achievable without specialized techniques or heating, which is not recommended.

Does this trim come in different sizes?

Yes, other sizes and colors are available. This specific listing is for a 19mm x 1 Metre white flat trim.

How should I clean the trim?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

Trim not adhering properly

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a suitable strong adhesive and allow adequate curing time. For heavier applications, consider mechanical fixings like pins.

Trim is difficult to cut cleanly

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw or a specialized plastic cutter. Score the surface with a utility knife before cutting for a cleaner edge.

Visible seams where trims are joined

When joining two pieces, ensure the cuts are perfectly square and butt them together tightly. A small amount of colored silicone sealant matching the trim can be used in the joint for a less visible finish.

Surface scratches easily during installation

Handle the trim carefully. If the protective film is present, keep it on as long as possible during installation. Use a soft cloth when cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against wall damage in busy areas.
  • UV-stable material resists color fading, maintaining appearance over time.
  • Easy to cut and install, suitable for DIY projects.
  • Moisture-resistant, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Versatile uses for various finishing and covering tasks.

Cons

  • Adhesives or fixings are required for installation and are sold separately.

  • While described as 'flexible', significant bending may not be possible for curved surfaces.
  • The 1-meter length may require joining for longer applications, potentially showing seams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Determine the required length and use a fine-toothed saw or utility knife for a clean cut. Ensure the surface where the trim will be applied is clean and dry.
  2. Application: Apply a suitable adhesive (e.g., grab adhesive, silicone sealant) to the back of the trim or the surface, or use double-sided tape for a quicker, temporary hold. For a more permanent fix, consider using poly top pins.
  3. Fixing: Press the trim firmly into place, ensuring good contact with the surface. Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately.

Compatibility:

  • This trim is designed for flat surfaces and edges.
  • It can be used in conjunction with most standard paints, wallpapers, and tile finishes.
  • Ensure the substrate is sound and clean for optimal adhesion.

Care:

  • Clean the surface regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
  • The UV-stable material helps prevent fading, but prolonged direct sunlight may still cause some discoloration over many years.
