FAQs
What is the main purpose of this angle trim?
The main purpose is to protect wall corners from knocks and scuffs, while also providing a clean, modern, and professional finish to internal and external edges.
Can this trim be used for both internal and external corners?
Yes, this 90° unequal angle trim is designed to be versatile and can be used for both internal and external corner applications.
What materials can I use to fix the trim?
You can fix the trim using a strong grab adhesive suitable for uPVC and your wall type, or by using screws with appropriate wall plugs.
How do I clean the anthracite grey trim?
To clean, simply use a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soapy water solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is the anthracite grey color standard?
The anthracite grey is a specific color finish. It is designed to complement modern décor, particularly matching anthracite grey windows and doors. Compatibility with existing schemes should be verified.
What are the dimensions of the trim?
The trim has an unequal angle profile measuring 70x30 mm and is 1 metre in length.
Does the uPVC material fade or degrade over time?
The uPVC is specified as UV-stable and moisture-resistant, which helps to prevent fading and degradation from sunlight and moisture, ensuring longevity.
Troubleshooting
Trim does not sit flush against the wall.
Ensure the wall corner is perfectly square and the wall surface is flat. Minor unevenness may require additional adhesive or careful filling before installation.
Adhesive is not holding the trim in place.
Ensure both the trim and wall surfaces are clean and dry before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality grab adhesive suitable for uPVC and the wall substrate. Allow adequate drying time as per adhesive instructions.
Trim is difficult to cut cleanly.
Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw designed for plastics. Making multiple shallow passes is often more effective than one forceful cut. A mitre box can help ensure straight cuts.
Color appears different than expected.
Color representation can vary slightly between monitors and lighting conditions. Order a sample if unsure, or check the product in your intended environment before full installation.
