Yes, it is constructed from weather-resistant uPVC and is specifically designed for window frame applications, including exterior use.
The trim comes with a pre-finished Light Oak woodgrain. Painting is generally not recommended as it will cover the texture and likely adhere poorly to the uPVC surface.
A solvent-free grab adhesive or a high-quality neutral-cure silicone sealant works best for most window frame applications.
Yes, the 28mm width represents the front-facing section that covers your gap.
The trim is 5mm thick, providing a low-profile finish that is sturdy but flexible enough for slight wall irregularities.
Ensure the surface is completely dry and dust-free. Use a high-quality grab adhesive and hold the trim in place with masking tape until the bond sets.
Verify that the surface is level. If gaps persist, use a color-matched silicone sealant to fill the tiny space between the wall and the edge of the trim.
Use a fine-toothed hand saw or a dedicated uPVC mitre cutter to ensure a straight edge without splintering the trim.
To install, ensure the window frame surface is free from dust, grease, and debris. Measure the frame length accurately before cutting to avoid wastage. You can use standard grab adhesive for structural bonding or high-quality silicone sealant for gaps where slight movement might occur. For quick tacking, use superglue as a supplemental aid, but apply it sparingly. Maintenance is simple: wipe down the woodgrain finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water if it becomes dirty. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or solvent-based chemicals, as these can strip the woodgrain texture and finish.
