What is the exact thickness of the boards this trim is compatible with?

Is the silver finish durable?
The silver finish is designed to be sleek and durable for interior use. However, it can be scratched by abrasive materials, so care should be taken during cleaning and handling.
Can this trim be used outdoors?
While the aluminum is corrosion-resistant, the trim is primarily intended for interior applications. Prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor elements may affect its finish.
How do I clean the trim?

Can I use this trim with boards thicker or thinner than 8mm?
No, this trim is specifically engineered for 8mm boards. Using it with different thicknesses will result in an insecure fit or improper alignment.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need tools for cutting metal, such as a fine-toothed hacksaw or metal shears, and potentially a measuring tape and a soft cloth for cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Trim does not fit securely onto the board.
Verify that the board thickness is exactly 8mm. Ensure the trim is aligned correctly and not obstructed by debris on the board edge. Gentle, even pressure should be applied during fitting.
Scratches or marks on the silver finish.
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. For minor scratches, a non-abrasive metal polish designed for aluminum might be used sparingly, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
Difficulty cutting the trim to size.
Use a fine-toothed hacksaw or a specialized metal cutting tool. Ensure the trim is securely clamped during cutting. A lubricant can sometimes aid in achieving a cleaner cut.
