FAQs
What tools do I need for installation?
You'll need a measuring tape, saw (for cutting the trim), adhesive, clamps or tape, and a clean cloth.
Can I use this trim on a worktop with a different thickness?
The trim is designed for 28mm thick worktops. Using it on a different thickness might result in a poor fit and reduced protection.
How do I clean the aluminium end trim?
Wipe it down with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.
What kind of adhesive should I use?
Use a construction adhesive suitable for bonding metal to wood or chipboard. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Is the trim difficult to install?
Installation is generally straightforward, but it requires accurate measurements and cutting. If you're not comfortable with DIY tasks, consider professional installation.
Will the trim match my existing kitchen design?
The silver metallic finish is designed to complement most kitchen styles. However, consider the overall aesthetic of your kitchen to ensure a cohesive look.
Can I paint the aluminium end trim?
It is not recommended to paint the trim as it may affect its appearance and durability. The existing finish is designed for longevity and ease of maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Trim doesn't fit properly.
Double-check measurements and ensure the trim is compatible with your worktop's dimensions and edge profile. Re-cut if necessary.
Adhesive not holding.
Ensure the worktop surface is clean and dry before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality adhesive suitable for the materials. Clamp the trim in place until the adhesive sets.
Scratches on the trim.
Use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove scratches. Consider using a metal polish designed for aluminium.
