FAQs

How do I know which size gasket to order?

Use the provided sample pack to test different sizes in the groove of your window or door frame. Choose the one that fits snugly without requiring excessive force or feeling loose.

Can this gasket be used for glass seals?

No, this gasket is designed for the frame rebate of uPVC windows and doors, not for sealing the glass unit itself.

How long will this gasket last?

These are premium quality corded gaskets designed for a long lifespan. With proper care and maintenance, they should provide effective sealing for many years.

What is the minimum order quantity?

The gasket is sold per metre. You can change the quantity to order the exact number of metres you require for your project, starting from 1 metre.

Can I paint over this gasket?

It is not recommended to paint over the gasket, as paint may affect its flexibility and sealing properties. The gasket is typically available in black or white to match common frame colours.

What if I need a size not included in the sample pack?

The sample pack contains the most common sizes. If you are certain none of them fit, it may indicate an unusual profile, and you should contact the manufacturer for advice on specialized seals.

How do I store unused gasket material?

Store unused gasket material in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its condition.

Troubleshooting

Gasket is too loose and falls out.

The sample pack provided a size that is too small. Try a different size from the sample pack or consult with the manufacturer for alternative profiles.

Gasket is too tight and difficult to push in.

The sample pack provided a size that is too large. This may cause stress on the frame or be impossible to install. Try a smaller size from the sample pack.

Gasket appears to shrink after installation.

Ensure you have purchased the premium quality corded gasket. While designed to reduce shrinkage, extreme temperature changes can affect any material. Ensure correct installation without stretching.

Difficult to remove old gasket material.

Use a plastic scraper or a blunt tool to gently lever out the old gasket. Avoid using sharp metal tools that could scratch the frame. A mild solvent might help loosen stubborn residue, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify Size: Use the sample pack to carefully compare the different gasket sizes against the groove in your uPVC window or door frame. Ensure a snug fit without excessive force.
  2. Clean the Groove: Remove any old, perished gasket material, dirt, or debris from the frame's gasket channel using a soft brush or cloth.
  3. Install New Gasket: Starting at a corner, carefully push the new gasket into the groove. Work your way around the frame, gently pressing the gasket into place. Avoid stretching the gasket.
  4. Trim Excess: If necessary, use a sharp craft knife to trim any excess gasket material neatly at the end.

Compatibility:

This gasket is designed for standard uPVC window and door profiles. While it is a common type, always test with the sample pack to ensure a correct fit for your specific frame, as variations exist.

Care:

  • Clean the gasket periodically with a damp cloth and mild soapy water to remove dirt and grime.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the material.
  • Check the gasket annually for signs of wear, cracking, or shrinkage and replace as needed.
