Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- 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.
- Clean the Groove: Remove any old, perished gasket material, dirt, or debris from the frame's gasket channel using a soft brush or cloth.
- 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.
- 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.
