FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this flat bar trim?

The primary purpose is to provide a modern, flat finish to internal and external wall surfaces, acting as a protective guard against knocks and scuffs.

Can this trim be used outdoors?

Yes, it is manufactured from UV-stable and moisture-resistant uPVC, making it suitable for both internal and external applications.

How do I clean the trim?

You can easily clean the trim by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents.

What are the dimensions of this specific trim?

This particular trim is 25mm wide and 1 metre long.

Can I paint over this trim?

While the uPVC is designed to be durable and maintain its white finish, painting is generally not recommended as it may affect the UV stability and finish.

What adhesive should I use to fix the trim?

A strong grab adhesive suitable for uPVC and your specific wall surface is recommended. Screws can also be used for additional security.

Is this trim flexible?

Yes, the trim is described as lightweight and flexible, allowing it to be trimmed to length and installed for a neat, flush result.

Troubleshooting

Trim does not adhere well to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality grab adhesive suitable for uPVC and the wall surface. Consider using screws for added security in high-stress areas.

Trim is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife. Score the trim multiple times with the utility knife for a cleaner cut on thinner sections. Ensure the trim is securely held while cutting.

Trim appears slightly warped.

Allow the trim to acclimatize to room temperature for at least 24 hours before cutting and installation. Ensure it is installed on a flat surface and adequately secured with adhesive or screws along its length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Measure and Cut: Measure the required length and use a fine-toothed saw or utility knife to cut the trim to size. Ensure cuts are straight for a clean finish.
Prepare Surface: Clean the wall surface where the trim will be applied to ensure good adhesion.
Install: Apply a suitable grab adhesive to the back of the trim or pre-drill pilot holes and secure with screws. For best results, ensure the trim is flush with the wall surface.

Compatibility:

This trim is designed for use on internal and external wall surfaces, including plaster, painted walls, and wallpapered areas. It is also suitable for finishing around window reveals, door frames, and furniture edges. It is manufactured from UV-stable materials, reducing colour fade.

Care:

To maintain the appearance of the trim, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch or damage the finish.
