FAQs

What tools do I need to install the trim?

You'll need a measuring tape, saw (hand saw or miter saw), pencil, adhesive (optional), caulking gun, and possibly a nail gun or hammer and nails.

Can I use this trim in a bathroom?

Yes, the moisture-resistant properties make it suitable for bathrooms, but ensure you seal all edges and joints properly to prevent water damage.

How do I cut the trim?

Use a saw designed for cutting wood or similar materials. A miter saw is recommended for achieving accurate angles.

Can I paint the trim any color?

Yes, the trim is paintable. Use a paint suitable for interior use and prime the surface first for best results.

What if I make a mistake when cutting?

Always cut slightly longer than needed. You can then trim the excess for a perfect fit. Keep spare pieces available.

What is the best way to clean the trim?

Wipe it down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Does the trim come with any fixings?

The product itself doesn't come with fixings; you'll need to purchase appropriate adhesive, nails, or other fixings separately, based on your installation method.

Troubleshooting

Trim doesn't stay in place.

Ensure you are using the correct adhesive and/or fixings, and that the surfaces are clean and dry before installation.

Gaps appear after installation.

Double-check measurements and ensure cuts are accurate. Caulk any remaining gaps for a professional finish.

Paint doesn't adhere to the surface.

Lightly sand the trim before painting to improve adhesion. Use a primer suitable for the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Apply Adhesive (if necessary): Depending on your fitting system, apply construction adhesive to the back of the trim. Ensure the adhesive is suitable for the materials.
Position and Secure: Carefully position the trim against the wall and baseboard, ensuring it covers the gap. Secure it using the appropriate fitting system or adhesive, and nails (if necessary).
Finishing: Once the adhesive is dry, caulk the top edge of the trim against the wall for a seamless finish. Paint the trim if desired.
