FAQs

What tools do I need to install the capping board?

You'll need a measuring tape, saw (fine-tooth recommended), adhesive or sealant, a cloth for cleaning, and safety glasses.

Can I cut the board to fit my window sills?

Yes, the board can be easily cut to size using a fine-tooth saw. Ensure accurate measurements before cutting.

How do I clean the uPVC capping board?

Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to clean the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrub pads.

Is the capping board suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the uPVC material is weather-resistant and designed for both indoor and outdoor applications.

What type of adhesive should I use?

Use a high-quality adhesive or sealant that is specifically designed for use with uPVC materials.

What is the lifespan of the capping board?

With proper installation and care, the capping board can last for many years due to its durable and UV-resistant properties.

Can I paint the uPVC capping board?

Painting uPVC is possible, but it may require special preparation and paint designed for plastic surfaces. It's generally not recommended as the white finish is already designed to be aesthetically pleasing and low-maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Capping board does not fit correctly.

Double-check measurements and ensure accurate cutting. You may need to trim the board further or adjust the installation angle.

Adhesive is not holding the board securely.

Ensure the surface of both the sill and the board are clean and dry before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality adhesive suitable for uPVC.

Board discolours or fades over time.

This is unlikely due to the UV-resistant properties of the material. If it occurs, check for any exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme weather conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Preparation: Clean the existing window sill thoroughly to remove any dirt, debris, or loose paint.
Measurement: Measure the length and width of the sill accurately to ensure the capping board fits correctly. Always double-check your measurements.
Cutting: Use appropriate tools such as a fine-tooth saw to cut the uPVC board to the required size. Ensure a clean cut for a neat finish.
Installation: Apply a suitable adhesive or sealant to the back of the capping board. Position it carefully over the existing sill and press firmly to ensure a secure bond.

Compatibility

The Eurocell uPVC Capping Board is compatible with most standard window sills. It is designed to be a cover for existing sills and is not a structural component. The product is also compatible with common adhesives and sealants.

Care

Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the capping board with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove any dirt or grime.
Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrub pads, which could scratch the surface.
Inspect Regularly: Check for any signs of damage or wear, and address them promptly.
