Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct size of T barb section for my panel?
Match the barb dimensions to the width and depth of the groove or slot in your panel. The figures given (for example 20 x 3 x 12 x 2mm) relate to the overall profile and barb size; check that the barb thickness and depth correspond closely to your routed groove so that the section will push in firmly without being too loose or overly tight.
Can these PVC T barb profiles be bent around curves?
Yes, the flexible PVC construction allows the sections to follow gentle curves and radii commonly found on counters and panels. Very tight bends are not recommended, as this may cause deformation or stress; for best results, form the curve gradually and avoid sharp corners.
How are the T barb edging trims cut and installed?
Measure the required length and cut the profile square using a fine-toothed saw or heavy-duty shears appropriate for plastics. Ensure the groove is clean and accurately sized, then press the barb section into the slot by hand or with a soft-faced tool, working along the edge until the convex top sits evenly against the panel surface.
