Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install the flat top T barb edging?
The edging is designed to push into a suitably sized slot or groove in the edge of the panel. Cut the edging to length with a sharp knife or fine-tooth saw, then press the T barb firmly into the groove along the run. In most cases the barb provides sufficient grip; if required, a suitable adhesive can be used to enhance retention.
Which size of edging should I choose for my panels?
Select the profile size that best matches the thickness of your panel and the dimensions of the groove or slot you intend to use. The listed sizes (for example 20 x 3 x 12 x 2 mm or 30 x 4 x 12 x 2 mm) indicate key dimensions of the top and barb sections; check these against your panel and groove measurements to ensure a snug, secure fit.
Can the edging be used around curves and corners?
Yes, the flexible plastic construction allows the edging to follow gentle curves and negotiate corners. For tighter bends, it may help to warm the edging slightly and take care when forming it, avoiding sharp kinks to maintain a smooth, continuous appearance.
