Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the correct PVC capping size for my boards?
Match the internal dimensions of the capping profile to the thickness and edge shape of your board or panel. For example, thicker boards will typically require profiles such as 6 x 25 x 10 x 1.5 mm or 6 x 42 x 15 x 1.5 mm, while thinner boards can use smaller options like 2 x 20 x 5 x 1.5 mm. Check the detailed profile measurements against your board dimensions before ordering.
Can this PVC capping be cut and installed using standard tools?
Yes, the extruded PVC material is easy to cut to length using basic hand tools such as a fine-tooth saw or heavy-duty shears, depending on the profile size. Installation is typically carried out by sliding or positioning the capping over the board edge and securing it with a suitable adhesive or mechanical fixings as required by the application.
Is this PVC capping suitable for use in damp or humid environments?
The PVC material is moisture-resistant and suitable for use in indoor areas where occasional humidity or splashes are present, such as kitchens, changing areas or utility rooms, provided it is correctly installed onto appropriate substrates. For continuously wet, external or highly demanding environments, check the specific project requirements and ensure the full wall or cladding system is designed for that level of exposure.
