Frequently Asked Questions
How do I cut the PVC flat bar strips to the length I need?
The strips can be cut to size using basic hand tools such as a fine-toothed hacksaw, heavy-duty shears or a sharp utility knife, depending on the strip thickness. For the cleanest edge, support the strip firmly while cutting and lightly deburr any cut ends if required.
What is the best way to fix these strips in place?
Fixing is typically achieved using a suitable adhesive, such as a contact or construction adhesive compatible with PVC and the substrate. Apply the adhesive evenly, press the strip firmly into position and allow the recommended curing time. In some applications, additional mechanical fixing (such as small screws or pins) may be used if appropriate.
Can these PVC flat bar strips be used outdoors?
The rigid PVC material is durable and moisture-resistant, so the strips can be used in some sheltered outdoor or semi-exposed locations. However, long-term exposure to strong sunlight and weathering may affect colour and performance, so for fully external or highly exposed environments, check suitability with your installer or consider more specialised exterior-grade profiles.
