Frequently Asked Questions
Can this silicone rubber strip be used outdoors for long periods?
Yes. Silicone rubber offers excellent resistance to weathering, ozone and UV light, making this strip suitable for long-term outdoor use when correctly installed.
Is the adhesive backing strong enough for permanent fixing?
The self-adhesive backing is designed for reliable, long-lasting positioning on clean, dry, smooth surfaces. For applications involving high mechanical stress or frequent movement, additional mechanical fixing may be advisable.
Can I cut the silicone strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes. The strip can be cut to size using a sharp knife or suitable cutting tool. Take care to measure accurately and use a straight edge for clean, precise cuts.
