Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to the exact length I need?
Yes, the strip can be cut to length on-site using a sharp knife or suitable cutting tool. For best results, use a straight edge and apply firm, even pressure to achieve a clean cut.
Is the self-adhesive backing strong enough for permanent installation?
The self-adhesive backing is designed to provide a strong, reliable bond to clean, dry and smooth surfaces. For permanent installations, ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application, and apply firm pressure along the full length of the strip.
Is this silicone strip suitable for outdoor use and exposure to sunlight?
Yes, silicone rubber offers good resistance to weathering, ozone and UV, making this strip suitable for outdoor use and prolonged exposure to sunlight, provided it is installed correctly and used within its recommended temperature range.
