Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to custom lengths?
Yes, the strip can be easily cut to length using a sharp knife or scissors. For the best results, use a straight edge or cutting guide to achieve clean, accurate cuts.
Is the adhesive backing strong enough for permanent installation?
The optional adhesive backing is designed for a secure, long-lasting bond on clean, dry, smooth surfaces. For heavy-duty or critical applications, it is recommended to ensure thorough surface preparation and, if necessary, use additional mechanical fixings.
Is this silicone strip suitable for outdoor use and exposure to sunlight?
Yes, silicone rubber has excellent resistance to UV, ozone and weathering, making this strip suitable for many outdoor and exposed applications without significant loss of performance over time.
