Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to length myself?
Yes, the strip can be cut to length on site using a sharp knife or suitable cutting tool. For the best results, use a straight edge and ensure the cut is clean and square to maintain an effective seal.
Is the adhesive-backed option suitable for permanent fixing?
The self-adhesive backing provides a strong initial bond for positioning and general use, but its long-term performance will depend on the surface preparation, cleanliness and operating conditions. For highly demanding or structural applications, additional mechanical fixing may be advisable.
Is this silicone strip suitable for outdoor use?
Silicone rubber offers very good resistance to UV, ozone and weathering, making this strip suitable for many outdoor applications. Always check that the temperature range and exposure conditions of your specific installation fall within the stated performance limits.
