Application Instructions

• Preparation: Ensure the tiling surface is clean, dry, and level. Measure and mark the placement of the L Profile trim along tile edges, corners, or transitions.
• Cutting (If Needed): Use a metal saw for the Cast Iron variant or a sharp utility knife/saw for the Plastic variants to trim the 2.44 m length to fit your project, ensuring clean edges.
• Installation: Apply a suitable tile adhesive or silicone along the back of the trim, then press it firmly into place along the tile edge or corner, aligning the L shape to encase the tile. Use a level to confirm straightness and secure with even pressure.
• Finishing: Wipe away excess adhesive with a damp cloth before it sets, and allow it to cure fully (typically 24-48 hours) before grouting or exposing to use.
• Storage: Store any unused trim in a dry place to maintain its condition for future projects.

Care & Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the trim with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly to preserve the finish.
• Drying: Allow the trim to air dry completely after cleaning or exposure to moisture to prevent water spots or potential degradation.
• Storage: Keep unused trims in a cool, dry environment, ideally in their original packaging, to protect against scratches or bending.
• Avoidances: Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or abrasive scrubbers, which could dull the Cast Iron’s anodised finish or scratch the Plastic variants’ surfaces.

FAQs

Q: Are these trims suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, the Cast Iron variant’s likely anodised finish and the Plastic variants’ durable PVC make them resistant to outdoor conditions, though adhesive choice should match the environment.

Q: Can they be used with thicker tiles?
A: Designed for tiles up to 12 mm thick, they fit most standard tiles; for thicker tiles, ensure the L profile fully encases the edge.

Q: Why does the White Plastic variant weigh more?
A: The 80 g weight versus 10 g for Cast Iron and Grey Plastic may reflect denser PVC or additional packaging material, though all provide comparable functionality.
