FAQs
What is this product used for?
This white PVC end cap is used to provide a clean, professional, and finished edge to bathroom wall panels, covering raw edges for a seamless look.
Is this product suitable for wet areas?
Yes, the PVC material is waterproof and rot-proof, making it ideal for use in bathrooms, including shower areas and around bathtubs.
How do I cut the trim to size?
You can cut the trim using a fine-tooth saw suitable for plastics or a specialized PVC cutter. Measure carefully and cut with steady pressure for a clean edge.
What type of adhesive should I use?
A strong grab adhesive or a silicone sealant specifically designed for bathroom applications and PVC is recommended. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
How do I clean the trim?

Can I paint this trim?

What are the dimensions of the trim?
Specific dimensions would be available on the product packaging or B&Q website. This guide focuses on general usage and features.
Troubleshooting
Trim does not fit snugly against the panel.
Ensure the panel edge is perfectly straight and clean. Re-measure and re-cut the trim if necessary. Use a consistent bead of adhesive for a secure bond.
Adhesive is not holding the trim in place.
Check that both the trim and panel surface are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Ensure you are using an appropriate adhesive for PVC and the wall surface. Allow adequate drying time as per adhesive instructions.
Trim cracked during cutting.
Use a fine-tooth saw specifically designed for plastic or a specialized PVC cutter. Apply steady, even pressure and avoid forcing the cut. Ensure the trim is well-supported during cutting.
