| In what lengths is TrimFlex supplied ? |
TrimFlex is supplied in 4.2 metre lengths
as standard. Available (special order) in
up to 6 metre lengths. |
Can it be used to cure
an existing gap/crack ? |
Not at present. TrimFlex
has been designed to prevent the problem from
occurring in new build situations. |
| Can TrimFlex be used for staircases with
landings/ kite winders? |
No problem, provided the staircase manufacturer
hasn’t rounded the top of the string
too much, where the different sections of
string meet. If that is the case,
it is worth specifying the top edge of the
string to be kept straight, in future. |
| Can TrimFlex be used with curved strings? |
No. The top of the receiving string needs
to be straight, both on plan and elevation. |
| What if the front of TrimFlex gets damaged? |
The detachable facia which forms the front
face of TrimFlex is replaceable without having
to disturb the main channels. |
| What other finishes are available for the
facia? |
The basic set is supplied in white. Separate
facias will shortly be available in wood-grain
effects: Light and
dark hardwood, and metallic: chrome and Brass
effects. |
| The images show a groove in the top of the
string – what size does it have to be? |
Ideally, 2.5mm x 18mm. this can be cut in
the workshop, by the staircase manufacturer,
or on site. (Most portable circular saws use
a blade about this thickness). The groove
needs to be cut before the staircase is fixed,
however. |
| I’d already cut the groove –
and it’s a little over-size. Can I still
use TrimFlex? |
Run a bead of PVA in the groove prior to
finally inserting TrimFlex in the String.
Secure with a few pins through the string
and ribbed tongue, temporarily. |
Won’t the plasterers damage the front
face of TrimFlex
as they trowel on the finish coat? |
Very unlikely – the front of the facia
is protected by a
peel-off plastic film. (This should be left
on until the
final cleaning stage, to protect whilst decorating). |
