Description
This formable straight edge trim from Quantum measures 2.5m in length and is available in polished stainless steel. Designed to create a neat finish around curved tiled edges, whilst also providing extra protection.
Usage
This formable trim is ideal for creating a professional finish and is recommended for use in areas with a minimum radius of 1 metre. The ideal type will depend on the installation area, with the aluminium trims offering a high level of tolerance. For areas where a high level of protection against wear and tear is required, we recommend the stainless steel formable trims which are ideal for use in exterior installations and industrial areas such as chemical processing plants, hospital environments and food processing areas.
In addition, we also offer a stainless steel marine grade formable straight edge trim, which is designed for installation within swimming pools and industrial applications. The 316 marine grade trim contains nickel, chrome and molybdenum, which provides this trim with an excellent resistance to harsh conditions, such as the presence of high levels of salt and chlorine.
Installation
The trim is designed for simple installation, with anchorage points included to allow the trim to be formed into the desired shape prior to tiling. In addition, as you would expect from a high-quality Quantum formable trim, the various types of trims available are designed to create a uniform finish, however care should be taken to prevent damage of the trim from tile adhesive, mortar or other grouting products, with setting materials removed from the area quickly.
Maintenance
These formable trims do not require any special maintenance, with a soft cloth and water ideal for removing general marks and cosmetic issues. A glass cleaner or mild detergent can also be used to remove stubborn stains and fingerprints. If an oxidation film builds up on the channel, it can be easily removed with common polishing agents. However, if the surface of the channel is damaged a recoating layer can be applied to provide added protection.
