Description
The “Outer Corner Chrome Trim” (also known as an External Corner Trim) is a dedicated profile used to finish and protect exposed corners in a PVC wall panel installation.
Here is a detailed description based on the specified dimensions:
Description:
This trim is shaped like an angle bead or a “cap” and is specifically designed to be fitted over the exposed 900 edge where two 10mm PVC wall panels meet an outer corner (e.g., around a window reveal, a boxed-in pipe, or the edge of a half-wall). It neatly covers the rough cut edges, protects the corner from impact, and provides a highly decorative, metallic finish.
Key Features and Specifications:
| Feature | Specification / Detail |
| Purpose | To cover and protect the exposed, sharp edge where two PVC panels join at an external corner, providing a professional and durable finish. |
| Material | High-quality PVC, often with a durable chrome foil overlay or made from Chrome-finished ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) for a premium, metallic look. |
| Colour/Finish | Chrome / Silver Effect. A bright, highly reflective finish that gives the installation a modern, polished aesthetic, often complementing taps and other bathroom accessories. |
| Length | 2400mm (2.4 meters), a standard vertical length for wall panels. |
| Thickness/Compatibility | Designed specifically to fit 10mm thick PVC wall panels, ensuring a tight, secure, and professional-looking fit. |
| Installation | It is typically fitted after the panels are installed on either side of the corner. The trim is generally secured using a strong adhesive and slots over the exposed panel edges. |
| Protection | Provides critical physical protection to the vulnerable outer corner of the panels, which are prone to damage from knocks and bumps. |
| Waterproofing | Forms a crucial part of the watertight system, effectively sealing the exposed joint. Silicone sealant is typically recommended inside the trim before fitting for optimal performance in wet areas. |
| Suitability | Essential for bathrooms, showers, wet rooms, and kitchens where exposed corners require a hygienic, low-maintenance, and stylish finish. |
