Description
The Guardian L Shape Chrome PVC Trim for wall panels, with dimensions of 2400mm (Length) x 10mm (Thickness), is a finishing accessory primarily used to provide a clean, professional, and decorative edge to 10mm thick PVC wall panels.
Here is a detailed breakdown of its function and features:
Function and Shape:
- L-Shape Profile: This trim has a simple 900 angle, making it an edge trim or rigid angle trim.
- Primary Use (Edge Trim): Its most common application is to finish an exposed, cut end of a PVC panel where the panel terminates against a door frame, window reveal, or the corner of a non-panelled wall. It caps the raw edge of the panel, providing a smooth, tidy border.
- Secondary Use (Corner Trim): In some installations, a rigid L-shape is also used to cover either internal or external corners, offering a minimal, square-edged chrome line instead of a moulded corner piece.
