Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. Is this wide 1.58mm bar stiff enough to be used as a cabinet brace?

   • No. While wide, the 1.58 mm thickness means it will buckle under moderate load. It is strictly for non-structural trim and coverage. For structural bracing, a thicker gauge (3.17 mm) or a tube/angle profile is required.

2. How should I install this large bar to prevent it from rippling or lifting?

   • Due to its width and thinness, it must be secured continuously. Apply a generous, continuous layer of high-bond construction adhesive to the entire underside for a seamless finish.

3. What is the best way to clean this wide aluminium surface?

   • Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive sponges or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface finish and leave dull marks.
