Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. Is this angle suitable for supporting heavy weight?

   • No. Due to the small leg size and thin 1.58mm thickness, this angle is designed for trim and protection, not for structural load-bearing. For load-bearing frames, a thicker (e.g., 3.17mm) and larger angle is required.

2. How do I attach this angle to a wall?

   • This angle can be attached using small screws, panel pins, or, most commonly for a neat finish, by bonding it with a strong construction adhesive (such as a polyurethane or MS polymer sealant).

3. Can I paint the aluminium?

   • Yes. For the best result, the aluminium should be cleaned, lightly sanded, and primed with an etch primer before applying a topcoat of paint.
