Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. Is this 50.8mm wide bar suitable for structural support?

   • Absolutely not. The 1.58 mm thickness is too thin for any load-bearing application. Due to its great width, it requires continuous adhesive and regular fixings to prevent rippling or lifting.

2. What is the best way to secure this wide profile without visible screws?

   • A continuous, high-coverage application of a high-bond construction adhesive is essential. For flooring, weigh it down evenly or clamp it until the adhesive is fully cured to ensure a flat, bubble-free finish.

3. Can I use this profile outdoors without any additional coating?

   • Yes. The aluminium material (Alloy 6063-T6) is naturally highly corrosion-resistant and can be used outdoors. However, in coastal areas, a periodic wash and wax is recommended to maintain the finish.
