FAQs
| For best results use a junior hacksaw (32Tpi) and mitre block. The cut is very important so the accessory fits neatly upto the length. |
 |
| Alternatively installers can use a Cutting tool or Ratchet Cutter – which can give a clean finish. From experience best results are achieved when curved edge at top nearest the blade |  |
| Remember to leave a space (between D-Line lengths) equal to the face of the accessory. Use the accessory as the template. The accessory will retro-fit into the space. |  |
| Make sure inside corners are touching, then corner bends fit straight over. Make sure outside corners are touching, then fit corner bends. |

The tape gives a strong bond, but - like most tapes - can lose effectiveness eventually. This can occur as elements of the adhesive dry out in room temperatures. Most walls are not perfectly smooth so the bond with the surface is not always evenly applied. If running across ceiling or using a profile with base 1½" + then because of the greater strain on the tape, we always advise installers use a secondary fixing (rawlplug & screw) also , spaced every 2½ft. |

Product selection should consider the volume of cables being concealed.
Always leave at least 45% of internal capacity for air circulation, to minimise risk of cables overheating.

| Yes, D-Line can be painted with gloss or emulsions. We recommend first using a fine sandpaper to gently scuff the surface and make it easy for paints to bond. |

| Yes, an installation can be reversed, but the lid is not a cable retainer assist in this manner. |  |
Hope the diagram below helps…
It can be opened and closed thousands of times.
| These are rigid extrusions, but the Micro will bend on a gentle radius and the Mini also but not much! (The ¼ round will not bend) |  |
D-Line lengths utilise 'green' PVC in the sense there is no lead in the manufacturing process. Traditional PVC production has used lead as a stabilising agent in the ingredient mix. (Instead We utilise calcium zinc).
D-Line utilise only virgin plastics to achieve greatest control over production quality.

| With a little care and attention to measuring and cutting this shouldn't arise. However any gaps should be filled using decorators caulk or similar. |

D-Line lengths can be recycled. Our lengths combine use two plastics, namely PVC for base & lid and TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) for hinge material and so cannot be reconstituted as a purely PVC product. It can however be micronised and used for example in flooring matting.
D-Line accessories are ABS and can be recycled and the material used over and over again in the same form.
