Frequently Asked Questions
Solvent cement for solvent weld waste and soil joints — nothing else makes that joint. Grab or panel adhesive for fixing panels and trims to a wall. Low-modulus frame sealant around a window, door or roof lantern. Clear sanitary silicone at a bath, tray or basin edge. uPVC cleaner prepares the surface and removes scuffs.
A grab or panel adhesive, run in vertical beads about 300mm apart on the back of the board, then pressed firmly to a clean, dry wall. On battens you can pin or staple instead. Avoid solvent-based adhesives — they attack PVC. Clear silicone goes in the groove separately for wet areas.
Push fit seals on a ring, so a run can be dismantled and reused and there is no curing time — useful for a repair, or anywhere access stays open. Solvent weld is cemented rigid at every joint, which suits a stack that will be boxed in or a run sealed behind plasterboard, where a creeping seal is a real problem.
Wash it down once or twice a year with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and rinse off. That is the whole job — no sanding, priming or repainting, and nothing to rot at a cut end. Avoid pressure washing close up and keep abrasive pads and solvent cleaners off the surface.
