Beading Around uPVC French Doors

Nov 24, 2006 2 Replies

Hi all



The carpet arrives Monday and SWMBO wants some beading fitting around dining room French doors! This is on top of the important stuff like making good and sealing the floor :(. Guess some of the quadrant stuff with internal "corner" missing should do it. Question is:



This will fit in the corner made by the uPVC door frame and plastered/emulsioned window reveal. How do I stick this in place without getting gunk all over the door frame and wall? What should I be using to stick it in place with? (I think that siliconey-sort-of-stuff won't take painting over).



Any tips for the final fit?



TIA



Phil


I should just use no-more-nails-type-stuff. You don't want to put so much on that it extrudes from behind the beading. Really shouldn't be a problem. And use the water-based stuff so you can wipe it all clean before it sets firm.

Speaking of the siliconey-sort-of-stuff that you can't paint over... ... the previous owner of my flat left a great deal of it round a window in my son's bedroom, anyone know a way of getting a layer of normal emulsion to stick to it?? _________________________________ The Grim Reaper
