Questions & Answers

What does a DYI need to do to ?

It was very easy, just roll it out in a warm place next to a wall and let it settle for a bit, then use a tube adhesive and measure twice 1) Apply adhesive on the back, smooth out the adhesive, and apply to the The large bathroom was done in about two hours, and I would buy this product

Do I have to cut at both corners to round this product's corners, or is this product flexible enough to round the corners?

Angles need to be cut to 90 degrees.

In the headline, the height is stated as 4 inches, but in the specs it is stated as 4 inches. Which one should I buy? I need it to fit a 4-inch disc An opening of 1/4 in height. Thanks so much. ?

For mine, I put it on a 4 One quarter of a circle. There is a curve at the bottom.

How about the use of this around pillars outdoors?

It wouldn't be a good idea for me. A high or low temperature will cause it to shrink or expand. Moisture behind it can lead to a failure of the adhesive. Neither the exterior nor the interior should be installed.

Despite its relative ease of installation, it does take time and effort to install
5/5

I received it in a timely manner. A good product that does what it says on the tin. It does take some time and effort to properly lay the matting even though it can be installed relatively easily. It gives a clean, polished look to my living spaces in the house, and I like the way it looks in there. With a damp cloth or just a swipe of the mop, the surface is easy to clean. What a great result! I'm so glad I did this!.

The molding of the coves was poor
3/5

This product recently came onto my system and I am not able to As a result of this, my molding was warped and distorted, and the vinyl used for this product is stiff and not flexible The conformity. Due to this, the molding I received did not lay flat against the wall nor did it form a radius shape against the floor as it should. In spite of following the original instructions and letting the vinyl molding sit at room temperature (68 degrees) for 48 hours, it still remained warped (or stretched) in some places and would not lay Heat from a heat gun could be used to pliable the vinyl, which could then be rolled flat against the wall, but as it cooled, it began to curl back up into its original In addition, it is important to note that the feet on the molding, which are to lay flat against the floor and form a transition to the wall, were flattened when rolling the molding on to the shipping tube and it made no difference in making a transition Molding feet are virtually flat (in line with the bodies of the moldings) and when forced down onto the ground to curve into a radius, they slowly creep up the wall to the original shape, when the radius recedes and the moldings return back to their I can see a piece of almost flat vinyl glued to the wall base, forming the impression of the mold being installed like a wavy piece of vinyl. The rubber cove molding I installed previously has always been of very high quality and the results were excellent. The project I was working on involved installing cheap vinyl molding inside a closet since it was not to be particularly obvious, so I thought buying cheap vinyl molding would help save money. I was in fact mistaken. Either I can live with this warped, cheap vinyl molding, or I must remove it and re-install quality rubber molding - a real cost-saving move, wouldn't you agree? Enjoy – and remember not to repeat my mistake. You should buy good quality products the first time. It is for this reason that 1/8 inch thick rubber cove molding is more expensive than thin vinyl molding - it is by far a.

I love this addition to the garage
5/5

It looks even better than before! I could not be happier with the contrast, which gave it the perfect level of contrast. My experience with it was that it was extremely simple It still holds well after I put adhesive on the back, scored the corners with a razor, and put adhesive on the front.

I used this brand for the first time and am very pleased with the results
5/5

Good physical condition when they arrived. I used this brand for the first time and am very pleased with the results. The equipment arrived in good shape, was rolled out, installed, and there were no phone calls to follow up. Finding a dry base for my back was a great find. Reviewers who complain that the self stick base does not work cite the fact that the product needs to be installed over "fresh paint. " A self-stick adhesive or an adhesive applied to a surface coated with paint is not going to stick to that surface. Due to this reason, we left 4 inches of raw drywall and we used Power grip adhesive instead of standard vinyl base adhesive. I grabbed and held it and there were no callbacks. It looks great, is easy to clean, is easy to cut, and it is easy to In future projects at which vinyl bases are required, I will definitely buy this product again.

No way to attach to the wall
3/5

No matter how hard I tried to adhere this, it would not stick smoothly to the wall. A variety of methods were tried in the application of the adhesive. It does not matter how liberally or conservatively I apply it after setting for a few hours so, I do not know why it does not A foot was also missing from the item, as shown in the photo. Despite its flat appearance, it was The bird rested out of the box for a few days and I even took it into a room that was warmer, Although I tried bending it and molding it, but still it did not have a foot. The only way I could get it to be there was to score the back of the molding with a knife, but it didn't matter because the stupid thing wouldn't stay on the wall.

A very cheap product that does not cover the seams
3/5

A product of this type doesn't do what most people want it to do, although it is incredibly inexpensive. The product was used after I had laid some vinyl flooring in the basement. I had expected it would bring the wall and floor together and cover 1/8" wide seams where the floor met the wall. I don't think it does. It has a recessed bottom unlike anything you can find at Home Depot, so the bottom does not protrude too much. With a small indentation at the bottom, it is almost flat but able to bend where the floor meets it. No matter how low the price, it's not worth it.

Product is the same, but colors are different
3/5

In the picture, you can see the more cream colored item that we ordered in white (as shown It ended up being good for us and we liked it so we In the end, we ordered another box because we realized we would need more to complete the project. The second box was in the second color shown, which is more white than the first and not the same. two boxes that we received both were white. I then reordered an almond color from the same seller and brand on Amazon to rule out a mistake on the label. However, the almond matched with the white box, so it appears that this was a manufacturer's In spite of differences in quality assurance and colors, this turns a product that could have easily been rated 5 stars down to a mere.

Despite not being white, this would still make a great gift
4/5

The fabric is nice and flexible, but it is not *white* but rather cream in color. In spite of the color, I'm quite pleased with it, other than the fact that it was so easy to work with.
