  • Can Flexiteek 2G be used vertically?

    Flexiteek 2G hugs the surface, so it can be used on most angles and contours, both vertically and horizontally.

  • Will Flexiteek 2G crush or deform under pressure?

    Flexiteek 2G will compress if a fastener is bolted across it. We recommend that anything bolted should be placed on a solid lining such as Tufnol, UPVC, aluminum, etc.

  • What if I need a thicker product?

    If required, Flexiteek 2G can be supplied on marine plywood, GRP, laminated board or a layer of foam of suitable thickness to allow a perfect fit to an indentation or edge.

  • Which adhesive is used for gluing?

    We have tested many adhesives and recommend the use of MS polymer 2G or PU2K adhesives, depending on your installation method.

  • Can it stick to any surface?

    Flexiteek 2G adhesives adhere successfully to most surfaces, provided the substrate is painted. It is often possible to use a two-component epoxy to create a suitable substrate for the application of our adhesives.

  • What is a perimeter border?

    A border is the frame around the panels; it’s a section that’s normally a little wider than the battens used to define it.
