Pliable - Retroflex adjusts to surface irregularities caused by a build up of paint on mating surfaces or a sash which is not 'plumb' in the frame.

Self-tightens' - against wind and rain forces to exclude air and water.

Silent - does not vibrate or 'whistle'.

Easy to install - can be fixed with adhesive, staples or nails. Easily cut with scissors.

Unobtrusive - fits into rebate - not seen when door or window is closed.

High impact - will not split if hit by hammer when fixing.

Fitting Details:
Remove all flaky paint and rough edges with a medium or fine sandpaper. Remove grease, dust and grime by wiping with a paper towel and methylated spirits (non industrial). Paper towels are more efficient than cloths in preventing the transfer of dirt from one part of the window to another.

To further enhance adhesion and fixing it is recommended to use an adhesive primer, Scotch Primer 38 or similar are suitable. Extra fixing strength can be achieved by using staples or pins.
