Wall Panel 82 Trim: a 2 x 1cm section and four board codes

The Wall Panel 82 Trim is a slim profile: listed at 2 x 1 x 240cm per trim, ten lengths to a pack, in four finishes keyed to the Panel 82 boards. One of those two section figures is a single centimetre, and that is the kind of detail that decides whether a trim works on your wall, so it is worth thinking about before it is in the basket.

Where a one-centimetre figure is enough, and where it is not

A section this slim should sit almost flush and draw little attention, which is what you want along a top line or a vertical join between two boards. What it will not do is bridge a gap. If a board has been cut a few millimetres short of a door casing or a window reveal, a 1cm leg has very little to give, and the shadow line will show. Measure your worst gap before you choose: where a wall is old and the reveals are not square, a deeper profile such as the Wall Panel 81 Trim at 2.5 x 2.5cm or the Wall Panel 63 Trim will cover more. The listing does not label which of its two figures is the visible face, so confirm that with the shop if your detail depends on it.

Four finishes, four board codes

• A Oak is listed for Panel 82A
• B Grey is listed for Panel 82B
• E Black is listed for Panel 82E
• T Walnut is listed for Panel 82T

The finish is a match to a board, not a free choice, so take the letter from your panel packaging rather than from a screen. Note too that the written description mentions an oak finish, while the finish list offers four letters; the list on the product page is the one to go by.

There is no photograph on this listing

Said plainly, because it affects how you buy: this product currently has no image on its page, and no material is stated in its name or description either. Its neighbours in the range say PVC or aluminium outright and this one says neither. If the look of the profile or what it is made from matters to your job, ask the shop for a photograph and a material before ordering, rather than assuming it matches a trim you have seen elsewhere in the range.

Packs, cuts and fixings

Ten lengths of 240cm is 24 metres per pack. Total the runs you are covering in metres, divide by 24, round up, and allow one length for mistakes. For putting the boards up in the first place, the bracket for PVC wall panels 05, 07, 11, 81 and 82 names Panel 82 among its codes. Everything else that finishes one of these walls sits in the trims and fittings range.
