readiescards Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) We have arches over our house windows and over the garage car doors. The house window supplier (Sunfold of Norwich) supplied colour matched 'foils' to hide the softwood arch fill in. We have the same arches for the garage car doors but the potential garage door suppliers do not offer such foils. Suggestions on where to obtain a colour matched alluminum or plastic piece of 3m x 60mm with right angle lip of approx 20mm most welcome please - so I can cut it to match the arch Edited December 28, 2016 by readiescards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichS Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Don't know where you would find any off the shelf but an engineering company should be able to fold you a piece of aluminium and then just get it sprayed the correct RAL colour. PS, What's the RSJ for, a hoist point??? Edited December 29, 2016 by RichS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want a bouncy upstairs floor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Beam is sitting approx 300mm lower than the truss so it's not for support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan52 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Not that long of a span either so haven't a clue what is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Could you not plastic prime: http://www.autopaintsbrighton.co.uk/u-pol-1k-plastic-primer-adhesion-promotor-600ml-aerosol-upol-2579-p.asp a UPVC cloaking board after lightly abrading it then spray yourself? My local Spraystore will make up aerosols to RAL colours. I've also used HMG Paints in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
