Velida Flex Luna - Arch Bundle

Yes, our Flex frames are made of a matte material that allows paint to adhere excellently.

Two coats are usually enough for full coverage. You can easily paint it the same color as your wall for a seamless effect.

You need a mitre shear or a utility knife and a pencil to mark out your lines.

For arches you use a piece of string to set the radius: fix the string at the centre point of the arch, extend it to the length of the radius you want and draw a curved line with it. You will find the full explanation in our installation guide.

Especially for installation, we have a value bundle with a precision square and mitre shear, so you work easily and straight.

Once it is clear where the Flex frames need to go, it is simply a matter of removing the protective tape from the adhesive strip, sticking them on and cutting where necessary.

To cut the mouldings to size, use skirting board scissors or a utility knife to ensure a neat, straight cut.

Make sure the Flex frames are cut straight so the corners align properly! Check this before gluing to prevent gaps.

Gaps mainly appear when the moulding is not cut straight. Two tips: cut the moulding straight, at 45 degrees for the corners if needed, and lay it flat on a table or the floor while cutting so it does not sag and you get a clean cut. Still ended up with a small gap? Fill it with a little acrylic sealant and a touch of paint.

This does happen quite often because the adhesive strip is very strong. Luckily there is a trick for it.

Make sure you have a satay or cocktail stick to hand. Slide it under the red strip and move the stick towards the end of the moulding.

Velida Flex mouldings are packed rolled up. Because of that tension, the end of the roll can curl slightly, usually over the last 20 cm. This is normal for flexible material and says nothing about the quality. Before installing, unroll the moulding for a few hours at room temperature. If the end still lifts slightly from the wall, fix it with superglue and activator or cut off the last piece. For this reason, allow for 10% cutting margin when calculating your length.

One 6 metre roll covers a standard arch up to 100 cm wide and 210 cm high, including 10% cutting margin. If you are making an arch with a horizontal middle section, count on a maximum width of 80 cm per roll. Every product page has a calculator that works this out for you.
