As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under \"Comments\" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut OnceSince custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring TapeExtend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2\" has a bigger mark than 1/4\" which has a bigger mark than 1/8\". The smallest mark follows at 1/16\". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End HookThe sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
Natural Virgin UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) Rustication Reveal Strips are a reliable solution for creating crisp, clean architectural reveals and shadow lines in tilt-up and cast-in-place concrete applications. Engineered for easy release, Virgin UHMW helps reduce concrete adhesion and is a highly reusable component for multiple pours compared to traditional forming materials. Replacing wood strips with these durable profiles helps reduce the risk of form damage and minimize cleanup time. Looking for improved outdoor performance? We also offer Black Virgin UHMW. Unlike porous wood and many lower-impact plastics, Virgin UHMW features extremely long molecular chains that provide excellent toughness. These strips are a strong choice if your project requires: While wood is a traditional choice, UHMW's performance in repetitive applications differs significantly. Read UHMW vs. HDPE Technical Guide › UHMW Rustication Strips are easily fabricated using standard woodworking tools. They can be drilled, countersunk, and routed for custom fitments. Because UHMW has a high coefficient of thermal expansion, slotted holes for fasteners are recommended to allow the material to "breathe" during temperature fluctuations. Note: UHMW is "non-stick" and cannot be effectively bonded with standard adhesives; mechanical fastening (such as screwing to the formwork) is required.
