FAQ

What kind of warranty is there on this product?
Trim-A-Slab is currently warranted for up to 10 years. Trim-A-Slab will not crack, get brittle, or be
adversely affected by heat, cold or moisture typical for a driveway anywhere in the US. Trim-A-Slab has
been used successfully from Minnesota to Florida. Color retention is warranted for 5years. As shown
below, Trim-A-Slab will get dirty and show tire marks, just like concrete. These can be cleaned with soap
and water. Trim-A-Slab can also be cleaned with a bleach solution, but do not use solvents such as MEK
or acetone, as these solvents will soften PVC.
What is not covered by warranty?
Trim-A-Slab is tough, but it’s still a plastic, so we do not warranty any damage incurred due to contact by
string trimmers, edgers, or similar hard materials hitting or being dragged over Trim-A-Slab. This will
cause cutting, scratches, and abrasion marks. The color of Trim-A-Slab is through and through, so you
won’t reveal some other color, but you can scratch it up.
PVCs have plasticizing agents which give them their flexibility. These agents, however, slowly evolve off
over long periods of time. This manifests itself as a loss of flexibility and a slight shrinkage. You will not
even notice this change once Trim-A-Slab is installed, except in length. We have measured up to 3 inches
per 10 feet of length in 5 years’ time. This will not always occur; if the Trim-A-Slab is gripped hard
enough, it won’t move. In other words, a tight fit will hold it in place, but a loose fit will allow shrinkage.
If this effect is to be eliminated, Trim-A-Slab can be glued to the concrete on installation. You can find
our recommended adhesive in our store, or you can try ‘original Gorilla glue’, although we have not
field-tested Gorilla glue for long durations
Trim-A-Slab can be painted; however, we cannot warrant Trim-A-Slab if you do. If you want to paint
anyway, we recommend that you try it on a sample, and see how it reacts and how well it adheres. We
have experimented with ‘PVC stains’, but found that the color faded quite fast, and we do not
recommend any at this time.
