About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

The fact that the material is resistant to moisture, mold, fungi and chemical agents , which underlines the durability of the skirting, is a positive feature.
Due to thenature of the profile, installation is possible in almost any position and at any angle, providing effective protection against soiling, unevenness and chipping.
This skirting board can be used as a finishing strip for PVC floor coverings or wall panels and is also ideal for covering various types of joints and transitions throughout the home and commercial sector.
For the best possible adhesion of the adhesive, it is important to thoroughly clean and degrease the surface before installing the soft skirting board. Depending on the type of surface, light petroleum e.g. can be used. It is also recommended that the installation is carried out at room temperature in order to achieve optimum results.
In practical tests, this product impressed with its simple installation and attractive appearance.

  • Simple assembly
  • Attractive appearance
  • Minimal PVC odor immediately after unpacking

This product was delivered in a cardboard box that was well adapted to the size of the rolled-up skirting board.
Inside the box, the rolled-up skirting board and safety instructions were well padded with bubble wrap .
With regard to the bubble wrap, it would be desirable for the seller to consider a more environmentally friendly packaging option .
In principle, no instructions for use are required for the product as it is self-explanatory.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.2 stars. In individual cases, the adhesive strength is criticized as being too low. On the other hand, the good workmanship and simple application are highlighted as positive aspects. In our practical test , we were able to confirm that the skirting board is easy to fit and the workmanship is also solid. The criticism from consumers that the adhesive strength was too low could not be substantiated in the practical test.

Prices of up to €18 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €10 . The self-adhesive skirting board from HOLZBRINK is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €12.19. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
