Product Information

You must be careful and take your time while cutting to ensure you don’t damage the profile of the trim. You can either silicone or screw the trims in place depending on the situation. Screws are recommended for internal corners or coving fitted before the cladding. This is to be mounted on the bottom of the installation - before the boards have been fitted - to provide a weather drip to angle any water away from the mounting wall. This can be used with either the 100mm V Joint or the 150mm Shiplap. Trims are used to cover any internal, external or open edges with a decorative finish. This is the most simple method of achieving a nice tidy finish to your cladding. Each trim is available in a style that will compliment any cladding design.

The Cladding Drip Trim will usually be used above a door or window head to deflect any running water away from the opening which can be useful during periods of adverse weather. This trim is 5 metres in length and should be used in conjunction with 150mm Shiplap or 100mm V Joint Cladding and is suitable for external use on buildings as a decorative and protective facing. In most situations, a trim will be needed to cover untidy cuts or gaps around external edges, internal corners, wall to ceiling cladding, or simply to complement the cladding edges. Cladding trims provide a clean look rather than using just silicone which can provide the inconsistent finish. Fitting trims to corners or wall to ceiling joins look great if they’re in one piece. One continuous trim always looks better, rather than many offcuts used together to cover one join. This is usually avoidable.The only trims you can fit before the cladding are internal trims, coving trims and some types of external trims.
