The FloPlast 150mm Shiplap Cladding Butt Joint is an essential accessory for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts installing PVC shiplap cladding on large exterior wall surfaces. It provides a clean, professional finish by allowing two cladding boards to meet seamlessly, creating a staggered or continuous visual effect that eliminates the need for bulky corner trims. While it provides excellent aesthetic versatility, users should note that it is precision-engineered specifically for 150mm board profiles and requires careful measurement to ensure a watertight fit.

No, this specific butt joint is designed exclusively for 150mm shiplap cladding profiles.
Generally, it is secured via mechanical fixing to the batten structure; adhesive is not typically required.
No, color tones can vary by manufacturer. It is recommended to use FloPlast trims with FloPlast cladding to ensure a perfect color match.
The material is UV-stable. Routine cleaning with mild soap and water is sufficient to keep it looking new.
Yes, while designed for exterior use, it functions perfectly for interior cladding projects as well.
Check that the cladding board is indeed the 150mm profile and ensure the board edge is cut square without burrs.
Verify that the trim was properly fixed to the underlying timber battens during the initial framing stage.
To install, ensure your primary cladding support framework (battens) is level. When reaching the junction point, cut your cladding boards with a clean, 90-degree square edge. Slide the butt joint into place, ensuring it is plumb against the vertical support timber. Fix the joint to the wall structure according to standard cladding guidelines, allowing for slight expansion gaps if required by local building regulations. For care, simply wash down the trim periodically with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to prevent the buildup of grime and pollutants. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or solvent-based cleaners that could damage the UV-stable finish.
