Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Shiplap Cladding Drip Trim is an essential component for professional installers and homeowners working on external cladding projects, designed to deflect rainwater away from window and door openings to prevent moisture damage. This 5-meter trim provides both a clean, professional aesthetic in Black Ash and critical weather protection for building facades; however, it is specifically engineered for use with UPVC Shiplap or V-Joint systems and requires precise cutting to match your specific wall opening dimensions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this trim with timber cladding?

No, this product is specifically designed for use with UPVC Shiplap or V-Joint cladding systems.

Is the Black Ash finish UV stable?

Yes, it is manufactured from high-quality, weather-resistant UPVC intended for external use.

How do I cut the trim?

You can easily cut the trim using a standard fine-toothed handsaw or a power saw with a blade suitable for plastic.

Does this trim come in other colors?

This specific variant is provided in Black Ash; check the FloPlast product catalog for other available color options.

Do I need to apply sealant to the trim?

Generally, the mechanical design of the trim is sufficient to deflect water, but you may use a compatible silicone sealant if specific building regulations or site conditions require an airtight seal.

Troubleshooting

Trim appears loose after installation

Check that the fixings are penetrating the solid substrate or timber battens behind the cladding.

Water still reaches the window frame

Ensure the trim is installed with a slight outward pitch to encourage water to drip away from the wall rather than back toward it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable UPVC construction resists rot and corrosion
  • Provides a finished, professional look to cladding installations
  • Easy to cut to length for custom window and door widths
  • Reduces the risk of water damage to building openings

Cons

  • Not suitable for use with timber cladding systems
  • Large 5-meter length can be difficult to transport in smaller vehicles
  • Requires precise installation to ensure effective water runoff

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, measure the width of your window or door opening and cut the trim to size using a fine-toothed saw. Ensure the trim is fixed securely into the structural substrate or timber battens behind the cladding. Because this is a UPVC product, it requires no painting or special sealant maintenance; a simple wipe down with a damp cloth and mild detergent is sufficient to maintain its appearance. Ensure that no debris or blockage accumulates in the drip channel over time to keep water flowing freely away from the facade.
