The Ecoscape Composite Cladding Starter Bar is an essential component for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to create a level, secure foundation for external cladding projects. By providing a solid starting point for your first row of boards, it ensures long-term stability and consistent alignment across your wall surface; however, installers must be precise during the initial leveling process, as any deviation here can impact the entire facade.

Yes, it is the fundamental base component required to hold the first row of cladding boards securely in place and ensure correct leveling.
Yes, the 3-metre length can be easily cut using a standard circular saw or hand saw to fit your specific wall dimensions.
You will need a spirit level, a drill, corrosion-resistant screws, and a cutting tool for the composite material.
Use a laser level or a high-quality bubble level across the length of the bar before fully tightening all your fixings.
It is specifically designed for Ecoscape systems; while it may fit others, compatibility is only guaranteed with Ecoscape products.
Remove the fixings and use shims behind the starter bar to correct the alignment until a perfectly level line is achieved.
Check the starter bar for debris or bent edges that might be obstructing the connection channel.
To install, ensure your sub-frame is plumb and level before attaching the starter bar. Use corrosion-resistant screws suitable for your specific wall substrate. Measure from the lowest point of your intended cladding area to ensure you have enough space for the starter bar profile. Once fixed, verify the level again before clipping on your first board. Regular maintenance involves simply checking that the base remains clear of debris or soil buildup that could trap moisture against the cladding material.
