Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Shiplap Cladding Drip Trim in Anthracite Grey Woodgrain is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to protect external building openings from water ingress. It serves as a critical weather-deflection barrier above doors and windows, ensuring long-term structural integrity while providing a clean, aesthetic finish. While it is highly durable and easy to install, users should ensure they have the correct cladding profile, as it is specifically engineered for use with 150mm Shiplap or 100mm V Joint systems.

FAQs

Can this trim be used with other cladding types?

This trim is specifically optimized for 150mm Shiplap or 100mm V Joint cladding systems and may not provide a secure fit for other profiles.

Does the trim come in different lengths?

This specific model comes in a 5-metre length to accommodate most standard window and door spans.

What is the primary purpose of this trim?

Its primary purpose is to deflect running rainwater away from the top of door and window openings.

Is the finish weather-resistant?

Yes, the Anthracite Grey Woodgrain finish is designed for external use and is resistant to fading and weathering.

What tools are needed for cutting?

A standard fine-tooth saw is sufficient for cutting the PVC material to your desired length.

Should I use sealant with this trim?

While the design is intended to deflect water, some installers use a high-quality external grade sealant at the junction with the window frame for extra peace of mind.

Troubleshooting

Trim feels loose after installation

Ensure that fixings are placed at the manufacturer's recommended intervals and are secured into the structural timber behind the cladding.

Water is still getting behind the trim

Check that the drip trim has a slight downward pitch to ensure water flows away from the building rather than pooling at the back of the trim.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects building openings from water damage
  • Provides a professional, finished aesthetic
  • Long 5-metre length minimizes the need for joints
  • Durable, weather-resistant finish
  • Simple to integrate with standard cladding systems

Cons

  • Requires precise cutting to match window and door widths
  • Restricted to use with specific 100mm/150mm profile types
  • Transportation of 5-metre lengths requires careful handling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard PVC cutting tools, such as a fine-tooth saw or a powered miter saw, to ensure clean edges. The trim should be secured through the upper flange into the timber support frame using stainless steel fixings to prevent corrosion.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for 150mm Shiplap Cladding
  • Designed for 100mm V Joint Cladding

Care:

  • Periodic cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water will maintain the Anthracite Grey finish.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the woodgrain texture.
