Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this trim compatible with 150mm cladding?

No, this product is specifically engineered for use with 170mm weatherboard cladding systems.

Can this be used for internal corners?

No, this is an H-trim designed specifically for joining boards on a flat surface. You should use dedicated corner trims for corner installations.

How do I cut the trim to size?

The trim can be easily cut using a standard fine-tooth hacksaw or a power mitre saw with a blade suitable for plastic.

Is the white finish paintable?

The trim comes finished and ready for installation. It is not recommended to paint the trim, as standard paints may not adhere well to the PVC surface.

Can I use this for horizontal applications?

Yes, the H-trim is versatile and can be used to join boards horizontally, provided it is installed in accordance with standard cladding practices.

Troubleshooting

The front trim cover will not snap into the base.

Ensure that no cladding boards or fixings are obstructing the channel of the base trim, and verify that the base is not over-tightened against the wall.

Trim appears loose or rattles in the wind.

Check that the snap-fit teeth are properly engaged along the entire length; you may need to apply firm pressure or ensure the base is mounted on a level surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple snap-fit installation for a clean finish
  • Effective at hiding join lines between boards
  • Weather-resistant construction
  • Compatible with both vertical and horizontal layouts

Cons

  • Strictly designed for 170mm cladding systems
  • Requires careful alignment during initial base installation
  • Not suitable for use as a corner trim

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first measure your vertical or horizontal span and cut the 3-metre trim to size using a fine-tooth saw. Fix the base section to the timber or composite battens using appropriate corrosion-resistant fixings. Once the cladding boards are fixed into the channel, simply align the front trim and apply even pressure along its length to snap it into the base. The product requires minimal maintenance; an occasional wash down with warm soapy water and a soft cloth is sufficient to remove surface dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or solvent-based cleaners that could damage the finish.
