Product Information

Full details

The Forma Composite Decking Angle Trim in Argent is designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts seeking a polished, durable finish for their composite projects. This versatile profile acts as the primary solution for capping exposed board ends on decking and sealing edges in cladding applications, providing a clean look while protecting structural components from the elements. While the argent finish offers a sophisticated blend of grey and dark blue tones, users should ensure their primary decking or cladding color is a close match to maintain a seamless aesthetic, as this specific trim is a distinct color profile.

FAQs

Can I use this trim on timber decking?

While intended for composite, it can be used on timber, but note that the movement rates of wood and composite differ significantly, which may require careful installation.

Is the argent color the same as anthracite?

Argent is a distinct finish featuring a mix of grey and dark blue tones, which is similar to anthracite but may have a slightly cooler blue undertone.

How do I cut the composite trim?

Use a standard carbide-tipped wood blade on a miter or circular saw. Composite cuts similarly to dense hardwood.

Does the trim come with fixings?

Fixings are typically sold separately to ensure you can choose the correct length and finish for your specific substrate.

Can this be used for internal projects?

While designed for external use, there is no technical reason it cannot be used internally if the aesthetic fits your interior design.

Troubleshooting

Trim appears to be warping or buckling

This is often due to a lack of thermal expansion gaps. Ensure you have left small gaps between lengths and do not overtighten fixings.

Visible screws are disrupting the aesthetic

Use color-matched trim screws or consider using a high-quality, weather-resistant adhesive designed for composite materials if mechanical fixings are not preferred.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a clean, professional finish to board edges
  • High resistance to weather-related degradation
  • Substantial 3000mm length reduces installation joints
  • Dual-purpose functionality for decking and cladding
  • Sophisticated color profile that complements modern designs

Cons

  • Fixed dimensions may require cutting for specific project layouts
  • Specific argent finish must be color-matched to your existing boards
  • Composite material requires specific cutting tools compared to standard timber

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard woodworking tools, including a miter saw for clean corner cuts and an appropriate drill for fixing. It is recommended to pre-drill holes through the trim to prevent splitting, using color-matched screws where necessary for an invisible fix. When installing, ensure there is a small gap (approximately 3mm) for thermal expansion, as composite materials will naturally expand and contract with temperature fluctuations.

For care, the trim is low maintenance. Simply clean with soapy water and a soft brush to remove dust or organic debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive power washers at close range, as these can damage the finish. Check fixings annually to ensure the trim remains secure against the board edges.
