The FloPlast Shiplap Cladding Drip Trim is an essential finishing component for homeowners and contractors installing UPVC Shiplap or V Joint cladding systems, specifically engineered to deflect rainwater away from window and door openings. Its primary benefit is the long-term protection of building facades against moisture ingress and weather damage. While it offers excellent durability and aesthetic uniformity, users should note that as a 5-metre component, it requires careful handling and precise cutting to ensure seamless installation across wider elevations.

While it is engineered for FloPlast systems, it may be compatible with other standard 100mm UPVC cladding profiles, but you should verify dimensions before purchase.
Use a fine-toothed hand saw or a power mitre saw with a plastic-cutting blade for the cleanest results.
The UPVC is UV-stabilized to minimize color fading; however, exposure to intense direct sunlight over many years may lead to minor changes in shade.
No, the trim is finished in its final color and does not require painting or staining.
It is recommended to use a standard trim joint cover or butt the sections together carefully with a small bead of color-matched exterior sealant to allow for thermal expansion.
Check for debris behind the trim or ensure that the cladding board underneath is not protruding too far.
Ensure that the top edge of the trim is properly sealed against the building facade using an appropriate weather-grade exterior sealant.
Installation requires basic hand tools, including a fine-tooth saw for cutting to length and appropriate non-corrosive fixings. Ensure the trim is installed level to maintain the integrity of the water runoff path.
Compatibility: This trim is designed for use with FloPlast Shiplap and V Joint cladding. Always check that the existing wall substrate is sound before mounting the backing frame for the cladding.
Care: The UPVC finish is low-maintenance. To keep the trim looking new, simply wash it down with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution once or twice a year to remove dust and environmental pollutants. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical solvents.
