Product Information

Full details

The Hollow Soffit H Trim is designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a seamless, finished look when installing 5-metre hollow soffit boards. Its primary benefit is providing a clean, secure junction between boards that accommodates both horizontal and vertical orientations. While highly durable and versatile, users should note that the 5-metre length requires careful handling and transport to avoid bending or damage during installation.

Troubleshooting

Trim feels loose or boards rattle

Ensure the sub-structure to which the trim is fixed is solid and that the trim itself is screwed or pinned correctly into the framing.

Difficulty inserting board into the H-channel

Check for debris inside the channel or slight warping of the soffit board. Ensure the board is cut square before insertion.

Fading of the black finish over time

While designed for exterior use, extreme UV exposure can affect pigments; maintain the surface by cleaning regularly to prevent grime buildup.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a seamless professional finish
  • Suitable for both horizontal and vertical applications
  • High-quality material ensures long-term exterior durability

  • Length makes it difficult to transport in smaller vehicles

  • Specific to hollow soffit boards, not compatible with solid boards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure your sub-structure is level and free from debris. Measure the total run of your soffit and cut the trim to length using a fine-toothed saw. When installing, ensure the trim is fixed securely to the timber framing so that the soffit boards can slide into the channels without friction. For cleaning, simply wipe the trim with a mild detergent and water; avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh solvents, as these may damage the black finish. Periodically inspect the join to ensure that no debris has accumulated in the channel, which could lead to moisture retention.
