Foresta Wood Effect Cladding Starter Trim - 3mtr - Black

No, the starter trim is an essential accessory that must be purchased separately to provide a proper foundation for the installation.

The Foresta Starter Trim is engineered specifically for Foresta Wood Effect Cladding profiles and may not provide a secure fit for other manufacturer's products.

You will need a spirit level or laser level, a measuring tape, a drill with appropriate bits, and corrosion-resistant screws suitable for your wall substrate.

It is a low-maintenance component. Periodically ensure that the area around the base remains clear of heavy dirt or vegetation buildup.

You must shim the starter trim or ensure the sub-frame/battens are adjusted so that the starter trim itself is level, as the trim dictates the alignment of all subsequent boards.

Ensure that the starter trim is mounted level and that no debris has entered the channel. Check that the cladding board is the correct model designed for this system.

Verify that you are using the correct length and gauge of screws for your specific substrate material and that you have utilized enough fixing points along the length of the trim.
