Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Cladding Centre Joint Trim is an essential component for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to create seamless, continuous lines when installing external cladding systems. Engineered to bridge two cladding panels, this trim provides a durable and clean aesthetic finish for exterior walls. While it offers excellent structural alignment and weather protection, users should note that its fixed 5-metre length may require strategic cutting to match specific wall heights or architectural requirements.

FAQs

Can I use this trim with other cladding brands?

This trim is designed specifically for FloPlast Shiplap and V-Joint profiles; usage with other brands may result in a poor fit.

How do I cut the trim to size?

Use a fine-toothed hand saw or a power mitre saw with a blade suitable for PVC to ensure a clean, burr-free edge.

Is this trim suitable for internal use?

While intended for external use due to its durability, it can be used internally if the aesthetic matches your project requirements.

What fixings should I use?

Use stainless steel, rust-proof cladding pins or screws to secure the trim to your timber battens.

Does this replace the need for butt-jointing?

Yes, it provides an alternative to butt-jointing, offering a more structured and intentional finish between panel segments.

Troubleshooting

Trim does not fit panel snugly

Verify that you are using 150mm Shiplap or 100mm V-Joint compatible panels and check for any debris inside the trim channel.

Trim appears crooked after installation

Check that the supporting batten is level. Adjust the trim alignment before final fixing if the vertical plumb is off.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures perfectly straight alignment between panels
  • High durability for long-term external use
  • Compatible with both Shiplap and V-Joint profiles
  • Provides a clean, professional aesthetic finish

Cons

  • Fixed 5-metre length may result in material waste for shorter walls
  • Requires precise cutting for exact vertical alignment
  • Visible trim profile may not suit every design preference

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the supporting framework or battens are perfectly vertical before securing the trim. Use appropriate corrosion-resistant fixings to attach the trim to your wooden batten structure. This product is specifically designed to house 150mm Shiplap and 100mm V-Joint cladding. Maintenance is minimal; however, it is recommended to clean the trim annually with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove surface grime or pollutants. Avoid abrasive cleaners or sharp implements that may scratch the surface finish during the installation or cleaning process.
