FAQs

Can I use this trim on any composite deck?

While it is designed for the Forma range, it can be used on other composite decks provided the dimensions match your project needs and you are comfortable with the color contrast.

How do I cut the flat trim?

You can use standard woodworking tools, such as a circular saw or miter saw, fitted with a fine-toothed blade designed for composite materials.

Is the spiced oak color prone to fading?

Composite materials are designed to be fade-resistant; however, some natural weathering is expected over long periods of intense direct sunlight exposure.

Can this trim be used for decking boards?

No, this is specifically a flat trim intended for edging, fascia, or risers, and is not designed to carry the structural load of a decking board.

Does this require special screws?

It is highly recommended to use composite-specific screws, which feature smaller heads and threads that prevent 'mushrooming' during installation.

Troubleshooting

Trim appears loose after installation

Check that the screws are fully tightened and that the substructure support beam is directly behind the screw point.

Visible gaps appearing between trims

Ensure proper allowance for thermal expansion during installation; if gaps are excessive, check that the ambient temperature has not caused significant contraction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-end aesthetic resembling freshly oiled red cedar
  • Provides a clean, professional finish to deck edges and steps
  • Durable composite construction resists rotting and warping
  • Low maintenance requirements compared to traditional wood trims

Cons

  • Fixed length of 3000mm may require multiple pieces for larger decks
  • Color matching should be verified against existing deck boards to ensure consistency
  • Requires proper installation spacing for thermal expansion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your sub-frame is level and that the edge of the decking board is cut cleanly. The trim should be measured and cut using a standard wood-cutting saw. Always leave a small expansion gap at the ends of the boards to account for temperature fluctuations. For maintenance, simply clean the trims with a mild soapy water solution and a soft brush to remove dust or organic debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could dull the wood-grain finish.
