Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this trim with non-Knotwood cladding?

While designed for Knotwood systems, its dimensions may be compatible with other cladding profiles; however, always verify compatibility before installation.

Does the aluminium require a protective sealant?

No, the trim comes with a durable, factory-applied topcoat that does not require additional sealants or paints.

Is the trim resistant to rust?

Yes, as it is manufactured from high-quality aluminium, it is naturally resistant to rust and oxidation.

What is the warranty period?

The product is backed by a 15-year warranty covering material defects.

How do I cut the trim to length?

Use a miter saw equipped with a non-ferrous metal cutting blade for the cleanest results.

Is this product suitable for saltwater environments?

Yes, its aluminium composition and high-quality topcoat are designed to endure extreme environments, including coastal areas.

Troubleshooting

Trim appears slightly off-level during installation

Use a laser level or a long spirit level to check the mounting substrate before fastening; shim the substrate if necessary.

Difficulty making precise cuts

Ensure you are using a high-quality fine-toothed blade designed specifically for non-ferrous metals and aluminium.

Fasteners seem loose

Verify that you are using the correct gauge and type of screw compatible with the underlying wall structure and that they are not over-tightened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to warping, twisting, and rot
  • Environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable
  • Durable, scratch-resistant finish
  • 15-year manufacturer warranty

Cons

  • Requires precise cutting tools for aluminium

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires the use of appropriate cutting blades suitable for aluminium to prevent burrs or jagged edges. Ensure the substrate is level before securing the trim, as any inconsistencies at the starting point will carry through to the final cladding boards. Use fasteners recommended by the manufacturer to prevent galvanic corrosion between the aluminium trim and different metal framing. For care, simply wipe down the trim periodically with mild soap and water to remove dust and pollutants. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals that could compromise the durable topcoat.
