The FloPlast Shiplap Cladding Starter Trim is an essential component for DIY enthusiasts and trade professionals installing PVC cladding systems, designed to provide a secure foundation and a clean, professional edge for your exterior walls. It excels at ensuring precise alignment and necessary airflow for 150mm Shiplap or 100mm V Joint systems, though users should note that its rigid design requires careful measurement before fixing to avoid alignment issues later in the installation process.

This trim is specifically designed for FloPlast systems; performance or fit cannot be guaranteed with other brands.
Yes, it is designed for external use and is manufactured to resist fading and degradation from UV light.
You can cut the PVC trim using a fine-toothed wood saw or a miter saw for clean, straight edges.
No, fixings are not included. You should use appropriate stainless steel nails or screws suitable for your specific wall substrate.
It is not recommended to paint the trim, as it is manufactured with a specific woodgrain finish that does not require painting and may not hold paint well.
Check that the supporting timber battens are perfectly level before fixing the trim, as the trim follows the line of the batten.
Verify that you are using the correct compatible system (150mm Shiplap or 100mm V Joint) and ensure no debris is blocking the interior channel.
Before starting, ensure your timber battens are installed level and plumb, as the Starter Trim will mirror any irregularities in the underlying structure. Use appropriate corrosion-resistant fixings to attach the trim to the battens.
