The FloPlast Two Part Top Edge Trim is an essential component for professional-grade exterior cladding installations, specifically designed for installers working with UPVC Shiplap or V-Joint systems near soffits and window frames. Its primary benefit is the innovative two-piece design, which eliminates the struggle of forcing a final cladding board into a narrow, fixed-channel trim. While it offers a superior finish, users should be aware that the final board often requires a customized packing piece, usually sourced from a cladding offcut, to ensure a secure and flush fit.

This trim is designed for FloPlast UPVC systems but is generally compatible with standard Shiplap and V-Joint cladding profiles of matching dimensions.
The packing piece fills the void behind the last board to ensure it is held firmly in place against the trim rather than rattling.
Yes, you can cut the 5-metre lengths using a standard fine-tooth handsaw or a power saw with a PVC-appropriate blade.
No, the front piece is designed as a clip-on mechanism, providing a smooth finish without visible screw heads.
Yes, it is designed for use wherever the cladding meets a top edge, regardless of orientation.
Check that the backplate is not being obstructed by over-thick cladding or debris; ensure the backplate is securely fastened to the batten.
Verify that you have installed the necessary packing piece behind the final board to push it flush against the trim.
To install, first securely fix the back section of the trim to the existing timber battening using appropriate exterior-grade fixings. When measuring the final cladding board, account for the depth of the trim and ensure you have an offcut piece ready to act as a packer behind the board to prevent rattling or movement. Once the cladding is seated, align the front clip-on section and apply even pressure along the length until you hear an audible click. For maintenance, clean the trim periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove dust and environmental grime; avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface finish.
