Product Information

Full details

The Weatherboard Cladding Universal Edge Trim is designed for professional installers and homeowners looking to finish their exterior cladding projects with precision. This 3-metre, one-piece channel serves as a vital component for concealing cut board edges and creating a weather-resistant, clean seal, ensuring your 170mm cladding system looks uniform. While it provides excellent protection and aesthetics, users should note that it is specifically engineered for 170mm systems, limiting its use with non-compatible board profiles.

FAQs

Can I use this trim with 150mm cladding?

No, this trim is specifically designed for 170mm weatherboard systems and will not provide a secure or aesthetic fit for 150mm boards.

Is the Storm Grey finish color-fast?

Yes, Freefoam products are manufactured with high-quality pigments designed to resist fading and discoloration from UV exposure.

How should I cut the trim?

Use a fine-toothed saw or a power miter saw with a blade suitable for plastic/uPVC to ensure a clean, smooth cut.

Does this trim require maintenance?

Minimal maintenance is required. Occasional washing with soap and water is sufficient to keep the trim looking new.

Can this be used for internal corners?

This trim is primarily an edge trim for sealing exposed board ends. For internal corners, specific internal corner profiles are recommended.

Troubleshooting

Trim feels loose after installation

Ensure that the cladding board is fully inserted into the channel and that fixings are placed at the recommended intervals along the support batten.

Difficulty sliding trim over the board

Check the cladding board edge for any burrs or rough spots caused by the saw. Lightly sand the edge of the board to ensure a smooth entry into the trim.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a clean, professional finish for board edges
  • Easy to install as a one-piece channel system
  • High-quality material designed for exterior durability
  • 3-metre length allows for long, uninterrupted runs

Cons

  • Limited compatibility specifically to 170mm systems
  • Cannot be used as a structural component
  • Requires precise measuring to avoid wastage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure the vertical height of the area requiring edge coverage.
  2. Cut the 3-metre trim to the required length using a fine-toothed saw.
  3. Position the trim so it sits flush against the cladding board edge.
  4. Secure the trim to the underlying support batten using stainless steel fixings to prevent corrosion.

Compatibility:

This trim is exclusively compatible with 170mm weatherboard cladding systems. Do not attempt to use it with thicker or thinner board profiles as this will compromise the moisture seal.

Care:

Clean the trim periodically using a soft cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the Storm Grey finish and damage the UV-resistant surface layer.
