The FloPlast Shiplap Cladding Starter Trim is an essential component for DIYers and professional installers looking to achieve a clean, professional finish when installing Shiplap or V-Joint cladding. Its primary benefit is providing a secure, perfectly aligned foundation for your first cladding board while ensuring proper airflow to prevent moisture buildup. The primary caveat is that it must be installed with precise leveling at the start of your project, as any slope in the starter trim will be magnified across the entire cladding installation.

Check for debris or obstructions inside the channel and ensure the trim is not deformed due to over-tightening of fixing screws.
Loosen the mounting screws and use a spirit level to re-align the trim before re-securing.
Ensure that the fixing screws are compatible with the material of your battens and that you are using pre-drilled holes if necessary to prevent material splitting.
This trim is compatible with standard PVC Shiplap and V-Joint cladding boards. It is not intended for use with flat-panel or square-edge cladding systems.
