FAQs

Can I paint this trim a different colour?

The trim is finished with a high-quality, durable topcoat that is designed for longevity; painting is generally not recommended as it may void the benefits of the factory finish.

Does this trim rust?

No, it is made from high-grade aluminium, which is naturally resistant to rust, making it an excellent choice for coastal environments.

How do I transport the 5650mm length?

Due to the 5.65-meter length, you will require a vehicle with a roof rack system designed for long loads or a professional delivery service.

Is this product fire-rated?

Knotwood aluminium products are non-combustible, offering superior fire resistance compared to timber alternatives.

Can I use standard wood screws to attach the trim?

It is recommended to use screws specified for aluminium cladding installations to ensure compatibility with the thermal expansion of the metal.

Troubleshooting

Trim appears to be slightly too long for the wall section

Measure twice and cut using a miter saw equipped with a non-ferrous metal cutting blade.

Surface finish appears dusty or dull after installation

Wipe down with a damp, lint-free cloth; the UV-stable coating is designed to maintain its sheen with simple cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to warping, twisting, and environmental degradation
  • Extremely low maintenance compared to natural timber
  • Environmentally conscious manufacturing process
  • High-quality, realistic wood grain finish
  • Exceptional resistance to surface damage like chipping or scratching

Cons

  • Requires specialized cutting tools for aluminium
  • Length of 5650mm may be challenging for transport or maneuvering in small areas
  • Requires precise installation to ensure cladding fits perfectly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure you have a metal-cutting saw blade suitable for aluminium to maintain a clean edge on the 5650mm sections. The trim should be fixed directly to the building framework, ensuring it is perfectly level before attaching your first row of cladding boards. Compatibility is optimized with Knotwood cladding systems, though it can be adapted to other systems if dimensions align.

Care instructions are minimal: because of the durable topcoat, the trim does not require staining or oiling. If it accumulates dust or debris, simply wash the surface with water and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may compromise the integrity of the finish over time.
