The FloPlast Cladding Starter Trim in Rosewood is an essential component for professional building contractors and DIY enthusiasts installing PVC exterior cladding systems. It provides a secure, stable foundation for your first cladding board, ensuring a professional finish while facilitating critical moisture management through its integrated airflow design; however, note that this trim must be installed precisely level before cladding attachment to prevent alignment issues.

While designed for FloPlast systems, it may work with other standard PVC Shiplap profiles, but compatibility cannot be guaranteed.
Each length of the Rosewood Starter Trim is 5 meters long.
It is not recommended to paint the trim, as it comes with a finished Rosewood surface designed for exterior durability.
Yes, it is designed to be the starter piece at the base of any cladding application, whether at ground level or partway up a wall.
Use stainless steel or color-matched plastic-headed nails to prevent rust streaking on the cladding surface.
You can easily cut the trim using a fine-tooth hacksaw or a standard PVC hand saw.
Ensure the trim is mounted flush against the battens and check that no debris or excess screw heads are obstructing the inner channel.
Remove the fixing nails and use a spirit level to re-align the trim before re-securing to the battens.
Verify that the air gap provided by the trim has not been blocked by insulation or incorrect batten spacing.
To install, position the trim at the base of your desired cladding area and fix it to the wooden battening using non-corrosive stainless steel nails or screws. Ensure the trim is perfectly level, as any deviation here will be magnified as you stack higher courses of cladding. This product is fully compatible with both standard UPVC Shiplap and V Joint Cladding systems from the FloPlast range. For care, keep the trim free of heavy debris during installation. Once installed, it is virtually maintenance-free, requiring only occasional cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to maintain the Rosewood appearance.
