The Knotwood Aluminium Cladding Starter Trim is an essential component for contractors and homeowners seeking a professional, high-durability finish for their exterior wall cladding projects. By providing a secure, sleek foundation for your cladding installation, this trim offers superior resistance to warping and weathering compared to traditional timber alternatives; however, users should note that as a metallic component, it requires precise cutting tools suited for aluminium to ensure clean, accurate edges.

While designed for the Knotwood system, it can be used with other cladding profiles provided the dimensions match your panel thickness requirements.
No, the trim is provided without pre-drilled holes to allow for custom placement of fixings according to your specific wall framing.
Yes, the finish is tested for excellent colour stability and is designed to withstand prolonged exposure to harsh UV radiation.
Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
As an aluminium product, it is non-combustible, but you should verify compliance with your local building fire safety codes for exterior wall materials.
The product comes with a factory-applied durable finish; repainting is generally not recommended as it may void the material's protective properties.
Check the level of the underlying battens or substrate; re-shim the battens before re-fixing the trim.
Ensure you are using a sharp, non-ferrous metal blade and file down any burrs with a fine-grit metal file.
Ensure you are using high-quality stainless steel or marine-grade fixings to prevent galvanic reaction with the aluminium.
Before installation, ensure your wall surface is clean and level. Use appropriate screws or fixings as recommended by your cladding system specifications, ensuring you allow for minor thermal expansion if required by local building codes. To cut the 2825mm trim to size, use a drop saw or circular saw equipped with an aluminium-cutting blade to prevent burring or damage to the protective coating. For routine care, simply rinse the trim with water and a mild detergent during your regular building maintenance schedule to remove dust or salt buildup; avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical solvents that could compromise the specialized finish.
