Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Two-Part Top Edge Trim is designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts who require a secure, clean finish when installing cladding beneath soffits or window ledges. Its primary benefit is the innovative two-piece design that simplifies the installation of the final board by allowing the back section to be mounted independently before the front is clipped into place. However, users should note that depending on the specific wall alignment, you may need a packing piece to ensure a perfectly secure fit for the terminal board.

FAQs

Can I use this with other cladding brands?

This product is specifically designed for FloPlast 150mm Shiplap and 100mm V-Joint systems; performance cannot be guaranteed with other manufacturers.

Is the material weather-resistant?

Yes, it is made from durable PVC designed for exterior use, making it resistant to weathering and UV degradation.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Standard hand tools such as a saw for cutting to length, a screwdriver or drill for fixing, and a measuring tape are sufficient.

Can I cut this trim easily?

Yes, the PVC can be cut easily using a fine-toothed hand saw or a hacksaw.

What is the primary function of the two-part system?

It allows the back part to be fixed to the wall first, making it much easier to install the final cladding board which would otherwise be difficult to slide into a one-piece trim.

Troubleshooting

The front trim will not clip on

Ensure the back section is not obstructed by debris and check that the cladding board is fully seated in the channel.

The final cladding board feels loose

Use a thin packing piece behind the cladding board to push it firmly against the front trim channel.

Difficult to align the back section

Use a spirit level to ensure the back section is perfectly plumb before fixing it to the battens.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplifies installation of the final cladding board
  • Creates a professional, neat finish
  • Compatible with both Shiplap and V-Joint systems
  • Robust 5-meter length for continuous runs

Cons

  • May require extra packing pieces for specific wall depths
  • Requires careful alignment of the back section before clipping
  • Limited to specific FloPlast cladding profile widths

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first measure and cut the back section to length. Fix the back section securely to your mounting battens using appropriate corrosion-resistant screws. Insert your top cladding board into the channel provided. Once confirmed that the board is aligned and secure, snap the front trim piece into the back section until it clicks into place. If you find the cladding board is loose within the channel, insert a small packing piece behind the board before clipping on the front trim to ensure a snug fit. Keep the PVC material clean by wiping it down with mild soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid using abrasive solvents or cleaners that may scratch the finish.
