Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the cladding surface is level and the mounting area for the trim is free of debris.
Installation: Fix the base trim component using appropriate screws at 300-400mm intervals to provide a stable foundation.
Cladding Fit: Slide your aluminium cladding boards into the base channel, ensuring an expansion gap of 2-3mm to account for thermal movement.
Final Snap-on: Align the cover trim with the base and press firmly until you hear the locking clips engage.
Care: Clean the surface periodically with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water to remove dust and maintain the Natural Oak finish; avoid abrasive chemicals or heavy-duty pressure washing.
