Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your support structure is dry, level, and structural sound. The cladding should be installed according to local building regulations to ensure proper ventilation behind the boards, which prevents moisture buildup. When cutting to length, use a fine-tooth blade to prevent chipping the light grey finish. For cleaning, periodically rinse the exterior with mild soapy water and a soft brush to remove dust and debris. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly against the joints, as this may force water into the underlying structure. Always consult the SAM Trimax cladding installation video guide provided by the manufacturer for specific fastening patterns and spacing requirements.
