Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast Two Part Top Edge Trim is designed for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts working on UPVC cladding projects who need a reliable solution for finishing edges beneath soffits or window frames. Its primary benefit is a modular two-part design that eliminates the struggle of trying to slot final cladding boards into tight spaces, providing a clean, secure, and professional appearance. The main caveat to keep in mind is that you must prepare a small packing piece from a board offcut to ensure the final board fits snugly when using this trim system.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this trim suitable for use with wood cladding?

This product is specifically designed for use with UPVC Shiplap and V Joint cladding systems.

How do I create a packing piece?

You can fashion a packing piece by cutting a small strip from an offcut of your existing cladding board to ensure the final board is properly supported.

Can this be cut to size?

Yes, the UPVC can be easily cut to your required length using a standard fine-toothed hand saw.

Does it come with fixings?

Fixings are not included; you should use appropriate corrosion-resistant screws suitable for your specific batten material.

Is the Black Ash finish durable?

The finish is designed for exterior use and is resistant to typical weather conditions; however, avoid scratching it with sharp tools during installation.

What is the total length of the trim?

Each individual trim piece is 5 metres in length.

Troubleshooting

Front trim section will not click into the back section

Check that the final cladding board or the packing piece is not protruding too far, preventing the clip from engaging.

Trim feels loose after installation

Ensure the back section is securely screwed into the batten and verify the packing piece is thick enough to hold the cladding board firmly against the trim.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplifies installation in tight, restricted spaces
  • High-quality Black Ash finish for a professional look
  • Compatible with both Shiplap and V Joint systems
  • Generous 5-metre length covers most standard runs

Cons

  • Requires manual creation of a packing piece for the final board
  • Fixed length may require transport planning for smaller vehicles
  • Specific to edge finishing; cannot be used for general corner junctions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your timber battens are level and securely fixed to the substrate. The back section of the trim should be screwed into the batten at regular intervals. Because the trim is made of durable UPVC, it is resistant to rot and weathering, meaning it requires minimal maintenance. To keep it looking new, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution if dirt accumulates. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the Black Ash finish.
