The FloPlast Shiplap Cladding Centre Joint Trim is an essential component for DIYers and professional installers looking to achieve a professional, weather-resistant finish when installing external UPVC cladding. Designed specifically to bridge the gap between two cladding panels in a straight line, it offers both aesthetic consistency and added protection against the elements. While this 5-metre length ensures ample coverage for large surfaces, installers should be aware that accurate measurement and cutting are required to ensure a precise, clean fit between panels.

No, this trim is designed specifically for linear connections between two panels on a flat wall surface.
The trim is designed to be low-maintenance and finished; painting it is generally not recommended as it may not adhere well to the UPVC surface.
A fine-toothed hand saw or a power miter saw with a plastic-cutting blade is recommended for a clean, splinter-free cut.
Fixings are typically sold separately, as the type of screw or nail required depends on the substrate (timber battens vs. masonry) you are fixing to.
Yes, the UPVC construction is highly resistant to moisture and salt spray, making it suitable for most external environments.
Check that the cladding boards were cut at a perfect 90-degree angle; a slight deviation will create visible gaps.
Ensure the trim is properly secured to the mounting batten behind the cladding with the correct number of fixings.
Ensure that your cladding boards are cut squarely before installing the trim. The centre joint should be secured to the underlying structural timber or battens using appropriate corrosion-resistant fixings.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance of your UPVC trim, simply wipe down with a soft cloth and mild soapy water during your regular home maintenance schedule. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical solvents, as these can dull the finish or damage the UV-resistant outer layer.
