Fitting trims to corners or wall to ceiling joins look great if they’re in one piece. One continuous trim always looks better, rather than many offcuts used together to cover one join. This is usually avoidable. The most efficient way to mitre a joint is by hand with a utility blade and a measuring square. Although this is not suitable for coving as you will not be able to cut an accurate curve to meet another coving trim.

The most essential tool when it comes to fitting your trims, used to measure any edges so you can cut the trims accurately. Measuring Square These FloPlast plasticcladdingtrims are suitable for external use on buildings as a decorative and protective facing. Theyare used to fix the cladding vertically, horizontally and diagonally over most building surfaces.When installed correctly PVCu Cladding will reduce the thermal lose by adding an external barrier. PVC Cladding Systems have been assessed and given an A+ rating which allows the house builder / specifier to claim the code for sustainable homes the maximum of three points when using PVC cladding on an external wall system. Some first time fitters may find it difficult to remove, but they can do it simply with a sharp utility knife and a steady hand. Once you have fitted your trims give them a wipe down with a damp cloth or cleaning wipe to remove any excess adhesive or dust. Recommended tools for fittingCladding trims are an excellent way to cover any untidy edges or gaps. Sometimes when you’re cladding your room your walls may be not be perfectly straight or a little uneven. This makes it difficult to cut the cladding to the correct shape of any opposing walls. The only trims you can fit before the cladding are internal trims, coving trims and some types of external trims. Trims are used to finish off any untidy corners or edges that would have otherwise been exposed once you had finished fitting your cladding, perhaps your ceiling is uneven and you don’t have the necessary time or skill to scribe each individual panel to fit the bumps and dips in 08-the adjoining surface, that is where trims come in. They cover up a multitude of sins without the need to cover with silicone.

There’s no bending and twisting the panels into place around previously fitted trims so it gives you a lot more freedom whilst installing. In most situations, a trim will be needed to cover untidy cuts or gaps around external edges, internal corners, wall to ceiling cladding, or simply to complement the cladding edges. Cladding trims provide a clean look rather than using just silicone which can provide the inconsistent finish. Eurocell cellular foam PVC-U products are easy to work with using normal hand tools for drilling and cutting. It is recommended that the saw should have a fine tooth blade (PVC-U saws are available from Eurocell branches). PVC-U products should not be fitted below 0˚C as the boards may become brittle. When making your calculations ensure you allow for a full trim for each edge run. Jointing trims along the same area can look very untidy. It is better to have a continuous single trim for each edge. Methods of fitting a cladding trim

Cladco Perforated Closures are an essential aspect of any fibre cement cladding project. Simply attach the Closures to the base of your project before installing the first board.
