Trims

What are cladding trims and what are they used for?

Trims are used to cover any internal, external or open edges with a decorative finish. This is the most simple method of achieving a nice tidy finish to your cladding. Each trim is available in a style that will compliment any cladding design.

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.

Uneven walls that bow or taper towards one end may prove difficult for even the most avid DIYer to cut to, which may result in gaps. With trims, these edges do not have to be perfect, as whichever trim is needed will cover most gaps in a decorative fashion.

Why should I fit cladding trims?

Quite often we get asked, ‘what is the benefit of using a cladding trim?’

Trims are an excellent way to finish any unsightly gaps or edges that are left after or during the fitting process.

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.

Below are a few examples of where using cladding trims would prove very useful:

• Covering untidy edges from the cutting process.
• Joining uneven or dissimilar type surfaces such as tiles with an H trim.
• Covering external corners around window reveals or boxing’s with an Angle trim.
• Hiding gaps between your wall and ceiling cladding with a Coving trim.
• Any cladding that meets an uneven surface or door frame would benefit from an end cap.
• A half-clad room, bath panel, or where your cladding would meet a skirting could use an end cap to finish off the edge.

Trims are essential when it comes to cladding some rooms, it is very unlikely you will encounter a perfectly square room when it comes to fitting your cladding.
