Cladding Trims

Cladding trims for a clean finish

External corners and the ends of cladding runs are the most visible details on a clad wall, and the easiest place to spot a poor finish. Cladding trims cover them. A corner trim wraps the joint where two walls meet, and an end trim closes off a run at a window, door reveal or horizontal line, so the cut ends of composite boards never show their core. Every trim we stock is made in the same colours as the boards it finishes, so the corners and edges blend into the wall.

Types of cladding trim

Most cladding jobs need corner trims for the external angles and end trims or a fascia wherever a run stops. Corner trims are angle profiles that wrap external corners without the visible joint of two unmitred boards meeting; end trims finish runs at openings, abutments and exposed ends. Choose the trim made for your cladding range:

• PuraFix co-extruded corner trim: Cedar, Teak, Ipé, Light Grey, Dark Grey and Ebony Black, made from the same hard wearing composite as PuraShell composite cladding.
• PuraFix composite corner trim: Charcoal, Slate Grey, Silver Ash, Oak and Walnut, built from the same composite family as PuraClassic composite cladding.
• PuraTech composite corner trim: Ebony Black, Dark Grey, Ipé, Teak and Cedar, for the PuraTech cladding range.
• PuraTech composite end trim: Ebony Black, Dark Grey, Light Grey, Ipé, Teak and Cedar, for window openings, door reveals, return corners and sill lines.

Choosing the right cladding trim

Match the range first, then the colour. A trim made for your boards has the right profile and the same colour and surface, so it reads as part of the wall. To work out quantities, measure the height of every external corner for corner trims, and the length of every window, door and horizontal run end for end trims, then add a piece for cuts. Choose the trim length on the product page; longer trims mean fewer joins up a tall corner. The calculator on each cladding board page works out the boards, and the cart adds the fixings.

Fitting cladding trims

• End trims first: fix the end trim with stainless fixings into pre drilled pilot holes through its fixing flange, then run the cladding boards into it.
• Boards next: clad the wall up to each corner.
• Corner trims last: fix them over the external corners with stainless fixings into pilot holes.

Composite trims need no painting or oiling. Wash them along with the boards from time to time and they keep the same colour as the rest of the wall.
