What is a uPVC shiplap cladding starter trim used for?

A uPVC shiplap cladding starter trim is installed at the base of your cladding area to support and align the first panel. It ensures a straight, level starting point and a professional finish for the entire installation.

Is the Eurocell starter trim compatible with all shiplap cladding panels?

Yes. The Eurocell starter trim is fully compatible with Eurocell 100mm and 150mm shiplap cladding boards, providing a secure fit and consistent alignment.

Can the uPVC starter trim be used outdoors?

Yes. It’s made from durable, weather-resistant uPVC that won’t rot, warp or discolour. Ideal for sheds, garages, and garden buildings.

How long is each starter trim?

Each starter trim is 5 metres in length, designed to match standard Eurocell cladding board sizes for full wall coverage.

Do I need special tools to fit the starter trim?

No. The trim can be fixed using standard screws or nails into treated battens. Simply ensure the trim is level before locking the first cladding panel into place.
