Description
This perforated closure is essential for your Fibre Cement Wall Cladding project. These closures are manufactured using corrosion-resistant, durable aluminium material that offers superior strength and long-lasting protection.
Simply attach the closures to the base of the battens before installing the first cladding board. Perforated closures should also be fixed above any windows and doors where fibre cement wall cladding will be fitted.
The closures are designed to be installed at the base of the project. The ventilation gaps within the closure, paired with the 38mm space between the battens and the boards, ensure your building has adequate airflow, preventing any moisture build-up.
Important Reccomendations
Please note, it is recommended to leave a gap of 10mm between the perforated closure and the base of the cladding installation to ensure a necessary gap between the bottom of the first board and the ground for airflow.
You will also need to ensure the perforated closure is perfectly level before fixing to the wall, as the fibre cement starter strip will be fixed to the perforated closure. If your closure is not fitted parallel, you may be at risk of having an unlevel installation.
Installation:
At the base of the battens, secure the perforated closure using 38mm Screws. Fix the corner trims to the battens, ensuring the trim overlaps the batten on either side by 10mm.
Fix the trim to the batten using 38mm screws, at regular intervals until the trim is secure. Screw the start trim to the batten, as per the diagram, only at the top of the trim and through both the batten and the perforated closure at the base. Ensure the lip of the start trim is just below the base of the batten. Make sure there is a 10mm clearance between the base of the trim and the base of the wall.

Help with my new garage roof!
Trade Warehouse could not have been more helpful. They very patiently guided a roofing newbie through all of the stuff I would need to do the job and provided helpful tips along the way. It's rare to find a company offering such a fantastic level of customer service as standard. I would highly recommend them and will certainly use them again.

Garden Storage
My contractor (Charlie Keep) recommended you to me so I could order the materials online for delivery direct to my home. These were for a project to construct a Garden Storage Area. The materials were perfect and the whole process was simple and slick with materials delivered on time and very well packaged. Charlie has since completed the project & I am very happy with the outcome.

Right product, right price, right delivery.
Right product, right price, right delivery. Sure, it was only one length of cast iron guttering but they took the order seriously, packed it well and kept me updated on delivery. And when I opened the very good packaging I found it was exactly what I had wanted. How can you do better!!
