3m Fibre Cement Wall Cladding Symmetric External Corner Trim

Why Use a Symmetric External Corner Trim?

If you're looking for a clean, finished edge for the external corners of your building, these beautiful Symmetric Aluminium Fibre Cement Cladding Trims are the perfect solution. These trims not only provide a polished look, but also protect the boards and building corners from damage.

To install the trims, you need to fit them to the battens on either side of the corner using 38mm screws made of fibre cement. Once the trims are securely in place, you can easily fix the cladding boards to the flat edges of the external corner trim by screwing the boards through the trim and into the batten below. This method ensures a secure fit and a seamless finish.

• Length: 3m
• Thickness: 1mm
• Measurements: 34mm x 26mm x 31mm x 31mm x 26mm x 34mm
• Weight per Trim (approx.): 1.53kg

What are the different fibre cement trims?

Symmetrical Corner Trims are for the main corners of a building, used if the cladding is being fitted around the building where two faces meet. If you are not cladding both faces, then you would use a connection/ end profile to finish the edge instead.

Asymmetrical Corner Trims are for recess’, such as doors and windows if you are cladding into the recess. Then you would need a connection/end profile at the back of the recess to complete the finish. If you are not cladding the into the recess’ then using an asymmetrical corner trim may still be beneficial as it will hide the batten the fibre cement is sitting on. Unless you would like to use an end profile and finish the showing batten by other means.

Internal corners are used where the cladding meets on an internal edge, where both sides are being cladded. If the cladding were to finish at this edge, you would use the connection/end profile instead.

Connection/ End profiles are used where you finish the edge of the cladding. This could be around windows doors, or ends of a wall where the cladding stops and does not continue around any walls or recess’.

Starter Trims are used above windows and doors and along the bottom of a wall to start the cladding off and support the bottom board so that it is not overhanging any area unsupported.

Perforated Closures are used in conjunction with the starter trims, but can also be used along the top of the wall to allow airflow throughout.
