3m Fibre Cement Wall Cladding Start Profile Trim
Our starter trims are essential for any wall cladding project, providing the support needed to ensure your first row of boards is properly positioned and aligned. They also help maintain consistent spacing and level installation across your fibre cement lap wall cladding. Manufactured from high-quality aluminium, these trims offer excellent resistance to stains, rust, and corrosion, ensuring a durable, long-lasting finish.
Cladco Fibre Cement Lap Starter Trim
The Cladco fibre cement lap wall cladding starter strip is a vital component for achieving a professional cladding finish. It ensures your cladding boards are installed level and evenly spaced from the very first row.
Made from stain, rust, and corrosion-resistant aluminium, the starter strip is angled to support the featherboard effect and provides a secure base for fitting the first board onto structural battens.
Before starting your fibre cement lap wall cladding installation, ensure all necessary parts have been acquired.

Cladco fibre cement lap wall cladding starter strip should be installed at the building base, and above any doors or windows, the starter strip must be installed above the aluminium perforated closure with 38mm stainless steel screws.
The perforated closure is designed to promote airflow while preventing moisture build-up, debris accumulation, and insect ingress behind the fibre cement lap wall cladding boards. Installing the starter strip over the closure ensures both components work effectively together, supporting proper ventilation and a clean, long-lasting finish.
This starter strip is available in a range of eight colours, manufactured to match the colour of your Cladco fibre cement lap wall cladding boards for an attractive and seamless design.
Requiring no staining or painting, these low-maintenance trims simply need to be installed securely by following the installation guide, which you can find here.
