PlastiClad Aluminium Starter Trim AL/ST60 for Weatherboard Systems - 3000mm Length

PlastiClad Aluminium Starter Trim AL/ST60 is the foundational component of any weatherboard installation. It is the very first profile to be installed, ensuring that the first course of cladding planks is set at the correct angle and height. It is fixed horizontally at the lowest point of the installation area—typically above the damp proof course (DPC)—to provide the necessary "kick-out" angle for the first weatherboard plank.

This trim is extruded from high-grade aluminium and is distinguished by the manufacturer’s rigorous finishing process:

• Made from 1050 Aluminium.
• Unlike many standard trims on the market, Plasticlad ensures a high quality and durable finish by applying a polyester powder coating to all its aluminium profiles and fixings. This process provides a tougher, longer-lasting surface than standard paint or anodising, offering exceptional resistance to scratching, fading, and chemical degradation.
• The profile is specifically shaped with an integrated riser that mimics the lap of a board. This ensures that the first plank sits at the exact same angle as all subsequent boards, maintaining a consistent shadow line across the entire façade.
• Available in 28 RAL colours.
• All stock powders are 80 – 85% gloss value also known as full gloss.
