Fortex Cladding Starter Trim provides a straight and secure starting edge for compatible Fortex exterior cladding boards. The FCF2123 profile comes in a 3m White length and sits behind the first row of cladding.
Special-order product – we do not normally hold this item in stock. The usual lead time is approximately 1–2 weeks.
Delivery & Collection
Due to the 3m length, this product is available for local North East delivery or collection from our Hexham trade counter only.
Please wait until we confirm that your order is ready before arranging collection or local delivery.
Standard Fortex Cladding Starter Trim
The trim fixes to the supporting battens at the base of the installation. The lower edge of the first cladding board then fits into the starter profile.
Therefore, it helps align the first row and creates a clean starting point. The White finish remains hidden behind the installed boards, so it can be used with any compatible cladding colour.
Please note: This is a standard non-vented starter trim. It does not replace the ventilation required behind the cladding. Always include the correct ventilated starter and closer details required by the Freefoam installation guidance.
