Please wait until we confirm that your order is ready before arranging delivery or collection.
How the Fortex Vented Starter Trim Works
The ventilated base allows air to move behind the cladding boards. The colour-matched front cover then clips into place to conceal board ends and produce a tidy finished edge.
The trim can form part of the starting or finishing detail, depending on the installation. Therefore, always follow the Freefoam fitting guide for the selected cladding profile.

Choosing Your Vented Starter Trim Colour
Select the colour that matches your Fortex cladding boards. The ventilated base forms the functional part of the profile, while the visible cover creates the finished colour-matched edge.
Quantity 1 equals one complete 3m two-part trim. Measure each wall section and allow additional material for cuts and separate elevations.
Colours may appear differently on individual screens. Therefore, check a physical Freefoam colour sample when an exact match is important.
