When trims are needed
Most SPC wall panel installations require trims to create clean edges and waterproof joints.
- Panel ends
- Internal corners
- External corners
- Panel transitions
Using trims gives the installation a professional finish and protects panel edges.
Preparing panels for trims
Panels that fit into trims must have the ClickSeal locking tongue removed.
- Cut off locking profile where trims will be fitted
- Measure carefully
- Test fit before fixing
Removing the locking profile allows the panel to sit fully inside the trim channel.
Installing trims
- Measure trim length carefully
- Cut trim if required
- Apply silicone inside trim channel
- Position trim onto panel edge
- Install panel against wall
Always apply silicone sealant inside the trim channel to create a watertight seal.
Sealing trims
- Apply silicone inside trim channels
- Seal along wall edges
- Seal around shower trays and baths
- Smooth sealant with finishing tool
Good sealing prevents water penetration behind the panels.
