Trim Installation Tips
Like all Trusscore products, trims require no special tools or skills to install. Simply follow these tips and recommendations to ensure a seamless installation process.
Cutting Trims
Tin snips are the safest and easiest tool to use when cutting trims. For a cleaner cut, avoid closing the blades at the end of a stroke.
Fastening Trims
Spacing Trims
It’s essential that you leave a minimum of ¼" of clearance at the ends of all panels and trims to allow for expansion and contraction.
Trusscore trims can be installed with any readily available wood (corrosion-resistant) screws with a minimum head diameter of 3/8", but we recommend different types of screws for different wall assemblies.
Stainless steel screws are only required for highly corrosive or moist environments. Trims should be screwed into the substrate at least once every 24" and least 4" from the end of the panel.
Corner trims are the exception. Large and small Outside Corner trims should be installed with silicone caulk adhesive to avoid visible screws.
