Trim Coil
coil can be field formed to provide low-maintenance coverings for exterior
trim surfaces such as window and door casings, window sills, drip caps,
fascias, porch posts, louvers, flashings, etc.
Trim coil is available in 12 most popular James Hardie siding & trim colors
with ColorPlus® technology and is available in a 24" x 50' roll, other sizes
available upon request. Each Trim coil matches two ColorPlus® colors.
- Allow approximately 1/16” space between the ends of shapes and fixed
objects, such as the walls of inside corners.
- Nail shapes into place using painted aluminum or stainless steel trim
nails. Drill oversized nail holes and do not nail too tightly. Nails should
penetrate the wood a minimum of 3/4.”
- Never face nail fascia shapes.
Bending a doubled-over hem on the edges of shapes will increase their
strength and help assure wave-free edges.
Be sure that any joints are overlapped in the proper direction and by a
sufficient amount to shed water.
Do not install coated aluminum trim coil in locations subject to standing
water for sustained periods of time.
Do not place aluminum shapes in corrosive environments or in direct contact with corrosive materials.
BENDING TRIM COIL
Trim Coil can be used to make custom aluminum trim shapes using a
portable brake. Brakes are available in lengths up to 12 feet. Follow the
brake manufacturer’s instructions for using the brake.
CUTTING TRIM COIL
Trim Coil can be cut with duckbill tin snips or aviation shears for short or
curved cuts. For longer straight cuts, it is easiest to use a sharp heavy-duty
utility knife to score the coil, then bend the coil back and forth on the score
line until it breaks. If you are using a portable brake, position the coil in the
brake and clamp it down so that the brake’s jaws align with where the cut
is to be made. Score the coil along the straight edge of the brake jaw with
the utility knife, then bend the coil back and forth on the score line until the
coil breaks.
