FiberWood Wall Cladding Trim Molding: Smart Finishing for a Flawless Look

When investing in high-quality wall cladding, the finishing touch matters just as much as the cladding itself. That’s where FiberWood Wall Cladding Trim Molding stands out. A smart, modular composite trim system that enhances aesthetics, simplifies installation, and ensures seamless transitions with a premium finish.

Seamless Color Matching with Any Cladding

To match all our FiberWood Wood Composite Cladding collections, the finishing trim comes in 9 distinctive colors: 

  • Black 
  • Grey Rock 
  • Natural Wood 
  • Pure White 
  • Teak 
  • Pearl Grey 
  • Vintage Brown 
  • Walnut 
  • White Oak 

Whatever your exterior style, FiberWood offers a fully integrated finishing solution.

Innovative Two-Part Design

FiberWood’s exterior trim system features a smart two-piece structure: 

  • A rear aluminum base, installed directly onto the wall before the cladding. 
  • A front wood composite trim, matching the cladding’s color, that clips securely into place for a clean, uniform, and discreet finish. 

This modular concept brings both practical and visual benefits to any exterior project.

Key Benefits of FiberWood Finishing Trim

  • Impeccable Finish: The front trim completely covers the cut edges of the cladding boards, creating a smooth and polished look across the entire surface. 
  • Cutting Tolerance: The front piece is designed to cover minor cutting imperfections. Even if the edges aren’t perfectly straight, the result remains professional and consistent. 
  • Easy Maintenance: In the event of damage, only the front trim needs to be replaced, no need to remove the cladding or disturb the structure. 
  • Discreet Aesthetics: The perfect color match between the trim and wall cladding creates subtle transitions. The trim molding blends in instead of standing out, preserving the visual harmony of your facade. 

A Trim for Every Configuration

FiberWood offers six types of wall cladding trim molding to suit any wall configuration, whether indoors or outdoors: 

  • J Starter Trim: 
    The rear base is installed on any flat surface. The front trim can be oriented upward or downward, depending on the cladding direction, or paired with the front of a starter trim. 
  • Single Starter Trim: 
    Typically installed at the base of a new cladding row, above a rainscreen system with wood battens or a rainscreen underlayment. Features a rear lip to block pests while allowing airflow and water drainage. 
  • Double Starter Trim: 
    Used mainly in dual rainscreen systems with double wood battens. 
  • H Transition Trim: 
    Installed vertically, ideal for walls longer than the boards or when switching cladding color or style. 
  • Interior and Exterior Corner Trims: 
    Designed for smooth transitions at 90° wall corners. 

Pro Tips for Clean Installation

  • Test your chalk lines to ensure easy cleanup. Some are designed to resist washing. 
  • Use protective tarps to cover the cladding during cutting, masonry, or cement work. 
  • Regularly wipe down exposed surfaces with soft cloth and warm water to prevent mineral dust buildup. 
  • If possible, install the finishing trim after masonry work to avoid hard-to-remove residue.
