Steel Drip Trim 2000mm for Bison Batten Cladding (Ash Grey colour) is a powder coated steel drip flashing profile used above the window and door reveals to carry water away from the building.

Bison Cladding Steel Drip Trims should be cut to the width of the window or door and fitted to the joists above prior to the composite slat cladding being installed.

This hard-wearing colour matched powder coat finish system trim can also be used at the bottom of cladding to create a drip edge.

For long runs of Drip Trims (usually above patio type doors) you can loosely put the trims together.

There is very minimal thermal movement with steel and so there is no need to leave a gap.

To install Batten cladding trims use screw fixings at 300mm centres to fix the drip trim.

To cut the drip trim use either a hack saw or a circular saw with a steel cutting blade.

Bison Composite Batten Cladding Installation Guide:

 · As for any external cladding system it is recommended that you check with the planning office within your local council to ensure whether you need to submit a planning application.

 · Note that Composite Batten Cladding is a class B fire rating and so not suitable for external cladding above the height of 18m on residential buildings.

 · The diagrams and instructions outlined in this guide are for illustration purposes only and are not meant or implied to replace a licensed professional.

 · When dealing with any type of construction project, it is necessary to wear appropriate safety equipment to reduce risk of severe injury.

 · When handling, cutting, and installing, the following safety equipment is recommended at the very least: gloves, a respiratory protection mask, long sleeves, long trousers, and safety glasses.

 · Standard woodworking tools may be used.

 · It is recommended that all circular saw blades have carbide tips and that all fixings are stainless steel.

 · Bison Composite Batten Cladding should be stored on a flat surface either fully supported or on timber bearers at maximum 400mm spacing.

 · Careful layout planning and preparation is required before starting installation to ensure the best possible cladding effect of your project.

 · Consideration for how the boards will finish at corners, window & door reveals can ensure a better finish, reduce wastage, reduce rip cuts or additional joints.

 · We recommend drawing out a site plan of your proposed project to minimize errors.

 · Bison Cladding products are NOT intended for use as columns, support posts, beams, joist stringers or other primary load-bearing members.

 · WPC products must be supported by a code-compliant substructure.

 · While WPC products are great for retrofits, they CANNOT be installed on existing cladding boards.

 · Bison Cladding products CANNOT be directly installed onto close boarding like OSB or MDF.

 · It must be installed onto a substructure, so there is adequate and unobstructed air flow under the cladding to prevent excessive water absorption.

 · A minimum of 25mm (1 inch) of continuous net free area under the cladding surface is required for adequate ventilation on all wall cladding, so air can circulate between adjacent members to promote drainage and drying.
