Aluminum Trim Systems
In recent years the use of Allura Fiber Cement Siding in conjunction with third-party
reveal trim systems (such as Easytrim Reveals) has been increasing, especially in light
commercial construction. These trim systems provide a unique aesthetic appearance to
projects, providing clean, visually attractive surfaces with crisp horizontal and vertical
panel transitions.
Follow all the instructions for the third-party reveal system, as long as these instructions
do not reduce the performance of Allura Fiber Cement Siding. Also, ensure that the
installation of the reveal system does not in any way negatively affect the performance
of the Allura Fiber Cement Siding, as this may void the product warranty.
