EasyTrim Reveals® trim systems have many water-management features built into their profiles; however, it has been proven that for most installations a rainscreen is not always necessary when installed with EasyTrim® Reveals systems. For the requirements of many local and national building codes, however, EasyTrim® Reveals systems do not qualify as a full rainscreen.

Typically, the height limit has more to do with the chosen siding type than the EasyTrim Reveals® trim itself. EasyTrim Reveals® trim profiles have been designed to meet and/or exceed most common cladding options. Please refer to your siding manufacturer’s technical documents for their maximum height limits.

You can use self-taping metal screws.

You can use your regular hot-dipped galvanized siding nails fired through a pneumatic nail gun.

We recommend using a high-quality, 100% acrylic latex paint when painting primed EasyTrim Reveals® trim profiles on site. This is the same paint recommended by the fiber cement manufacturers for use when painting primed fiber cement products; therefore, both primed fiber cement and primed EasyTrim Reveals® are painted with the same paint formulation when painted on site. Various paint manufacturers offer high-quality, 100% acrylic latex paint.

All our exterior aluminum products have finishes that are resistant to pitting, keeping your oceanfront property beautiful for years to come!

Pitting is an aesthetic defect that happens when untreated aluminum exposure to sea salt spray. For aluminum, pitting is the most common type of corrosion. Pitting is primarily an aesthetic problem that, practically speaking, never affects strength. Pitting is more severe on untreated aluminum. Surface treatment (anodising, painting, or other coating methods) counteracts pitting. Pitting will only occur in the presence of an electrolyte (either water or moisture) containing dissolved salts–usually chlorides. The corrosion generally shows itself as extremely small pits that, in the open air, reach a maximum penetration of a minor fraction of the metal’s thickness.
