Trim coil is used in many applications, but it is mainly applied where wood is exposed to the elements. Wood in these locations normally requires frequent painting to maintain its integrity, so the aluminum is applied as a protective layer.

Roof Flashing and Drip Edge
When installing roof shingles, there are areas where you can utilize aluminum trim coil to add protection and beauty:

Sidewall Flashing
Flashing is required wherever the shingles or roof tiles meet a perpendicular wall to ensure water doesn’t penetrate the roof decking below. Instead of using unfinished, precut step flashing, trim coil can be purchased in matching or contrasting colors with the roof shingles to form an almost invisible line of step flashing. This small effort can distinguish you from the crowd of everyday roofing contractors.

Drip Edge
Drip edge is used to protect the edge of the roof deck from moisture penetration and to keep the shingles flat as they extend past the decking. This product is easily sourced at any local hardware store, but your choices are usually limited to white, black or brown.

Our Color Select tool can be used for finding colors that match siding manufacturers. If you know the brand and color of your siding, the Color Select tool can be used to find matching trim coil, as well.

Fascia
When you discuss trim coil with most installers, using it for fascia typically comes to mind — and for good reason. Fascia extends around the entire perimeter of the home and up the rake boards, trimming the roof’s edge. Trim coil is a good way to have a clean finish to a home’s exterior while providing a layer of protection against weather conditions. When you use our trim coil, you’re getting high-quality material that can be cut to an exact length and will fit your project’s aesthetic.

However, an even better solution here than trim coil is pre-bent fascia. Pre-bent fascia is designed to eliminate water infiltration while adding a finished look to the home. In addition, pre-bent fascia makes the job easier for installers. Once the fascia is bent to the shape and size needed for the project, it is ready to be installed.

Frieze Boards
Frieze boards are another part of a home often made from wood that can benefit from the maintenance-free protection of aluminum trim coil. The frieze board is the piece of trim that goes between the top of the siding and the soffit. Our custom-cut trim coil solutions ensure you get the perfect fit the first time, eliminating unhappy clients and customer callbacks.

Post Wraps
Outside columns or posts are other parts of the home that are ideal candidates for aluminum trim coil. Bending the trim coil to cover these structural members is efficient and saves time, and it eliminates another painting project for you and your customer.

Window and Door Trim
Siding contractors and replacement window companies are often tasked with wrapping the brick mold around doors and windows with a trim coil. If your customer has upgraded their home with no-maintenance vinyl windows, they are trying to eliminate as much painting as possible. Our trim coil provides years of maintenance-free service, so homeowners can rest easy knowing that their future isn’t full of cleaning and material upkeep.
