EasyTrim Reveals® is compatible with every major fiber cement manufacturer's panel and lap plank siding systems, including Allura, James Hardie, and Nichiha.

All profiles are extruded from 6063-T6 aluminum alloy at 15 gauge (1.4 mm) wall thickness; standard length is 10' (3.05 m) per piece.
- 3
Available finishes: Clear Anodized, Black Anodized, Factory Primed (field-paint within manufacturer's specified window), and ColorMatch® custom colour to match any painted siding finish.
- 4
Fasten trim profiles to structural framing through slots at maximum 16" (406 mm) on centre using corrosion-resistant screws or nails; do not drive fasteners rigid — leave 1/32" (1 mm) for thermal expansion.
- 5
EZ.Slope® base profiles include an integrated 8° slope to direct water away from the wall; install with slope angled toward exterior.
- 6
All profiles include patented water-management features (drainage channels, weep slots, or positive laps) — orient pieces per the installation guide to ensure water drains outward.
- 7
Lap/overlap profile joints by a minimum of 1" (25 mm); stagger vertical joints a minimum of 2 courses from adjacent profile joints.
- 8
Caulk all profile-to-window and profile-to-door interfaces with a siliconised acrylic or neutral-cure silicone rated for exterior aluminum and fiber cement contact.
- 9
Install a continuous self-adhering flashing membrane behind all corner and base trim profiles before installing fiber cement panels.
- 10
Do not use acid-based sealants on aluminum; use pH-neutral products only to prevent surface oxidation under the anodize coating.
- 11
Multi-Angle profiles (EZ18 and equivalents) pivot between approximately 45° and 135°; set to the required angle and tighten the pivot fastener before fastening to the wall.
- 12
ColorMatch® finish lead time is typically 4–6 weeks; order trim and siding simultaneously to ensure colour consistency across the project.
- 13
For Allura 7/16" panels use EZ62 outside corner; for 1" lap planks use EZ84 outside corner — standard 5/16" profiles will not fully capture thicker materials.
- 14
Store profiles flat and off the ground; do not store in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent finish degradation before installation.
