We’ll talk more about roof trim in an upcoming article, for now, just note that trim offers a chance to create a unifying appearance where roof meets walls. Whether it’s a unique roof layout or a specific design need, custom sizing ensures that the trim not only fits perfectly but also complements the overall design of the building.

Another benefit of metal trim is its ability to protect the building from “environmental elements”, more commonly referred to as “the weather”. Trim pieces reduce the likelihood of leaks and water damage by adding an additional layer of sealing to areas where the metal panels are joined. This protection is important for the longevity of the building, as well as the roof above it. In regions with heavy rainfall or snow, the importance of including trim cannot be overstated.

Trim is available for doors (door post and door edge trim), windows (drip caps), gutters, eaves and endwall flashing. Decorative applications include wainscot and soffit trim offerings. All of these options can serve the dual purposes of serving both visual and protective needs on any structure.
