Frequently Asked Questions

This is a general guide only and may not address your specific site conditions. If you are not experienced with this type of work, hire a qualified contractor.

What width Trim Coil do I need for standard Fascia Boards?

Most residential Fascia Boards are 6-8 inches tall, so 12" Trim Coil provides adequate wrap-around coverage with proper overlap. Measure your Fascia height and add 4-6 inches for full coverage.

Can I install Trim Coil over existing painted wood trim?

Yes, Trim Coil can be installed over sound existing trim. Clean thoroughly and ensure the surface is dry and well-adhered. Prime any exposed wood areas before installation for best results.

How do I cut Trim Coil without damaging the finish?

Use sharp tin snips or a brake shear for cleanest cuts. Support both sides when cutting to prevent bending. For long straight cuts, a circular saw with fine-tooth blade works well with proper support.

What's the difference between 0.019" and heavier gauge Trim Coil?

Our standard 0.019" gauge provides excellent workability for hand forming while remaining lightweight and cost-effective. Heavier gauges are harder to bend but offer more rigidity for structural applications or high-wind areas.

Can Trim Coil be painted if I want to change colors later?

While possible, the factory finish is designed to last decades without painting. If repainting is needed, clean thoroughly, lightly sand for adhesion, and use high-quality exterior paint designed for metal surfaces.
