How to Choose the Right PVC or Aluminium Trims for Your Wall Panels

PVC trims are the finishing touch that takes your wall panel installation from good to great. Not only do they give your panels a polished, seamless look, but they also help protect edges, corners, and joints for a long-lasting finish. 

Our aluminium trims are a premium touch which look fantastic and have all the benefits of PVC trims.  

With so many trim options available, choosing the right ones might feel overwhelming—but don’t worry! This guide will walk you through everything you need to know. 

Why Do You Need PVC Trims? 

PVC trims serve both practical and decorative purposes. They:
✔ Create a professional finish by covering exposed panel edges.
✔ Provide protection against moisture and wear.
✔ Help with installation by securing panels neatly in place.
✔ Enhance aesthetics by giving your walls a sleek, cohesive look. 

Now, let’s explore the different types of trims and where to use them. 

Types of PVC & Aluminium Trims & Their Uses 

End Cap Trim (J-Trim)  

Best for: Finishing exposed edges, though they are generally only needed if finishing partway through a wall or on top of shower panels. 

• Use this trim to neatly cap off the open edges of your panels, such as at doorways, windows, or the ends of a feature wall. 

• Simply slot the panel into the trim for a clean, professional look. 

Internal Corner Trim 

Best for: Neatly joining panels in corners 

• This trim fits perfectly into the internal corners of a room, helping panels meet at a right angle without gaps. 

External Corner Trim 

Best for: Protecting outward-facing corners 

• If your panels meet at an external corner (e.g., a column or a protruding wall edge), these trim covers and protects the join while maintaining a sleek look. 

• Ideal for high-traffic areas where corners are more prone to knocks and scuffs. 

PVC Skirting Board 

Best for: Protecting the base of your walls, easy to clean and no painting! This trim sits along the bottom of your panels to create a neat finish. 

• A practical choice for bathrooms and kitchens! 

How to Choose the Right Trims for Your Project 

1. Consider Your Panel Layout – Identify where you need trims based on where panels start, end, and join. 
2. Match the Style – Choose trims that complement your panel design for a sleek, cohesive look. 
3. Measure Before Ordering – Double-check your panel measurements to ensure you order the right trim lengths.
