Nichiha USA introduces the industry’s first in-house two-piece metal trim system, perfectly color matched to the broadest range of fiber cement textures and colors for a seamless, flawless finish with single-source fulfillment. The simplified, snap-fit installation design eliminates the need for skilled detailing and ensures perfect alignment—no caulk, no gaps, no visible fasteners—done in a snap.
“This is a game-changer for commercial and residential building applications,” said Anthony Pucci, Director of Channel Sales for Nichiha USA. “We know that sealant-free systems are preferred by both architects and installers across a range of looks and surfaces. Our new two-piece solution goes a step further to conceal structural movement in a way that wasn’t possible before, revolutionized in a snap.”
KEY FEATURES:
- Single Source Solution: Customers are no longer forced to secure cladding, trim, and accessories from multiple companies. Order complete systems with perfectly matched components together.
- Designed for faster installation: Nichiha’s two-piece trim makes fastening and positioning as easy as a snap for installers—no specialized labor needed.
- Employs a new Termination Cap: Unique to Nichiha, the termination cap ensures clean lines while sealing the edges against water and weather damage.
- Movement in the structure remains hidden: Gaps or channels in the trim design will absorb any small shifts in the siding, cladding, or trim, maintaining the desired aesthetic.
- Perfect for varied or interrupted layouts: A staged installation (base first, face later) enables better handling in tight spots, more forgiveness for slight mismeasuring, and a cleaner finished look.
- Sealant-free vertical control joints: The two-piece design eliminates caulking along control joints, allowing for tighter cuts, hidden chatter, and a cleaner finished profile.
- Universal customization: This two-piece trim solution complements Nichiha’s extensive commercial and residential product offerings, with 100% color matching without compromise.
Two-piece trim profiles have been thoughtfully designed and thoroughly tested to be used with Nichiha’s Architectural Wall Panel (AWP) system. Mimicking the look of materials like wood, concrete, and brick, Nichiha’s lightweight fiber cement panels are easily installed on a hidden track system for visually stunning, high-performance spaces that endure.
