Buying & Installation Guide

How to fit Type R shadow gap trim

1 · Choose your size

Pick the reveal width: R6-R25 (6-25mm reveal). Need bigger than 25mm? Use Type ST. For 15mm board use Type RD.

2 · Set out

Mark the line of the reveal where the drylining meets the suspended ceiling, door frame, skirting or window frame.

3 · Fix the trim

Fix the trim's return leg to the metal channel/framing at the abutment, keeping it straight and level.

4 · Board

Fit the 12.5mm plasterboard so its edge is captured by the trim, and fix through the pre-punched diagonal slots in the plastering fin with standard drywall screws through the board.

5 · Finish

Tape and joint over the plastering fin, skim and decorate. Curved versions can be factory made on request.
