Low Profile Aluminum Outside Corner Special Offer Lot

Rainscreen wall assemblies are now considered an industry standard best practice for all siding types—not only ours. Modern wall assemblies with structural sheathing and moisture barriers are not permeable. Without a screen wall assembly, they can trap moisture—leading to issues like black mold and wood rot. Therefore, it is crucial to have a wall assembly that weeps immediately and dries out quickly.

No, it is not mandatory to use our trims with your lumber package—however, we do recommend them for several reasons. Nakamoto Forestry aluminum trims are designed to simplify your project by ensuring a polished appearance, efficient installation, and optimal durability. If you choose not to purchase our accessory products, you can trim out corners and windows as you would any other wood siding. Most projects will need head or other flashing that is custom bent locally. 

While our aluminum trims serve a cosmetic function, it’s important to note that they are not a substitute for a comprehensive moisture management system. All accessories must meet our installation parameters as well as local code requirements. Ensure that exteriors are properly sealed and flashed to prevent moisture intrusion and install in a shingle fashion for effective management. 

Always consult with a design professional to review project installation parameters relative to your local building code and regional best practices for moisture and water vapor management.

Most builders in the EU market use screws, while nails are the dominant choice in Japan. The North American market also mostly leans towards nails—but several considerations may influence that decision. For example, some passive home projects require screws to prevent penetration of the WRB.

Be aware that trim head screws often have heads designed for thick decking, not thin siding. These should be driven with the shoulder tight to the siding, not with the head driven flush to the siding.
