2-Piece Starter (J-Trim 9321) for Vertigo 5010 Cladding

The Geolam 2-Piece Starter (J-Trim 9321) is a finishing trim component designed for use with Vertigo 5010 cladding and soffit installations. The two-part system anchors to the wall or substrate, allowing Vertigo boards to terminate cleanly at perimeter edges while concealing exposed fasteners for a finished appearance. Part A is fastened to the wall first, establishing a clean starting line for the cladding run, while Part B clips into place afterward to hide the screw heads along the board’s leading edge. The result is a tidy, professional transition wherever Vertigo cladding meets a window, door, soffit return, or other perimeter condition. Available in all four standard Vertigo colors (Teak, Moleskin, Rosewood, and Ebony), the J-Trim installs quickly with color-matched metal clips placed every 16″ along its length, requiring no special tools beyond a screwdriver and rubber mallet.
