163mm Profigips Aluminium Starter Trim - Plinth Profile - 2.5m length

163mm Profigips Aluminium Starter Trim - Plinth Profile is a durable, corrosion‑resistant base profile designed for use in external thermal‑insulation composite systems (ETICS). Installed at the bottom edge of the façade insulation, it provides a precise, level starting point for EPS or mineral‑wool boards and ensures a clean, stable transition between the plinth area and the main façade.

Manufactured from high‑grade aluminium, the starter trim offers excellent dimensional stability and long‑term resistance to weathering. Its rigid construction prevents deformation, while the integrated drip edge helps direct water away from the façade, reducing the risk of staining and moisture ingress. The perforated fixing flange allows secure anchoring to the substrate and ensures reliable bonding with reinforcing layers.

This profile is essential for achieving a straight, durable and visually consistent façade base, supporting correct installation of insulation boards and protecting the lower edge of the system from mechanical damage.

Insulation thickness: 160mm

CHARACTERISTICS

• High‑grade aluminium - lightweight, corrosion‑resistant and dimensionally stable.
• Precise façade alignment - provides a straight, level base for insulation boards.
• Integrated drip edge - directs water away from the façade to prevent staining.
• Perforated fixing flange - ensures secure mechanical anchoring and strong adhesion.
• Impact protection - reinforces the vulnerable lower edge of the façade.
• Suitable for EPS and mineral wool - compatible with standard ETICS insulation materials.
• Easy installation - can be fixed quickly with façade dowels or screws.

APPLICATION

• ETICS façade systems - EPS and mineral‑wool insulation.
• Plinth and base zones - protects the lower façade edge.
• New‑build and renovation projects
• Moisture‑exposed areas - where controlled water drainage is essential.
