Cladding end trim.
Measure each panel end requiring trim and list separate joint pieces.
Read the right quantitative data
Usable stock lengths and explicitly supplied trim allowances.
Check this ordering assumption
Panel area does not determine the number or length of end trims.
Profile compatibility and fixing details are supplied separately.
A worked quantity method
This illustrative set of supplied inputs demonstrates Cladding Panel End Trim and Joint Order Calculator. Replace the example measurements and product figures with your own before ordering.
| Supplied input | Metric display | US display |
|---|---|---|
| Selected panel stock length | 3 m | 9.84 ft |
| Specified trim at each panel end | 0.1 m | 0.33 ft |
| Specified gap between panels | 0 mm | 0 in |
| Panel course 1: Measured run length | 5.7 m | 18.7 ft |
| Panel course 1: Identical runs | 2 | 2 |
Panels after supplied end trims: 6 panels
- Usable length per panel
- 2.8 m
- Total end-trim loss
- 1.2 m
- Measured run lengths
- 11.4 m
Each course is rounded separately. Gaps count only between panels; offcuts are not reused. This arithmetic does not choose joint or trim dimensions.
