What is the best way to cut Fibretrims?
We are just about to start a new fibreglass roofing project, first time for me but my son said he’s done a gutter before in Fibreglass. I’ve been looking through your website and found the trims but want to know what's the best method for cutting.

Take extra care and use gloves when handling as the rough edges of the trim can be sharp. One side has been created with a high adhesion matt finish, which you must always bond to.
When cutting trims down to size always make sure that you are wearing a safety mask and never breathe in any of the dust. Recommended tools for cutting the trims are a hack saw, small angle grinder or multi-tool. Another useful tool to cut trims is tin snips, these take much longer to cut than the others but they reduce the amount of dust being generated.
