Traditionally material for architraves and skirting boards is supplied to site as 5.4m lengths. Each piece of skirting board or architrave is then measured, cut-to-length and scribed/mitred on site. A scribe completed manually with a coping saw on site takes between 5-8 minutes to complete. Fast Trim is a revolutionary NEW system where the skirting is pre-scribed and cut to length (slightly over length) and architraves are pre-mitred as well as cut-to-length in our manufacturing facility using state-of-the-art CNC machinery. Each piece has a unique coded label for where it is located in the project which corresponds with the project floor plan. This saves significant time on site and is an exact fit for a quality finish.

Fast Trim really provides the time saving during new home builds and larger commercial projects. You would not use Fast Trim for a renovation.
