Base Trim

Base trim is installed at the bottom of wall panels, where the panel meets the foundation or slab. Without base trim, exposed panel edges are vulnerable to moisture damage, rust, and pest entry. Indaco Metals fabricates base trim to match your wall system and color, ensuring both protection and a clean, professional appearance.

This trim also helps extend the life of your panels by keeping moisture away from cut edges, making it a key finishing detail in agricultural barns, workshops, commercial buildings, and residential projects.
