The hidden Cortex Fastening System

By Michelle Froese | September 8, 2023

Palight Trimboard (a part of the Westlake Royal Building Products family) has been rebranded to Skytrim, a sophisticated line of PVC trim options.

The Skytrim Cortex Fastening System are quick and easy to install, and remain hidden when mounting PVC trimboards, sheets, and profiles. 

Skytrim offers a complete line of PVC trim options, including trimboards, sheets, mouldings, and the innovative Cortex Fastening System.

The Skytrim Cortex Fastening System is a fast and easy way to hide fastener heads when installing PVC trimboards, sheets, and profiles. It combines the strength of a face-fastened connection with the style of a hidden fastener.

The screw is specially designed to cut a clean hole through the surface of any Skytrim product so there’s no need to pre-drill. Then, tap in a matching plug and you’re done. The countersink setting tool is included and available in white, clay, and sand in smooth and woodgrain textures.

Skytrim’s range of product options can match the architecture of almost any style of home.

Features of the Cortex Fastening System

  • Countersink setting tool included
  • Available in a smooth and woodgrain finish
  • Choose from:
    – 50 LF, 75 Screws / 100 Plugs / 1 Setting tool
    – 250 LF, 375 Screws / 400 Plugs / 3 Setting tools
    – 750 LF, 1125 Screws / 1200 Plugs / 6 Setting tools

Skytrim’s range of product options can match the architecture of almost any home style.

“We are pleased to introduce the new Skytrim line, a complete PVC line of products that can take the design of any home to the next level,” said Steve Booz, VP, marketing, Westlake Royal. “With Skytrim, designers can achieve the aesthetic they want while enjoying better longevity and lower costs than wood products.”
