Premium Aluminium Starter Track (2.5m)
When installing EWI systems, a Premium Aluminium Starter Track is essential. Positioned just above the DPC layer at the wall's base, this track provides a sturdy and protective foundation for insulation boards. The Premium Aluminium Starter Track is constructed from robust aluminium and can endure harsh weather conditions like intense temperatures, torrential rain, and powerful winds. Not only does it bear the insulation's weight, but it also remains unaffected by external factors. Furthermore, aluminium's inherent resistance to corrosion ensures the track won't rust or degrade over time. Given its placement at the wall's base, this resistance is crucial due to potential exposure to moisture and corrosive materials. Additionally, its lightweight nature ensures a swift and straightforward installation process. Please note that this starter track does not come with any pre-installed mesh. We highly recommend buying this Starter Track with a Clip-on Profile, which clips onto the front edge and can then be meshed into the basecoat layer. The width of the starter track should match the thickness of your chosen insulation board.Technical Specifications

wHAT A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. thfey call this premium but it feles flimsey the worst thing tho is no pre drilled holes seriously? not one fixng point alon the whole 2.5 metres of ali. we gotta fix at 300mm centers according to your own instructions which means I uhave to get the tape out and mark up every single hle drill pilot holes then fix it. that's hours of lost labour for every wall because you cheaped out. I'm paying nearly ten quid for raw aluminium that needs fettleing before it can even go up. dont buy this if your on a tight job. absolutely rubbish.

Solid piece of engineering. The 0.8mm thickness is proper robust—night and day better than the thin track everyone else sells. Will hold the insulation boards perfectly. Got the clip-on nose as recommended; makes the edge tidy. Fast delivery. Chuffed with this purchase.

absolute GARBAGE track.
£16! it felt weak and bent straight off. Not robust at all mate. Soon as we got light rain, it tarnished INSTANTLY. Useless. Cost me a day fixing up the fitment; the clip-on profile wouldnt bloody secure properly either. Total waste of time and money.

decent alu thickness fit was quick. But 2.5m is a faff needed too many cuts. Charging for that mesh clip separately is bit naff.

It's just ok had to compromise on the width I wanted for my 100mm board so not an ideal fit. Big hassle as the fixings weren't included and buying the clip-on profile separate felt a con. Does the job but only 3 stars.

Got the required width, spot on match for the insulation boards. The aluminium is robust, sound piece of kit, handles the weight no problem; a vast improvement on plastic. Took longer to install than expected though—it’s fiddly to mesh into the basecoat and you must buy the clip-on drip edge and fixings separately, which bumps up the overall price point. "Premium" quality on function, maybe not quite on finish. Works well once it’s bedded in, glad it won't rust.

Decent enough track. Much better gauge than cheaper rivals. Matched the board perfectly. Lighter than steel install was quick. Postage felt steep and buying fixings separately is a proper faff on site. Looks solid.
