How are Trimlight permanent lights installed on my home?
Trimlight permanent lights are professionally installed along the roofline using a patented aluminum channel designed to blend with the home or building. The channel helps conceal the wiring, holds the lights securely in place, and creates a clean appearance that remains subtle during the day.
Because rooflines and exterior construction vary, Trimlight dealers use several installation methods rather than relying on one standard placement for every property. The most common options include standard residential channel installation, rafter board installation, flush board installation, fascia board installation, commercial drip installation, and commercial snap-in installation.
Each method places the channel in a location suited to the available mounting surface and the overall design of the structure. Your authorized Trimlight dealer will evaluate the shape of the roofline, the exterior materials, the areas you want illuminated, and the appearance you want to achieve.
The dealer can then recommend the channel style and placement that will create the cleanest finished look. Trimlight installations are designed to avoid unnecessary changes to gutters, shingles, fascia, and drip edges whenever the construction of the property allows.
Channel colors are selected to complement the building so the system looks like part of the architecture instead of an added strand of lights. Trimlight offers residential and commercial channel options, and a customized placement may be recommended when a home or business has unusual roof angles, exposed rafters, limited mounting surfaces, or other architectural details.
The videos below show several of the most common installation styles used by Trimlight dealers. Review each example to see how the channel may be positioned on different residential rooflines and commercial exteriors.
Your final installation may look different from the examples because the dealer will tailor the system to your specific property. During your estimate, ask the dealer to explain the proposed channel location before installation begins.
