Patented Perimeter Sealing Tape
“Professional Perimeter Protection for Every Floor.”
TrimMax® Pro Series — Perimeter Sealing Tape
TrimMax® Pro Series is a patented, professional-grade perimeter sealing tape designed to protect both floating and glue-down floors by sealing the expansion gap. It creates a continuous barrier that helps protect the floor, wall, and substrate from water, cleaning chemicals, detergents, and urine, preventing moisture intrusion, staining, swelling, and long-term damage.
By sealing perimeter edges at walls, doorways, and fixed vertical surfaces, TrimMax® Pro Series also helps reduce air infiltration around doors and windows, improving indoor comfort and energy efficiency.
Engineered for commercial and residential environments, TrimMax® Pro Series enhances floor performance, extends service life, and reduces costly callbacks and warranty claims.
Why Choose TrimMax®

TrimMax® Pro Series delivers professional-grade perimeter protection that traditional sealants, caulks, and tapes cannot match.

TrimMax® Pro Series — How does it work?
Surface Preparation:
Ensure both wall and floor edges are clean, dry, and free of dust, paint overspray, or
debris. Walls must be painted or primed to ensure proper adhesion.
Tools & Materials:
-
TrimMax Pro Series perimeter tape
-
Utility knife or shears
-
J-roller or hand roller
-
Tape measure and pencil
-
Clean cloth or shop vac
-
Baseboard or quarter round and fasteners (optional)
* Installation Notes:
-
Apply at temperatures between 50–95°F (10–35°C).
-
Do not install on damp or dusty surfaces.
-
For long runs, install in continuous lengths without stretching.
-
Overlap at corners or transitions to maintain a full perimeter seal.
Step 1 — Ensure Drywall Is Painted or Primed
Before installation, confirm the drywall is painted or primed and the subfloor or underlayment (e.g., OSB) is clean, dry, and free from debris or construction dust. Do not apply TrimMax Pro Series directly to raw or unsealed drywall. Vacuum or wipe the perimeter area to remove fine dust before taping.
Step 2 — Install Flooring with Expansion Gap
Lay the flooring planks or tiles, maintaining a consistent 3/16" (≈ 5 mm) expansion gap between the flooring and the wall. Ensure the floor is flat and clean before sealing. Do not fill the gap with any material; this area will be covered and sealed in the next step.
Step 3 — Apply TrimMax Pro Series Along the Perimeter
TrimMax Pro Series is self-wound — there is no liner. Starting in a corner, position the white silicone center so it bridges the junction between flooring and wall. Adhere the floor leg first, pressing firmly along the flooring edge. Then press the wall leg up onto the painted or primed surface. Roll firmly to ensure full contact and a smooth, continuous seal. At corners, overlap 1–2 in (25–50 mm) or miter for a clean joint.
Step 4 — Install Baseboard or Quarter Round
Place the baseboard or quarter round directly over the sealed joint. Fasten it securely to the wall or studs — do not fasten through the tape. Confirm that the tape is fully concealed and the white center remains sealed behind the trim.
Step 5 — Completed Installation
The finished result should appear seamless, clean, and professionally sealed. TrimMax Pro Series forms a watertight and chemical-resistant barrier, protecting against water, detergents, and urine from wicking behind trim or into wall cavities. No additional caulking is required along the floor line.
