Description
The 1mm base track 93mm 2.5m is a 93 mm starter track sold by its sheet thickness: 1 mm. Fixed level along the bottom of an insulated wall, a starter track sets the line every board above it follows and carries the first course. This one is 2.5 m long and sits on the shelf beside the other starter tracks, plugs and EWI plugs.
Where the 1mm Base Track 93mm 2.5m Is Used
Choose it when the drawing or the system specification names a 1 mm starter track at this width. The width is the same as the standard 93 mm base track, so the setting out, the board and the order quantity do not change between the two.
- external wall insulation jobs specified with a 1 mm starter track;
- walls insulated with a board that suits a 93 mm channel;
- repairs where an existing 1 mm, 93 mm track has to be matched.
Why Choose the 1 mm Track
- The thickness is in the name. A specification that asks for a 1 mm track is answered on the order line without a substitution.
- Same width as the standard track. At 93 mm it takes the same boards as the standard 93 mm track, so switching between them changes nothing on site.
- Same module. Each length is 2.5 m, like every track in the range, so the take-off is simple arithmetic.
- Single lengths. Order exactly the number of lengths the wall needs.

Fitting the 1 mm Track
Start with two quick tests on one length before fixing the run:
- push an off-cut of your insulation board into the channel — it should sit firmly, with no gap behind it and no need to force it;
- press one clip-on profile onto the front edge and check it locks on before you order one for every length.
Then mark one level line round the building, fix each length to it with fixings that suit the wall, and keep the front edges straight from one length to the next. The starter track guide for external wall insulation walks through the first day on site, and the boards for the first course are on the EPS insulation boards shelf.
Two 93 mm Tracks in the Shop
| Track | Width | Length | Sold by |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mm 93 mm track (this track) | 93 mm | 2.5 m | Its 1 mm sheet thickness |
| 93 mm AC base track | 93 mm | 2.5 m | PROFIGIPS aluminium profile with a drip, cartons of 20 |
Take this track when the specification names 1 mm; otherwise the standard 93 mm track does the same job at the base of the wall. Need a different width? The 83 mm and 103 mm tracks sit either side.
Ordering, Delivery and Collection
For the quantity, take the length of wall in metres, divide by 2.5 and round up, then add a length for corners and offcuts. A 12 m wall: 12 ÷ 2.5 = 4.8, so five lengths plus one spare.
- Dispatch: the same day when the tracks are in stock.
- Delivery: the team gets in touch after the order with the most cost-effective option. Parcels up to 25 kg go next day; pallets next day, or within two business days on the economy service. Deliveries are kerbside.
- Collection: from the Renders World counter, Unit 9A, Central Trading Estate, Southampton SO14 5JP — Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm, Saturday 7am to 12pm.

FAQ — 1 mm 93 mm Starter Track
How many lengths do I need?
Divide the length of wall by 2.5 m, round up and add one for corners. Twenty metres of wall takes eight lengths plus a spare.
What is the difference from the other 93 mm track?
Both are 93 mm wide and 2.5 m long. This one is sold by its 1 mm sheet thickness; the other is the PROFIGIPS AC aluminium profile with a drip, sold singly or in cartons of 20.
Will my boards fit the 93 mm channel?
Test with an off-cut. A board that sits firmly is the right match; a loose one needs the 83 mm track, and one that will not go in needs the 103 mm.
What do I check before fixing the whole run?
Fit one length first: an off-cut of board in the channel, one clip-on profile on the front, and the fixing into your wall. When all three are right, fix the rest of the run the same way.
