FAQs

Can I use this joint with other cladding brands?

No, this butt joint is specifically designed for the Freefoam Shadow Gap cladding system and may not fit the profiles of other manufacturers.

Is the Misty Grey finish UV stable?

Yes, the components are manufactured to be weather-resistant and UV-stable for exterior use.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Standard carpentry tools such as a measuring tape, spirit level, and a fine-tooth saw for cutting panels to length are sufficient.

Does this joint provide a waterproof seal?

It is designed to manage the aesthetics of the joint and provide a professional finish, but it should be installed in accordance with best practices for external cladding ventilation and water management.

Are there other colors available?

Yes, the range includes White, Anthracite Grey, Storm Grey, Sage Green, Pale Gold, and Cappuccino.

Troubleshooting

The joint does not sit flush with the cladding panels.

Check that the supporting battens are perfectly level and that there is no debris trapped behind the joint.

The cladding panel feels loose within the joint.

Ensure the panel is fully pushed into the guide channel of the butt joint and verify that the correct cladding profile is being used.

Color mismatch between the joint and the panel.

Confirm that both products are from the official Freefoam Shadow Gap range and verify the color code matches Misty Grey.
