The Aluminium Top Vent Strip (25mm) is an essential component for professional installers and DIY builders working with fibre cement cladding systems, providing critical ventilation to prevent moisture build-up behind exterior walls. It excels at maintaining continuous airflow and acting as a physical barrier against pests and debris, though users should ensure their specific cladding thickness matches the 25mm profile requirement to guarantee a flush finish.

This product is engineered specifically for fibre cement cladding systems; check with your siding manufacturer for compatibility with other materials.
No, the profile is fixed. It is intended for systems where a 25mm gap is specified.
Aluminium is naturally corrosion-resistant, but it can be painted to match your siding color if desired using an appropriate metal primer and exterior-grade paint.
You can use standard tin snips or a metal-cutting chop saw with an aluminium-specific blade.
It serves as a ventilation bridge, allowing air to escape from the cladding cavity while preventing pests and debris from entering.
Check for underlying debris between the cladding and the strip; remove any fasteners that may be preventing a flat contact surface.
Verify that the ventilation holes have not been accidentally blocked by flashing, trim, or excessive paint application during final finishing.
To install, ensure the cladding is cut to the appropriate length. Secure the strip along the top edge of the cladding panel, ensuring it is firmly fastened through the pre-drilled flange areas. Ensure there is no obstruction at the vent holes.
Compatibility: This strip is designed for systems utilizing a 25mm gap.
Care: Periodically inspect the vents during annual home maintenance to ensure the holes remain clear of paint or debris. If the strip becomes clogged with exterior paint or heavy dust buildup, gently brush it clean with a soft-bristled brush to maintain airflow.
