Product Information

Full details

The Tamlyn Aluminium Vertical Trim in Anthracite Grey is designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts working with fibre cement siding, providing a durable and aesthetic transition for panel junctions. It serves as a robust solution for sealing vertical and horizontal panel gaps, ensuring a long-lasting exterior finish. While it offers excellent structural integrity and weather resistance, users must strictly adhere to the required 5mm clearance gaps to prevent moisture entrapment and ensure proper drainage.

FAQs

Can I use this for horizontal applications?

Yes, this profile is specifically designed to function effectively in both vertical and horizontal orientations.

Is the 5mm gap mandatory?

Yes, the 5mm clearance is essential to allow for material expansion and proper water drainage to prevent rot or damage to the underlying structure.

What tools should I use to cut the aluminium?

A circular saw with a non-ferrous metal cutting blade or a hacksaw with a fine-tooth blade is recommended for a clean cut.

Can I paint over the Anthracite Grey finish?

While the factory finish is durable, if you choose to paint it, ensure you use a primer suitable for aluminium surfaces to ensure proper adhesion.

Is this compatible with all fibre cement brands?

It is designed to be compatible with standard fibre cement panels, but always check your board thickness against the trim profile dimensions before purchase.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling near the trim edge

Verify that the 5mm clearance gap is unobstructed and that the cladding has a proper slope to direct water away.

Trim feels loose after installation

Ensure the trim is anchored into the underlying studs or furring strips rather than just the cladding material itself.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to rust and environmental decay
  • Suitable for both horizontal and vertical application
  • Provides a clean, professional aesthetic finish
  • Easy to cut and fit to standard cladding dimensions

Cons

  • Requires precise 5mm clearance for performance
  • Material may be susceptible to denting if handled roughly
  • Requires specific cutting tools for aluminium profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your cladding panels are cut square. Position the Tamlyn profile between panels, ensuring a consistent 5mm gap between the edge of the plank and the trim body. This gap is critical for thermal expansion and water drainage. For cleaning, simply wipe the trim with a soft cloth and mild soapy water during regular house maintenance; avoid harsh acidic cleaners that may degrade the Anthracite Grey coating. Regularly inspect the trim-to-cladding junction for debris that might obstruct drainage paths.
