Product Information

Full details

The Tamlyn Fibre Cement Cladding Aluminium Drip Profile (XT-DWFP-MB) is designed for professional builders and contractors seeking a durable, moisture-wicking solution for fibre cement facades. Its primary benefit is providing a robust barrier that effectively directs water away from the structure, protecting the building envelope from water damage. While it offers superior longevity compared to wood or plastic alternatives, users should be aware that proper installation requires precise cutting of filler fillets to maintain a flush facade aesthetic.

FAQs

What is the primary function of the Tamlyn drip profile?

It serves as a moisture management tool, directing water runoff away from the building structure to prevent water ingress.

Can I use this profile with materials other than fibre cement?

It is specifically engineered for fibre cement cladding systems to ensure compatibility with plank thickness and system requirements.

Why is a 30mm fillet required?

The 30mm fillet is used to maintain the plane of the facade, ensuring the cladding boards align perfectly with the drip profile.

Is the 10mm gap mandatory?

Yes, the 10mm distance to adjacent surfaces is essential for proper ventilation of the cladding system.

How do I maintain the black finish?

Regularly clean the profile with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive sponges or strong solvents that could damage the finish.

What is the length of each unit?

Each profile is 3 meters in length.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling behind the cladding

Verify that the 10mm ventilation gap has not been blocked by debris or insulation material.

Profile does not sit flush with the cladding

Ensure the 30mm fillet cut from the plank is consistent in thickness and properly installed behind the profile.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior moisture diversion
  • Durable aluminium construction
  • Professional black aesthetic
  • Standard 3-meter sizing for easy handling

Cons

  • Requires custom fillet cutting for flush installation
  • Strict 10mm ventilation gap requirement
  • Must be paired with compatible cladding materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For proper installation, ensure the substrate is level and the profile is securely fastened. When installing, you must maintain a minimum distance of 10mm to all adjacent surfaces to ensure adequate airflow for the rainscreen cavity. To maintain the system, periodically inspect the drip edge for debris buildup that could obstruct water flow. Clean the aluminium surface with mild soap and water to preserve the powder-coated finish. Avoid using abrasive tools or harsh chemicals that may scratch the black coating.
