It provides critical edge protection for the ends of cladding runs, ensuring a sleek appearance while safeguarding the building envelope.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this profile?

It is designed to provide a professional, clean finish to the ends of fibre cement cladding runs while protecting the edges.

Is the 5mm gap mandatory?

Yes, maintaining a 5mm clearance between the plank and the profile is crucial for effective water drainage.

Can this be used with wood cladding?

This product is specifically engineered for fibre cement cladding systems and may not be suitable for other materials due to expansion and drainage needs.

How do I clean the Anthracite Grey finish?

Use a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the coating.

Can I paint this profile?

The profile comes in a factory-applied finish; painting is generally not recommended as it may affect the performance and durability of the coating.

Troubleshooting

Profile looks misaligned

Check that the supporting batten is level before securing the profile; adjust using shims if necessary.

Water pooling near the end of the cladding

Verify that a 5mm gap exists between the cladding and the profile to ensure proper drainage.

Difficulty cutting to exact length

Use a miter saw with a high-tooth count blade suitable for non-ferrous metals for the cleanest cut.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a clean, professional aesthetic finish
  • Highly durable and corrosion-resistant aluminium
  • Standardized 3-metre length simplifies planning and installation
  • Effective at shielding cladding edges from environmental wear

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement to maintain the 5mm drainage gap
  • Not intended for non-fibre cement cladding materials
  • Colour is fixed to Anthracite Grey, limiting customization options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your support battens are properly aligned before mounting the profile. The profile should be secured with appropriate fasteners that are compatible with aluminium. When cutting the 3-metre lengths to size, use a metal-cutting blade to ensure a clean, burr-free edge that won't scratch the cladding.

  • Compatibility: Designed specifically for standard fibre cement cladding thicknesses.
  • Maintenance: Periodically inspect the 5mm gap to ensure it remains clear of debris, such as leaves or dirt, which can block drainage.
  • Cleaning: Clean the surface with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to maintain the integrity of the Anthracite Grey finish; avoid abrasive chemicals or steel wool.
