The Tamlyn Aluminium Internal Corner in Anthracite Grey is an essential component for contractors and DIY enthusiasts installing fibre cement cladding systems at 90-degree internal junctions. Its primary benefit is providing a clean, professional, and weather-resistant transition point where cladding planks meet, significantly improving the aesthetic finish of a building exterior. A key caveat for installers is the necessity of maintaining a specific clearance gap during installation to ensure effective water drainage and allow for proper sealant application.

No, this product is specifically designed for internal 90-degree corners. Attempting to use it on external corners will compromise the aesthetics and water-shedding functionality.
The clearance allows for the natural thermal expansion of the fibre cement planks and ensures that water can drain freely without becoming trapped.
You can cut the aluminium profile using a standard mitre saw fitted with a non-ferrous metal cutting blade.
It is generally compatible with most standard fibre cement boards, but you should verify that your specific board thickness fits within the profile track.
While the profile provides the transition, you may apply a high-quality exterior-grade sealant in the gap if your local building codes or climate conditions require enhanced weatherproofing.
Verify that you have allowed the required 5mm clearance and ensure the plank edge is not damaged or warped.
Check that the 5mm gap is clear of debris or excess sealant that may be obstructing the drainage path.
Ensure the corner battens are perfectly plumb and that the profile was properly leveled before fastening.
For a successful setup, ensure your supporting timber or metal battens are flush and correctly spaced to support the weight of both the cladding and the aluminium profile. Use stainless steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion between the aluminium and the screws. Regarding care, the profile is virtually maintenance-free due to its powder-coated finish. If dust or debris accumulates, a simple rinse with clean water or a soft brush and mild soap is sufficient. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or high-pressure washers, which could scratch the Anthracite Grey coating over time.
