FAQs

Can I use this with any cladding board?

No, this component is specifically engineered to work only with Shadow Gap Cladding panels.

Does this joint prevent water ingress?

The joint is designed to provide a finished aesthetic; however, proper weatherproofing should always be handled by the underlying cladding system and wall membrane.

How do I clean the joint if it gets dirty?

Use a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents as these may damage the finish.

Is the Anthracite Grey color permanent?

The material is designed for exterior use and features high color stability, though some fading may occur over many years due to extreme UV exposure.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Standard installation tools for cladding, such as measuring tape, level, and appropriate fasteners, are sufficient for a professional finish.

Troubleshooting

Joint does not sit flush with panels

Ensure the underlying support battens are perfectly level and that no debris is trapped behind the joint.

Visible gaps appearing after installation

Check that the panels were allowed adequate space for thermal movement during the initial mounting process.

Color mismatch

Verify that the butt joint model and cladding panels belong to the same product batch to ensure color consistency.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates a professional, clean visual finish
  • Easy to integrate into existing Shadow Gap systems
  • Resistant to typical outdoor weathering
  • Reduces the visual impact of long, uninterrupted cladding runs

Cons

  • Not compatible with non-Shadow Gap cladding profiles
  • Requires precise alignment during installation for a flush fit
  • Limited to specific color-matched systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires that you first ensure your primary Shadow Gap Cladding panels are mounted securely to the sub-frame. When you reach the point where a join is necessary, slot the butt joint between the two panel ends, ensuring that the profile lines up exactly with the existing cladding. Always ensure there is a small allowance for thermal expansion within the joint. For care and maintenance, the Anthracite Grey surface can be kept clean by occasionally wiping it down with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and mild soapy water to remove accumulated dirt or debris, maintaining its aesthetic appeal over time.
