Product Information

Full details

The Tamlyn Aluminium Drip Profile (XT-DWFP-AG) is an essential component for professional installers and homeowners working with fibre cement cladding systems, providing a durable solution for effective water management. Its primary benefit is the long-term protection of the building structure by directing water runoff away from the facade, though users should note that precise installation—including the use of a 30mm fillet—is required to maintain the facade's architectural plane.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this profile?

It is designed to direct water runoff away from the building structure to protect the facade and underlying wall materials.

Is the 10mm gap mandatory?

Yes, maintaining a 10mm gap is crucial for proper ventilation and moisture management within the cladding system.

Can this be used with non-fibre cement cladding?

This profile is specifically engineered for fibre cement systems; usage with other materials may not provide the same structural or aesthetic performance.

How do I cut the 30mm fillet?

Use a circular saw equipped with a blade suitable for fibre cement to cut a 30mm strip from your cladding plank for use as a backing fillet.

How should I clean the profile?

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove surface dust or buildup; avoid using abrasive scrubbers that may damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling near the profile edge

Check that the profile is installed with a slight outward tilt and verify that the 10mm ventilation gap is not obstructed by building debris.

Facade is not sitting flush

Ensure that the 30mm fillet has been correctly cut and installed to maintain the proper plane of the cladding system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-durability aluminium construction
  • Effective water diversion protects structural integrity
  • Clean, professional finish for cladding edges
  • Compatible with standard fibre cement systems

Cons

  • Requires specific site preparation (30mm fillet)
  • Strict 10mm gap requirement for ventilation
  • Must be cut and installed with precision

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For a successful installation, follow these technical requirements: 1. Install the profile at the base of the cladding assembly. 2. Cut a 30mm fillet from your fibre cement plank to sit behind or adjacent to the profile, ensuring the facade remains flush. 3. Maintain a consistent 10mm ventilation gap between the profile and any surrounding materials to ensure air can circulate behind the cladding. 4. For maintenance, periodically inspect the profile to ensure the 10mm gap remains clear of debris and that the profile remains securely fastened to the substrate.
