The Tamlyn Fibre Cement Cladding Aluminium Vertical Trim is an essential component for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts installing fibre cement siding. Designed to provide a clean, professional finish, this trim ensures the seamless connection of cladding panels while promoting effective water management. While it excels in both vertical and horizontal applications, users must adhere to the specific requirement of maintaining a 5mm clearance between the cladding planks and the profile to ensure optimal structural integrity and long-term weather resistance.

Yes, this profile is specifically designed to work for both vertical and horizontal fibre cement cladding applications.
A minimum 5mm clearance must be maintained between the cladding planks and the profile to accommodate thermal movement.
The trim comes pre-finished in Agate Grey. If painting is necessary, use an appropriate metal-bonding primer and exterior-grade paint.
While not strictly required, an optional caulking line is recommended to enhance weather resistance and provide a cleaner aesthetic finish.
Each individual trim piece is 3 meters long.
No, the trim is constructed from high-quality aluminium, which is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion in outdoor environments.
Verify that your fibre cement panels meet the thickness specifications compatible with this profile and ensure the trim is mounted flush against the substrate.
Check that the 5mm clearance is maintained and ensure that the trim was installed following proper shingle-lap or drainage plane techniques.
Ensure that the fasteners used are rated for exterior aluminium and are spaced according to local building codes for cladding accessories.
To install, fasten the trim securely to the building substrate using appropriate corrosion-resistant fasteners. A critical installation step is maintaining a minimum 5mm clearance between the edge of the fibre cement plank and the base of the trim channel. This space allows for thermal expansion and movement of the panels. Once the panels are positioned, an optional bead of high-quality exterior-grade caulking can be applied along the joint to improve weather integrity and visual aesthetics. For cleaning, periodically rinse the trim with water and a soft brush to remove dust or debris buildup that could hinder water drainage.
