The Tamlyn Aluminium End Profile (XT-EP-AW) is designed for contractors and DIY enthusiasts installing fibre cement cladding who require a durable, professional finish at the edges of their cladding runs. This profile effectively protects exposed board edges while providing a clean, aesthetic termination point, though users must strictly adhere to a 5mm clearance requirement to ensure proper water management and prevent moisture-related damage.

The gap is essential for moisture drainage and ventilation behind the cladding, which prevents moisture buildup and protects the wall structure.
While it comes in a durable white finish, it can be painted with a high-quality metal primer and exterior-grade paint if a color change is required.
Yes, the aluminium construction is resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for most exterior environments, including coastal areas.
You can use a miter saw equipped with a non-ferrous metal blade or a standard hacksaw for clean, precise cuts.
This profile is specifically engineered for fibre cement planks and panels; compatibility with wood products is not guaranteed.
Ensure the 5mm gap is clear of debris and that there is a clear path for water to exit at the base of the wall.
Check that all mounting fasteners are tightened securely to the structure and that the profile is not bowing between fixings.
To install, measure your wall height and cut the 3-meter profile using a standard metal-cutting saw. Secure the profile to the building frame using appropriate fasteners that penetrate through the mounting flange, ensuring the head of the fastener is flush. When inserting your fibre cement planks, use a spacer to verify the mandatory 5mm clearance is maintained along the entire vertical run. To maintain the finish, simply wipe down the aluminum surface with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth periodically; avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the white coating and expose the raw aluminum to oxidation.
