The Tamlyn Fibre Cement Cladding Aluminium Vertical Trim (XT-VERT-GG) is designed for contractors and homeowners seeking a clean, professional finish for fibre cement siding installations. This versatile profile facilitates seamless connections between panels in both vertical and horizontal orientations, providing essential structural support and aesthetic continuity. While it offers superior durability, installers must adhere strictly to the 5mm clearance requirement to ensure proper moisture management and prevent water entrapment.

Yes, this profile is specifically designed to function effectively in both horizontal and vertical siding applications.
Yes, the 5mm gap is essential to allow for proper water drainage and to accommodate the thermal expansion of the fibre cement panels.
You should use a saw equipped with a non-ferrous metal cutting blade for a clean, burr-free edge.
While the profile provides the mechanical connection, a caulking line is recommended to ensure a secondary moisture seal at the panel-to-trim interface.
Each trim piece is 3 meters in length.
Verify that a minimum 5mm clearance is present and ensure no debris is blocking the drainage path at the bottom of the profile.
Check that all mounting screws are properly anchored into the wall studs and that the fasteners used are compatible with aluminium.
To set up, first ensure your substrate is level and properly prepared with a weather-resistive barrier. Cut the 3-meter aluminium trim to the required height using a non-ferrous metal blade. When installing the fibre cement planks, you must maintain a minimum 5mm clearance between the plank edge and the interior of the trim. This gap is critical for effective water drainage. Once the panels are positioned, apply an optional high-quality exterior-grade caulking line along the joint to improve the seal. For care, simply clean the surface periodically with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to remove dirt or debris; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the finish.
