The Cembrit Cladding Start Ventilation Profile 25x48mm is the first step to fixing your cladding. Once the starter profile is level and screwed/nailed into place, you can then begin to add the planks. The starter profile will ‘kick out’ the first plank to ensure the look is uniform with the rest of the installation.
To maintain the correct distance outwards, the first plank should be 10mm below the profile. The bottom plank is mounted a minimum of 150mm from the terrain, and 50mm from roofing, balconies and other horizontal structures. We recommend painting the rear of the bottom plank, if distance is less than 150mm from terrain.
