What is the function of the perforated finishing profile FS-262?

FS-262 is the two-part upper ventilation profile for the Kerrafront or Solvo cladding. The perforation allows air from the cavity behind the panels to escape at the top edge, while simultaneously creating a visible finishing line. It does not replace the minimum ventilation gap behind the facade; if the airflow is interrupted further down, the perforated edge alone cannot provide proper ventilation.

How large is the VOX FS-262 profile?

The factory dimensions are 50 mm width, 19 mm depth, and 3000 mm length. The construction consists of two parts, and the standard logistics indicate one set per package. The cross-section differs from the solid FS-252, despite the same width of 50 mm. Before cutting, the panel direction and exact top detail are checked according to the system instructions.

Where exactly is FS-262 installed on the Solvo facade panels?

The installation instructions show FS-262 along the top edge of the ventilated field, where it releases air from the cavity behind the panels. Its inner part is fixed to the substructure, and the visible cap finishes the cladding. It is not placed arbitrarily instead of a starter profile at the bottom area. The intake ventilation at the bottom is solved with SV 11.5 and FS-211 or FS-261 depending on the orientation.

What Shopify variants are available for the upper ventilation FS-262?

Four groups have been introduced: White and light colors LT-5717, Dark colors LT-5718, Wood color LT-5719, and Trend effect LT-5720. The selection is not made solely by light or dark because the foil collections must match the specific panel decor. The request includes the system, panel model, and actual color for final verification.

Can the openings of FS-262 be closed with insect-repellent foam?

The perforation must not be filled with dense foam, silicone, or any other material that blocks airflow. The profile itself is designed to finish and protect the upper opening while keeping the ventilation cavity functional. If the project requires an additional mesh, it must be system-compatible with sufficient free area, without retaining water or blocking thermal movement.

How many FS-262 profiles are needed for a 13.4 m upper edge?

Dividing 13.4 m by 3 m gives a minimum of 5 profiles, because four cover only 12 m. It is also checked whether the cut-offs can be used between separate fields and if there are corners, interruptions, or window details. The joints are placed in a controlled manner, and the planned expansions between profiles are left; the quantity is not rounded just by the total facade area.
