What types of edges is the universal U-profile FS-251 used for?

FS-251 is a two-part solid U-profile designed for shaping end and transition facade details in the Kerrafront and Solvo systems. The load-bearing part is attached to the substructure, the panel edge fits with expansion, and the cap closes the visible edge. "Universal" does not mean compatible with every thickness or foreign system; it is used only in the joints shown for the specific VOX panels.

What are the dimensions of the VOX FS-251?

The profile is 35 mm wide, 12 mm deep, and 3 m long. It consists of two parts, and the standard package contains one set. Its cross-section is similar to the perforated FS-261, but FS-251 is solid and assembled with a decorative cap. Therefore, the two models are not interchangeable just because they have the same nominal width and depth.

Which variants of the universal FS-251 are available in Shopify?

White and light colors are LT-5705, dark colors LT-5706, wood color LT-5707, and Trend effect LT-5708. These are color groups for specific collections. For foil-coated panels, the exact decor must be specified because the general name "wood" does not guarantee a match in pattern and shade. The visible cap must be confirmed by a physical sample or system code.

How is expansion left for the panel inside the FS-251?

The end of the facade panel is not pressed to the bottom of the U-profile. The joint set for the specific length and temperature is left, and the screws in the panel allow longitudinal movement. The inner part of FS-251 is fixed to its own support without the decorative cap locking the cladding. The exact joint size is taken from the Kerrafront or Solvo instructions, not from the width of the strip.

How is the cutting layout of the 3-meter FS-251 calculated?

All edges requiring FS-251 are described separately with their actual lengths. Then they are optimized on 3-meter profiles, avoiding visible short joints and preserving fixing points. The total linear meters is only a starting value. Angles, floor level mismatches, and different colors can increase the number of full profiles.

When should FS-251 be used instead of the perforated FS-261?

FS-251 is chosen for a solid two-part finish when the joint should not serve as a ventilation inlet. FS-261 is one-piece and perforated, including for the bottom edge of vertically mounted Solvo panels. If the project requires airflow, the solid FS-251 may block it. The decision follows the facade section and mounting direction, not the available color or similar cross-section.
