When is the perforated profile VOX FS-261 used?

FS-261 is involved in the lower finishing of vertically mounted Solvo and Kerrafront panels, where it works together with the lower ventilation SV 11.5. It allows air to pass into the cavity and forms the final detail of the panels. It is not a simple solid U-strip. In horizontal positioning, the starting area usually uses the starter FS-211, so the orientation of the cladding is decided before ordering the profiles.

What are the cross-section and length of FS-261?

The official drawing shows a width of 35 mm, a depth of 12 mm, and a length of 3 m. FS-261 is a one-piece perforated profile, unlike the two-piece FS-251 and FS-262. The standard packaging contains one piece. The dimensions should be compared with the specific panel and facade detail; a similar U-profile without holes does not provide the same ventilation function.

In which color groups is the perforated FS-261 available?

Shopify includes White and light colors LT-5713, Dark colors LT-5714, Wood color LT-5715, and Trend effect LT-5716. Since part of the profile remains visible, the group must be coordinated with the exact decor and collection. The name "Wood color" does not guarantee identical foil with every wood panel; the final code is confirmed through the system.

How do FS-261 and SV 11.5 provide lower ventilation?

SV 11.5 forms the protected air intake, while FS-261 receives the vertical edge of the panels and maintains the opening to the cavity. There must be at least 30 mm behind the cladding, and at the base, the system scheme shows free space above the ground. The profiles work as a combined detail; if insulation, foam, or battens block the path behind them, the perforation will not ventilate the facade.

How is FS-261 calculated for vertical cladding around windows?

First, only the contours for which the facade drawing specifies FS-261 are measured, not the entire perimeter of each opening by default. The total is divided by 3 m, and cutting is done so that visible joints are arranged neatly. Corners and upper edges may require other profiles. Short leftovers are used only if they allow proper fastening and expansion.

How does FS-261 differ from the universal FS-251?

Both profiles have a similar cross-section of 35 x 12 mm and a length of 3 m, but FS-261 is one-piece and perforated for ventilation detail. FS-251 is a solid two-piece U-profile for finishing. They are not interchangeable based on available color because the holes and assembly method are functional differences. The choice follows the specific node from the instructions, not just similar numbers.
