Concealed Fixing Web, Recessed Return and Low Front Face

Tall Rear Fixing Web

The rear web sits behind the wall finish and connects the profile to the supporting wall or framing. Its height is 60,65 or 70 mm for the three reveal configurations, retaining a 30 mm overlap behind the wall finish.

15 mm Return and 20 mm Front Face

A horizontal return lies 20 mm above the floor and connects the rear web to a 20 mm front downstand. The outer profile depth is 15 mm, with the low metal face aligned to the wall-finish plane.

1.5 mm Matte-Black Aluminum Section

The profile uses a 1.5 mm nominal 6063-T5 aluminum section with a matte-black finish. The rear web, return and front face form one continuous extrusion along the 2500 mm bar.

Three Wall-Base Reveal Heights

Three coordinated reveal, rear-web and wall-finish heights with common 15 mm depth and 20 mm front face.

10 mm Reveal Configuration

The main section uses a 60 mm rear web. Ending the wall finish 30 mm above the floor leaves a 10 mm opening over the 20 mm front face.

15 mm Reveal Configuration

The 65 mm web retains 30 mm of fixing overlap above a 35 mm wall-finish lower edge. Its 15 mm opening gives a deeper horizontal shadow line at the same 20 mm metal front height.

20 mm Reveal Configuration

The 70 mm web pairs with a 40 mm wall-finish lower edge. The resulting 20 mm opening retains the same 15 mm outer section depth and 20 mm low front face.

Wallboard Datums, Corners and Floor Interfaces

Set the Wall Finish from the Floor Datum

The detail locates the finished floor,20 mm metal face and 30/35/40 mm wall-finish lower edge together. Those levels establish the 10/15/20 mm reveal before wallboard finishing and perimeter setting-out.

Coordinate Corners and Run Ends

Inside corners, outside corners and exposed ends use matched miter or stop details. Bar joints, exposed cuts and coating treatment are located on the room perimeter schedule.

Keep the Floor Movement Interface Clear

The floor/wall detail carries the flooring movement allowance, profile fixing plane and wall finish together. The reveal remains a continuous recess while the adjoining floor retains its specified perimeter interface.

Recessed Aluminum Skirting Profile Questions

How does the profile form the shadow line?

The 20 mm metal front face sits below the wall-finish lower edge. A recessed return connects it to the taller rear fixing web, leaving the chosen 10,15 or 20 mm opening above the front face.

Which section matches each reveal?

The 10 mm opening uses a 60 mm rear web, the 15 mm opening a 65 mm web and the 20 mm opening a 70 mm web. All retain 30 mm of web behind the wall finish.

Where should the wall finish end?

Set its lower edge 30,35 or 40 mm above the finished floor for the 10,15 or 20 mm reveal respectively. The low metal face remains 20 mm high in every case.

What are the aluminum and bar dimensions?

The profile is specified in 6063-T5 aluminum with a 1.5 mm nominal wall, 15 mm outer depth and 2500 mm straight-bar length. The matte-black finish covers the exposed section.

How are corners and floor interfaces detailed?

The room perimeter schedule locates miters, stops, straight joints and exposed cut ends. The floor assembly retains its movement allowance while wall fixings and wallboard edges follow the profile section.

What belongs in a profile quotation?

Include the reveal section, room runs, cut lengths, straight-bar quantities and spare bars. Add corners/stops, wall-finish datums, fixing details, surface reference, protected packing and destination.
