Hi all, I’m looking at the area of cladding that will sit in the window rebate and not sure what to do. Windows are alu clad Rationel and they show on their fitting instructions to leave the Compriband exposed when fitting the cladding rather than hard up against the edge of the frame. My my issue with this, is it leaves about 8mm if a gap between the board and the end of the cill. I like the the idea of running it up against, or even overlapping the frame but am also then concerned with the wooden frame over time being affected by little air flow (if you see what I mean). Ive attached pics showing the area with and without the choices. Any my ideas or examples of what others have done? The wood shown is only a mock up and not the stuff that will be used.

Vent Detaill for Alu Clad Doors - what to do for the best!
Peter posted a topic in Windows & Glazing
Hi We have some Rationel Alu Clad doors already in place -have been for some time! . Please see pics. These doors require that air flow is maintained at the edge to vent the timber under the aluminium. I plan to fit vertical cedar between the doors. The doors have approx 15mm of wooden frame proud of the wall. I will use a 20 mm batten then 22 mm cedar. Any tips as to how I maintain the airflow but stop moisture penetrating the gap between the doors and the timber uprights of the house. I'd also like it to look neat as well!! I have seen Compriband. Could I compress Compriband between the frame and the cladding edge and yet still leave the vent gap free? Appreciate any ideas. Peter
