Finishing profiles, as complete systems.
The decorative and finishing aluminium profiles, curated by family. The point: stop treating these as individual metal strips and organise them as complete junction systems — profile + corners + joiners + end caps + fasteners + install method + compatible material thickness.
Standard sizes and conventions only — no SKUs, brands or prices. Sizes state the visible face; bar length is managed in linear metres; alloy/temper and a custom colour (e.g. Champagne) are recorded against an approved master sample. A movement joint is a structural profile, never a decorative T-strip.
10 profiles — each a complete junction system (profile + corners + joiners + end caps + fasteners). Source and verify against a supplier; ELS states no SKU.
- Matching end caps / terminations (profile-specific to T10)
- In-line joiner / alignment spline for butt-joining bars in a long run
- Corner: 45° site mitre, or a moulded 阴角 / 阳角 corner if the range offers one
- Neutral silicone / structural adhesive to bond the stem (not double-sided tape alone for load)
- Wedge spacers to hold the seam width while curing
- Mitre jig / 45° cutting guide for clean corners and butt joints
Use: Decorative reveal lines on WPC / bamboo-charcoal / laminate wall panels — feature-wall grids, panel-seam concealment, TV and headboard feature lines
Not for — A decorative T-line is NOT a movement / expansion joint — never use it to bridge a structural or thermal movement gap
To source & verifyConfirm the number is the VISIBLE FACE width (not seam / insertion depth) + compatible panel thickness + bar length in linear metres
- Matching end caps / terminations (profile-specific to T15)
- In-line joiner / alignment spline for butt-joining bars in a long run
- Corner: 45° site mitre, or a moulded 阴角 / 阳角 corner if the range offers one
- Neutral silicone / structural adhesive to bond the stem
- Wedge spacers to hold the seam width while curing
- Mitre jig / 45° cutting guide for clean corners and butt joints
Use: Bold reveal lines and wider grid divisions — taller feature walls, wardrobe and joinery face lines, reception and headboard backdrops
Not for — A decorative T-line is NOT a movement / expansion joint — never use it to bridge a structural or thermal movement gap
To source & verifyConfirm the number is the VISIBLE FACE width (not seam / insertion depth) + compatible panel thickness + bar length in linear metres
- T5-specific end caps (kept in limited qty)
- In-line joiner / alignment spline matched to T5
- Neutral silicone / structural adhesive for the shallow stem
- Wedge spacers to keep the fine seam even
- Mitre jig for clean 45° corners (bar is mitred; no separate corner)
Use: The finest decorative reveal — tight panel grids, delicate feature lines and shadow-gap detailing where T10 / T15 would look heavy
Not for — Shallow stem — do not use T5 to bridge a wide or uneven seam; it will not hold. It is a decorative line, never a movement / expansion joint
To source & verifyConfirm Matte Black stock (the only standard T5 colour) + visible face ~5 mm + fine seam width + bar length in linear metres
- T5 end caps + joiner in the matching Champagne batch
- Approved physical master sample retained on file
- Neutral silicone / structural adhesive
- Wedge spacers for the fine seam
- Mitre jig for 45° corners
Use: Warm metallic reveal lines where Matte Black is too hard — Champagne feature walls, joinery faces, hospitality and retail interiors
Not for — Do not order without an approved master sample, and do not mix colour batches on one visible run — visible colour mismatch. Not a movement joint
To source & verifyApproved physical Champagne master sample on file + single-batch colour match + same T5 section / seam + bar length in linear metres
- The two T-line bars it aligns
- Neutral silicone / adhesive to lock the splice
- Wedge spacers to hold face-flush while curing
Use: Butt-joining T-line bars into a run longer than one stock length while keeping the face line unbroken
Not for — Straight in-line joints only — not a substitute for a corner; do not use it to turn a corner
To source & verifyJoiner is profile-specific — confirm it matches this T-line's back geometry; otherwise align by squared butt + adhesive
- The T-line it terminates (batch-matched)
- Dab of neutral silicone / adhesive to retain the cap
- Deburred, squared bar end to seat the cap
Use: Closing the visible end of a T-line where it stops at a panel edge, door / window reveal, or ceiling line
Not for — Not structural — the bar must be independently bonded; the cap only closes the end, it does not hold the T-line
To source & verifyEnd cap is profile-specific and colour-matched — confirm the cap matches this exact T-line (T5 / T10 / T15) and finish batch
- Mitre jig / fine-tooth saw for 45° cuts
- Neutral silicone / structural adhesive
- Touch-up / edge seal matched to the finish
- Non-marring clamps while curing
Use: Turning T-line reveals around internal and external wall corners on feature walls and panel grids
Not for — Do not force / bend a rigid T-line around a sharp corner (kinks the face) — mitre it or use the corner part; a corner is not a movement joint
To source & verifyStated angle 90° internal (阴角) vs external (阳角) + whether a moulded corner exists or it is a site 45° mitre + surface vs panel-inserted seating
- Fine-tooth mitre saw or hand mitre box
- Non-marring clamps
- Deburring tool / fine file for cut edges
Use: Fabricating clean corners and in-line butt joints for T-line runs on site or in the workshop
Not for — Not a fixing component — it shapes cuts only; do not leave it in the finished junction
To source & verifyJig fits this profile's face + stem and grips without marring the finish
- The rigid T-line it continues (colour / finish batch-matched)
- Neutral silicone / structural adhesive
- Forming template / former to hold the radius while curing
- Wedge spacers
Use: Curved feature-wall seams, arched openings and circular columns — where a rigid T cannot follow the curve
Not for — Not for radii tighter than its rated minimum bend radius (kinks / cracks the face); not a structural curve-former
To source & verifyMin bend radius + factory-curved vs site-bendable + colour-match to the rigid T-line master sample
- The T-lines it seats (T5 / T10 / T15)
- Solvent / primer matched to the panel substrate
- Wedge spacers sized to the specified seam width
Use: The standard way every seam-inserted T-line is fixed and spaced — kept as a consumable alongside the profiles
Not for — Do not use acetic-cure silicone on anodised aluminium (corrosion); do not rely on thin double-sided tape alone to carry a vertical / overhead T-line
To source & verifyAdhesive is neutral-cure and substrate-approved + spacer set matches the specified seam width
What every profile record should carry
A profile is a system, not a length. Record it as: profile + corners + joiners + end caps + fasteners + install method + compatible thickness.
