Deep Fluted

Deep Fluted takes the concept of fluted cladding and amplifies it through the precision of 6063-T6 aluminum extrusions. Unlike traditional wood-based fluted systems, which can warp, split, or lose definition over time, Deep Fluted maintains crisp, consistent geometry throughout the life of the installation. The profile's deeper channels create more pronounced shadow lines and greater visual depth, allowing the façade to interact with light in a way that feels bold, architectural, and highly intentional. Purpose-designed trims and filler pieces further enhance the system by creating clean terminations and a finished appearance throughout the installation.

Deep Fluted can be installed horizontally or vertically, giving designers flexibility in how they shape the visual character of a building. Horizontal installation emphasizes length and scale, while vertical installation draws the eye upward and creates a stronger sense of height and proportion. In either orientation, the deep flutes generate bold shadow lines that add depth and movement to the façade.

Deep Fluted is offered in four stocked woodgrain and four stocked solid finishes, plus 20 special-order woodgrains. The ColorMatch® Program supports custom solid color matching to project specifications.

Deep Fluted is particularly well suited to contemporary architecture where bold geometry and strong visual rhythm are central to the design intent. Recreation centres, educational facilities, multifamily developments, commercial buildings, and civic architecture are natural applications for the profile. Its deep shadow lines bring texture and dimension to large wall surfaces, creating visual interest without relying on decorative detailing. The result is a clean, modern aesthetic that feels purposeful, confident, and architectural.

Deep Fluted is most commonly used on multifamily and commercial projects, where its bold geometric character complements the scale of the building. The profile excels as an accent element, introducing texture, depth, and contrast within larger façade compositions. While it can be used on residential projects, it is particularly effective on larger buildings where the depth of the fluting can be appreciated from a greater viewing distance.

Yes. When installed vertically, Deep Fluted creates strong, uninterrupted lines that naturally draw the eye upward. The depth of the flutes amplifies this effect by creating pronounced shadow lines that reinforce the building's vertical proportions. Manufactured from precision-engineered 6063-T6 aluminum extrusions, the profile maintains straight, consistent geometry from top to bottom, allowing the height-enhancing effect to remain crisp and intentional across large wall areas.

On larger multifamily projects, the depth of the fluting becomes a defining architectural feature. The pronounced shadow lines create movement, texture, and visual contrast across expansive wall surfaces, helping the building maintain visual interest at both close range and from a distance. Purpose-designed J trims and insert filler pieces close off the flutes cleanly, creating a refined, finished appearance throughout the façade. Combined with the precision and consistency of 6063-T6 aluminum extrusions, the result is a bold architectural surface that maintains its impact across the full scale of the building.

Yes. Deep Fluted pairs exceptionally well with other cladding materials and profiles, where its bold geometry can be used to create contrast and define architectural features. It works naturally alongside panel systems, masonry, horizontal cladding, and other FastPlank® profiles. Because all FastPlank profiles share the same Clip & Slide™ installation system and tongue-and-groove platform, transitions between systems remain clean, cohesive, and straightforward to execute.
