V-Notch

FastPlank® V-Notch reimagines the timeless v-groove profile in precision-engineered 6063-T6 aluminum. Unlike wood, which can shrink, swell, warp, and shift over time, aluminum extrusions maintain exceptional dimensional stability, allowing every plank to fit together with remarkable consistency. The tongue-and-groove design creates clean reverse shadow lines that remain uniform across the entire façade. Shadow lines never open up, drop, or gap, preserving the profile's quiet symmetry and architectural precision for decades. Available in woodgrain, solid color, and custom ColorMatch® finishes, V-Notch extends the appeal of traditional v-groove beyond accent areas, making it suitable for full-building applications.

V-Notch can be installed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, giving it considerable flexibility across a wide range of design applications and building orientations.

V-Notch 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.

V-Notch sits at the intersection of classic and contemporary. Its reverse shadow lines give it a sleek, refined quality that suits modern and transitional design equally well; familiar enough to feel grounded, yet clean enough to feel current. In woodgrain finishes, V-Notch captures the warmth and character of natural wood while delivering the precision and durability of aluminum. The result is a profile that feels both timeless and modern, equally at home on residential, multifamily, and commercial projects.

Yes. V-Notch works across both building types. On single family homes it can serve as a full-body cladding or as a defined accent area, and its availability in custom colors makes it flexible enough to suit a wide range of design directions. On multifamily it brings a clean, precise horizontal rhythm to larger facades that holds up well at scale.

Yes. Installed vertically, V-Notch naturally emphasizes height by drawing the eye upward through its clean, continuous lines. Precision-engineered 6063-T6 aluminum extrusions ensure the reverse shadow lines remain straight, evenly spaced, and consistent from top to bottom, creating a façade that feels taller, more refined, and intentionally proportioned.

Yes. V-Notch integrates seamlessly with other FastPlank® profiles to create layered, architecturally rich façade compositions. Whether installed horizontally, vertically, or used as an accent within a larger design, its clean lines and consistent shadow pattern complement a wide range of profile shapes and orientations. Because every FastPlank profile is built on the same Clip & Slide™ installation system and shares a common tongue-and-groove platform, transitions between profiles are straightforward to design and install. The result is a cohesive façade with clean, consistent detailing, even when multiple profiles are combined within the same elevation.
