A fibre cement cladding element 100, suitable for use in a building envelope, comprising a first face 101, a second face 102 and a peripheral edge member, the first face 101 and second face 102 being spaced apart to define an intermediate portion of predetermined thickness (t), the peripheral edge member extending around the intermediate portion. The first face 101 comprises a first profiled portion 106 adjacent at least a portion of the peripheral edge member. The first profiled portion 106 of the first face 101 comprises an exposed recessed portion 107 that is exposed thereby simulating a recessed mortar joint in a constructed wall, a fixing zone intermediate the recessed portion and the at least a portion of the peripheral edge member, and an angled portion 108 intermediate the first face 101 and recessed portion 107. The angled portion 108 comprises an acute angle of between 20 to 75 degrees relative to the plane of the first face immediately adjacent the profiled portion. The first profiled portion is configured to provide an improved shadow zone contrast by substantially containing the shadow zone from an edge of an adjacent cladding element on to the exposed recessed portion. The peripheral edge member comprises a first profiled edge portion and a second profiled edge portion. Each of the first and second profiled edge portions comprises a releasably engageable mutually complementary shiplap profile and the second face is generally planar. |
