shadow gap profile

The NLP-XF2 Shadow Gap Profile from Nucleo is a compact, T-shaped aluminium trim built to create crisp, clean shadow lines at ceiling-to-wall junctions and wall corners. Rather than a bulky cornice or visible molding, it leaves behind a thin, precise reveal line — the modern architectural detail favored in minimalist homes, offices, and retail interiors where walls and ceilings should meet without visible trim. It's one of the slimmest profiles in the Nucleo shadow gap range, designed to sit almost invisibly within the plaster or drywall joint. The result is a sharp, shadow-cast line that reads as a deliberate design detail rather than a construction seam — ideal for false ceiling edges, wall-to-wall corner joints, and drywall expansion/reveal lines. Key features: At just 20.5mm wide and 11.3mm high, the NLP-XF2 is built for the thinnest possible shadow gap, keeping the reveal line subtle and unobtrusive. It's made from extruded aluminium at a light 76 grams per meter, easy to handle, cut, and install without adding bulk to the wall or ceiling assembly. The T-profile design allows it to be recessed into plaster or drywall joints for a flush, professional finish. It comes in a black finish that reads as a clean shadow line rather than a visible trim strip. Standard length is 2 meters per piece, packed 250 profiles per pack — suited to large-scale ceiling and wall trim projects. Best used for: ceiling-to-wall shadow gap joints, wall corner reveal lines, drywall expansion joint trims, and minimalist architectural detailing where a clean line is wanted without visible molding. Note: This profile is supplied without a diffuser and is primarily a decorative reveal trim; check with the Nucleo team if you need a lit version with LED strip and diffuser for this application.
