INSTALLATION
• When attaching trim as batten strips, follow the Fastening Instructions section in this document.
− Exception: When using trim less than 3 inches wide as battens, apply one nail per width, a maximum of every
36 inches vertically.
• When batten strips are applied over panel siding at vertical joints, sealant is not required.
• When batten strips are applied to walls with horizontal panel joints, do not run battens over the panel joint and ashing.
Terminate the trim battens above and below the horizontal panel joint to allow for proper spacing and ashing.
(See diagrams 10a and 10b)
• When batten strips are applied to walls with horizontal band boards be sure to properly ash above and below the band
board. Leave a minimum 3/8 inch space between the ends of the batten strips and the band board. Prime and paint all cut
ends and exposed substrate. Z-ashing installed below the band board must cover the top ends of the batten strips below.
