Installation Instructions

Installation
Before starting installation, check that the wall surface is straight and if needed install furring
strips. It is recommended to use vapor barrier and consult local building code for vapor barrier
requirements.
Installation of vinyl I span wall panels can be parallel to ceiling joists, roof trusses and wall
studs. If additional support is needed, use 1” x 4” or 2” x 4”. Always check local building code
for maximum spacing. We would recommend spacing of 24” as a minimum requirement if
attached support is perpendicular to the structural members.
All trims used for windows and/or doors, as well as other openings should be attached to a
furring strips.
The first fastener should be nailed at the center of a panel and continue to ends. After fastening
check interlock and ease of movement.
If I span wall panels are used for wall and ceiling, make sure that wall panels are installed
before ceiling panels.
Start installation along the bottom of a wall with Base trim or J-Channels*. After that install
corner trim and appropriate trim on ceiling (corner trim or J-channel) and start with panel
installation following Basic installation instructions.
If J-channel is used make sure to drill ¼” holes along bottom 16” on center for drainage.
