First Course
NOTE: PANELS MUST BE
INSTALLED FROM RIGHT TO
LEFT.
a. Cut the first panel at “A”
(Fig. 1 & 2).
NOTE: To provide for panel
movement, allow 1/4" gap at all
corner posts, J-Channels, or
other stops.
b. Engage bottom lock firmly into
starter strip. Nail according to
“NAILING PROCEDURES.”
c. Slide the next panel into
position. For Perfection Shingle
Double 7 ", Hand-Split Shake
and Half-Rounds, the top half of
the panel, except the nail hem,
slides under, and the bottom half
slides over the previous panel.
For Perfection Shingle Triple 5",
the top section of the panel
(except the nail hem) and the
bottom section of the panel slide
under, and the middle section
slides over the previous panel.
On all products, the nail hem
will be on top of the previous
panel (Fig. 3).
See the following illustrations for
the overlap amount:
Fig. 4 - Hand-Split Shake
Fig. 5 - Triple 5"
Fig. 6 - Half-Round
Fig. 7 - Double 7"
NOTE: The amount of panel overlap
is important and varies depending
on air temperature. Check and
monitor air temperature when
starting to install the first course on
each wall. See Fig. 4-6 for amount
of overlap by temperature.
Installation Tip for Cedar
Discovery
®
Triple 5": For the best
appearance, it is very important
to be aware of panel temperature
instead of air temperature. To
accomplish this, the panels should
be placed in a shaded area before
being installed to acclimate to
the ambient temperature. Another
option is to measure the panel
temperature with an Infrared
Temperature device, In either case,
install the panel to the appropriate
temperature gauge mark.
d. Nail according to “NAILING
PROCEDURES.”
e. Install additional full panels,
repeating Steps b-d.
