NAILING PROCEDURES
DO NOT NAIL TIGHT
First, nail through center nail
hole - not nail slot.
If using partial panel, find center of
nail hem and drive nail through center
of nail hem (not in nail slot).
Next, nail every 8˝ through center
of four nail slots.
Last, nail through slot in left tab.
NOTE:When nailing through slots,
always nail center of slot, and DO
NOT NAIL TIGHT. Panels must be
able to move to allow for expansion
and contraction caused by tempera-
ture changes.
FIRST COURSE
NOTE: Panels must be installed form
right to left.
a. Cut the first Panel at “A” ( See
Figure 10).
NOTE: To Provide for panel move-
ment, allow ¼˝ gap at all corner
posts, J-Channels, or other stops.
b. Engage bottom lock firmly into
starter strip. Nail according to
“nailing procedures.
c. Side the next panel into position.
The top half of the panel, except the
nail hem, slides under, and the bottom
half slides over the previous panel.
(See Figure 11)
NOTE: The amount of panel overlap
is important and varies depending
on air temperature. Check and moni-
tor air temperature when staring to
install the first course on each wall.
See Chart for amount of overlap. (See
Figure 12).
d. Nail according to “Nailing
Procedures.
e. Install additional full panels,
repeating steps B-D
INSTALLATION
Last Panel on Each Course

rect line on the temperature gauge
into the corner post, less ¼˝.
Cut off left end of panel.
Engage lock into starter strip or
continuous lock of previous course,

Installation Tip: Panels will flex to
allow installation. To minimize waste,
