Creating the perfect cedar look is as easy as installing

the combination of Cedar Impressions

Shingles or

Shakes with the Cedar Impressions Mitered Cornerpost

and Vinyl Carpentry™ cornice molding and cornice cap.

The cornice cap seamlessly finishes the installation by

covering the gap between the two pieces of cornice

molding that intersect at the mitered cornerpost.

Install Cornice Molding

To finish the top course of Cedar Impressions Siding,

attach cornice receiver or Deluxe F-channel to the top of

adjacent walls under the eave or soffit, 1/4" from the

edge of the corner. Using a nail slot punch, punch nail

slots 1/4" from the trimmed edge of the siding panel,

16" apart. Nail off the top course (figure 1).

Install the top section of Mitered Cornerpost. Leave

1/4" between the top corner piece and the cornice

receiver (figure 2).

Snap the cornice molding into the cornice receiver. The

cornice molding should be 1/4" from the edge of the

wall (figure 3).

Install Cornice Cap

Hook the top of the cornice cap over the end of the

cornice moldings and snap the bottom into place

(figure 4).

Alternately, you can slide the cornice cap over one of the

cornice moldings until the other cornice molding can be

inserted.
