Vault Fascia Board Installation Guide

Attach fascia to the rim joist using 3 screws spaced no further apart than 16”
on-center. Fasten the fascia from one end to the other, or from the center
out to each end. Never fasten the fascia from both ends to the center.
Leave a 1/8” space between the fascia ends where two pieces meet or
wherever a piece meets a solid surface (i.e., a corner or a building wall) to
allow for expansion of the material. Use one of the recommended installation
configurations below for best results. Do not install fascia board flush with
decking that runs perpendicular (see figures 1-4 for possible configurations to
conceal 2x10 and 2x12 joists).
Note: Deckorators decking is not suitable for structural use. It should not
be used for primary load-bearing members such as posts, joists, beams
or stringers. The same common sense precautions should be taken when
handling Deckorators products as with any wood or other building materials.
Dust masks and eye protection devices are recommended to avoid possible
irritation from sawdust and chips. Gloves will help protect hands. Hands
should be washed after construction work.
