Installation Guide

STEP FIVE Drive a fastener straight through the substrate while ensuring that the head only makes
light contact with the panel. This allows the panel to move with varying temperatures. The panel
requires a minimum of six (6) fasteners per panel (figure 4). For high velocity wind areas, a fastener is
required in each nailing slot.
Figure 4
Hook the next panel into the starter strip and slide it into the first panel assuring the side lock engages
with the slot from the preceding (installed) panel (figures 5 and 6).

STEP SIX Install the remaining courses, repeating steps 1, 3, 4, and 5. The fastener must be flush with
the panel, so as not to interfere with the succeeding row of panels. In order to achieve a realistic Creek
Ledgestone look, stagger each subsequent course in increments of 8” (figure 7). Never force panels
down on top of each other or into each other, left to right, or else risk breaking the stop posts on the
back of the panel. Set them into place gently, ensuring that all fingers and/or side locks are engaged,
and allow the panels to seat themselves. The stop posts are designed to prevent buckling due to
changing temperatures.
