STEP SEVEN As with any plastic exterior building material, the Creek Ledgestone panel will expand
and contract with a change in temperature. Therefore, during installation it is necessary to position the
panels properly to compensate for temperature effects. When installing at panel temperatures from 30
to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, position the next panel so that the upper left corner of the panel’s nailing
hem overlaps the previously installed panel and lines up with the vertical line as shown below (Figure#
8a and 8b).
For installations at temperatures below 30 degrees F, position the next panel slightly right of the
preceding panel’s edge (e.g. 1/16”). For temperatures above 100 degrees F, position slightly left so the
panel overlaps the preceding panel. Once the panel has been properly spaced, insert a fastener into the
center hole of the panel.

STEP EIGHT Fitting panel pieces between windows or around openings requires a cut-back spacing
of 1/8'' when panels are installed in cold temperatures. Similar spacing may also be necessary when
fitting panels into gable ends, over roof angles, around light blocks or any other place where adequate
panel movement is prevented.
