1) If HardieTrim Battens are going
to be installed over horizontal panel
joints without the use of a horizontal
band board, follow the procedure as
illustrated in fig. 8.26. Start installing
HardieTrim Battens by creating
a weather-cut of at least a 22.5°
angle, making a joint at the same
location as the panel joint. Attach
the bottom batten. Make sure the
top batten has a matching weather-
cut and then install top batten.
2) If HardieTrim Battens are to be
installed over horizontal panel joints
with the use of a horizontal band
board, follow the procedure as
illustrated in fig. 8.27. If HardieTrim
Battens are to be installed
horizontally, they must be installed
in the same manner as in fig. 8.27.
Make sure the horizontal Z-flashing
is installed over both the lower panel
and the horizontal band board.
Attach the bottom batten tight to
the bottom edge of the band board.
Next, leaving a minimum 1/4 in.
gap above the horizontal Z-flashing,
install the top batten.
