Fix the I trim to the joist by screw xing the

I trim and joist.

Note: Always pre-drill before screwing

unless using composite screws designed

for non pre-drilling. The distance

between each screw should be no more

than 12 inches (300 mm) center to center.

Install the rest of the Siding boards to the

top as shown in Diagram 31.

Next install the Siding board on top of the

AW-02 and install the clips as steps 1-3 of

Siding board on page 13 of this installation

guide.

Note: A gapping of at least 25/64 inch

(10 mm) needs to be left at the bottom

of the ground and the lip of the board to

allow for expansion and contraction and

ventilation.

Repeat steps 1-2 of starting strip on page 12

of this installation guide on the section shown

in Diagram 29.

Siding Board

Diagram 32 is an above cross section view of the

I trim installed. The I trim was installed after the

Siding was installed onto the wall. The I trim then

comes in from the side and is screw xed to the

joist on the other side of the I. Alternatively, the

I trim can be installed first by screw fixing and

then have the Siding boards come in afterwards

but this would require the distance of your

cladding project pre-calculated.
