Installation Instructions

Wall Preparation

Remove the existing siding and make sure the wall is sound and not degraded

due to wet or dry rot. If this is the case, reconstruct with new substrate

materials before installing the new Novabrik siding. Have a qualified

electrician extend the exterior outlets and light fixtures, and move

the electric meter. Finally, have a qualified plumber extend

the hose bib and remove downspouts if necessary.

• Studs

2” x 4” (38mm x 89mm) or

2” x 6” (38mm x 140mm)

• Flashing

In cases where the foundation ledge exceeds the

Novabrik veneer, it is required to install a flashing

at the base of the wall.

• Housewrap

Make sure the housewrap covers

the sheathing. Seal all joints with a

tape of an approved manufacturer.

• Sheathing

(as specified by the Architect)

Have the housewrap overlap

the flashing by at least 6” (150mm)

Before you start installing the

furring strips, indicate the stud

location of your building on to the

housewrap.
