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.
