2-When using decorative corners, cut the left side of a panel
in a straight line, insert panel into starter strip and nail the
panel at 3 1/2“(8,89cm) from the wall edge. When using J-trim
corner, cut the left side of a panel in a straight line, insert panel
into starter strip and slide it in the J-trim corner. Leave a space
of 1/4“(0,64cm) between inside wall of J-trim and the siding
(Figure B). Measure the wall length to determine where to cut
your first panel in order to avoid having a very small piece at
the right end of the wall. Be sure to align adjacent walls.
1-First install the starter strips at the lowest point of the structure.
Make sure that the horizontal starting line is perfectly leveled
and square with the wall. Leave a 1 1/2“(3,81cm) gap at each
end of the wall when using decorative corners (1). If a floor is
against the wall you must leave a gap of 5/8’’(1,59cm) between
the starter and the floor (2). If there is no floor, starter strips
should be flush with the base of the wall. Nail the starter strips
through the nailing holes at maximal intervals of 8” (20,32 cm)
or less. Do not forget to nail in the center hole (3). Install the next
starter strip by sliding it leftward to the stopper in the previous
one and nail it as mentioned above (4)(Figure A).
INSTALLATION STEPS
3-On each panel, hammer a nail into the center hole of the
panel (Figure C), this will ensure even movement of panel in
both directions during expansion/contraction. Also hammer a
nail into the last hole on both ends and into the lateral hole. If
the panel is installed on a furring wall, a furring strip is required
behind these holes.
-N.B.: If a panel piece does not have the initial center hole in
the middle, drill a new center hole of 1/8“(0.32cm) diameter at
the same height as the other installation holes. Each full length
panel should be secured with a minimum of 5 nails, plus the nail
into the lateral hole.
