Fast & Easy Installation for New Constuction & Remodeling
Using frieze runner channel:* (Refer to Figure 1)
1. FRIEZE RUNNER - Bottom edge of runner channel must be level and
aligned with the bottom surface of the fascia board. Using nailing flange
of channel, nail and install along the entire length of the wall surface.
2. DOUBLE-CHANNEL - To join panels at corners, cut double channel to
fit and match angle when positioned diagonally from frieze channel to
corner of fascia board.
3. SOFFIT PANELS - Cut at 45° for corner areas, slide into channel and
secure into position using nails in panel grooves as required, to under
edge of fascia board. Continue panel installation for entire length.
4. FASCIA TRIM - Beginning at corner, position up snug to underside of soffit
panels, pre-drill (align with soffit grooves) and nail through bottom lip of
fascia trim every 36” along bottom edge of fascia board. NEVER ‘face nail’
fascia. DO NOT drive nails tight — fascia must be ‘hung’, not tight, to allow
expansion and help prevent distortion. Allow at least 1” overlap of fascia
where lengths meet.
5. FINISH TRIM - Use drip edge, gutter or all-purpose trim to cover and finish
top edge of fascia trim.
* If installing soffit panels over existing wood soffits, soffit ‘J’ channel can be
used in place of frieze runner and double channel.
