INSTALLATION
KLEER ONE-PIECE CORNERBOARDS
• Kleer one-piece cornerboards and Kleer Konceal one-
piece cornerboards offer reduced installation time and
improved finished appearance opportunities.
• All corner sheathing must be properly flashed prior to
installing all Kleer cornerboards.
• Make sure the cornerboard is properly positioned prior
to fastening. Take special care to leave appropriate
expansion and contraction spacing at both the top and
bottom of the cornerboard.
• Standard 3 ½" and 5 ½" wide (per side) cornerboards
require two fasteners evenly spaced across each side
spaced no more than 16" apart along its length. Custom
sizes larger than 8" wide (per side) require three
fasteners across each side spaced no more than 16"
apart along its length.
MOULDINGS
• Mouldings may be cut using standard woodworking
equipment. For power miter saws, carbide tooth blades
are recommended.
• Joints may be glued using products like Kleer Cellular
PVC Cement or Kleer Cellular PVC Adhesives. When
bonded correctly, the joint becomes an integral part of
the system being applied.
• Use Kleer Structural Sealant with mechanical fasteners
to improve holding power and make the installed
moulding more secure.
• Install Kleer mouldings using 6d and 8d galvanized or
stainless steel nails 12" on-center and approximately ¾"
from each edge.
• Pre-punch moulding for easier hand nailing and use a
nail set to countersink nail heads. If nailing Kleer
mouldings at 40˚ F or below, pre-drilling is required.
These installation guidelines are only suggested techniques to be used when installing Kleer PVC products under typical
conditions. Kleer does not represent or warrant that these techniques will work in all applications. Kleer Lumber, Inc. assumes
no liability for any damages, including but not limited to, damages to the person, property, incidental, special and/or conse-

To help maximize the beauty and performance of Kleer trimboards, please consider the
following installation reminders:
• Whenever possible install Kleer over a continuous substrate.
• Use the proper quantity and size of fasteners, applied in an even pattern so they will
penetrate into the substrate at least 1-1/2".
• Leave the appropriate expansion spaces between pieces of Kleer based on the temperature at
the time of installation.
• Use adhesives made for PVC products, like Kleer Cellular PVC Cement or Kleer Cellular
PVC Adhesives to join pieces of Kleer.
• Use 100% acrylic latex house paint to finish Kleer if you choose a color with an LRV greater
than or equal to 55%.
• Use a coating that is formulated specifically for exterior vinyl products if you choose a color
with an LRV less than 55%.
• Use Kleer Structural Sealant to fill expansion gaps and nail and screw holes.
