Installation Guide

Double nail all joints and do not nail any closer than ½” from the edge of material without drilling pilot holes. Use a 6d
or 8d galvanized nail with a 3/16” head diameter, long enough to penetrate 1-1/4” into structural framing members.
Use only corrosion resistant fasteners, such as hot dipped galvanized nails or stainless steel. Drive nails perpendicular
to the framing and trim and do not overdrive or countersink the fasteners.
DO NOT USE STAPLES, T-NAILS OR ANY TYPE OF COUNTER-SINKING FASTENER, such as tapered head or bugle head
fasteners. Use of these fasteners will void the warranty.
Fasten RealTrim Plus™ Fascia and Trim from one end to the other end. Do not nail towards the center from both ends.
BUTT JOINTS:
All joints must fall over a framing member. Caulk all joints. Scarf cut on a 22.5 degree angle. Double nail all joints on
both sides as noted in the diagram. In addition gluing of joints is also recommended for finished appearance.
POWER DRIVEN NAILS:
Power nailing systems are allowed when the fasteners are equal in performance (e.g., nail withdrawal, bending strength
and corrosion resistance) to standard 6d or 8d nails. Any other fasteners used, such as screws or ring-shank nails,
must meet the same minimum criteria.
