New Construction: Check to see that all nails and sheathing are in place. Re-Siding: Secure and nail loose boards. Remove down spouts, lighting fixtures, mouldings, old caulking around windows and doors. Check to see that sidewalls and base are level and plumb. Use furring where necessary. One carton of hollowback siding contains enough material to cover 100 square feet of wall area. 1 Ch alk 2 4 ¼" 4 ¼" Lin e Starter Strip 1" 1.
3 1" ¾" ¼" 3. INSTALL CORNER POSTS To install all corner posts. Place bottom edge of post 1/4" below the bottom of the starter strips. Corner posts should run straight and true up the wall to the eave. Nail to the adjoining walls. SPLICING CORNER POSTS Splicing is necessary when the corner post does not reach the desired height. Working on the bottom edge of the upper post, cut 1" of the nailing flanges away. Lap the top post over the bottom post 3/4" to allow for expansion and contraction.
4 4. INSTALL "J" CHANNEL TO TOP AND SIDES OF WINDOWS AND DOORS Nail J Channel flush to the top and sides of doors and window casings, following nailing instructions. FORMING CORNERS WITH “J” CHANNEL Install top J Channel so that it extends beyond the casings a distance equal to the width of the side J Channels. Make two cuts in the base of the top J Channel and bend the base down. The bent portion will slide over the side J Channel and make a water drain.
6. OVERLAP PANELS Each panel should overlap previous panel 1/2" or half the width of the factory notch to allow for movement in the siding. Always lap the factory end over any end you have cut. Lap all joints away from doors. 7 7. INSTALL BALANCE OF SIDING After completing first row of siding, continue with second row, starting each row at the back of the house, working to the front.
8 J Channel Scrap Piece ¼" Undersill Trim CUT SIDING TO FIT UNDER WINDOW Using these measurements, mark the area of the siding to be removed. Make vertical cuts in the top of the siding. Use a tin snips to make the horizontal cut and pop the piece out. INSTALL SIDING UNDER WINDOW Install undersill trim the width of the window flush to the casing. Furring may be necessary to maintain proper pitch of the siding.
9. FINISHING TOP ROW OF SIDING UNDER EAVES The procedure for finishing top row of panels under eaves is similar to fitting panels under windows. Usually furring will be needed under this last panel to maintain correct slope angle. Nail undersill trim to the furring with aluminum nails. Trim should extend the entire length of the wall.
