Installation Guide
General Information
CAUTION: remember that Polymer undergoes expansion / contraction due to variations in temperature. The following instructions will allow for the expansion / contraction of the material.
1- Always begin the installation from left to right and make sure
that a wall is completed before beginning a new one. Always
begin at the lowest part of the structure.
2- Always hammer in the middle of fixation holes. Each complete
panel must be nailed by 5 nails at maximal intervals of 16(40,6cm) or
less and one nail in the lateral hole (Figure 1). If panels are installed on
a furring wall, a furring strip is required behind each nail.
3- Never hammer the nail in completely. Leave a gap of
1/16(0,16cm) (Figure 2).
4- Make sure that all pieces are proprely joined together
(Figure 3).
5- When using j-trim, leave a space of 1/4(0,64cm) between the
inside wall of j-trim and the siding (Figure 4).
Note: To cut the material, it is recommended to use a circular saw with a
finishing blade.
Installation steps
1- to begin, install the starter strips. Make sure that the horizontal
starting line is perfectly level and square with the wall (Figure A).
Leave a 1/2(1,27cm) gap at each extremity of the wall.
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
2-1/4(5,7cm) 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.
3- Install the following panel by hooking it into the starter strip
and sliding it to the left. Make sure that the panels are spaced
equally. see temperature lines on panels (Figure c).
Installation:
- 35 ēc (95 ēF) spacing between panels 0.125 / 3,2mm
- 20 ēc (68 ēF) spacing between panels 0.200 / 5mm
- 5 ēc (41 ēF) spacing between panels 0.300 / 7,6mm
4- After positionning each panel at the proper spacing of the
installation temperature guideline, nail in the center hole of the panel
(the panel will move evenly in both directions in case of retraction
or expansion) and in the lateral hole. If the panel is installed on a
furring wall, a furring strip is required behind these holes. (Figure D)
N.b. If a piece of a panel does not have the initial center
hole directly in the middle, drill a new center hole (diameter
1/8(0,3cm)) at the same height as the other installation holes.
each full panel should use a minimum of 6 nails.
5- begin the second row by cutting the first panel with
16(40,6cm ) increment from the cutting line of the first row.
Hooking the lower panel section with the top hooks of the last
installed row. to eliminate stacking seams, alternate the cut
positions for the following rows. (Figure e)
6- For the last row or places where you may need to attach
siding other than in installation holes at a concealed spot on
the panel use a knife to create new slots 1(2,54cm); the slot
must be wider than the nail but not as wide as the nail head.
Although not set in installation holes, this type of cutting will
allow the expansion/contraction movement (Figure G).
- If you need to set accessories on siding at a concealed spot on
the panel, create a new slot larger than the nail body but smaller
than the nail head to permit expansion/contraction.
* Do not set accessories directly and only on the siding. the fasteners
must be fixed on a solid surface.
decorative corners installation
1- the installation of corners begins once you have completed
two adjacent walls.
Note: For proper installation & optimal corner appearance, make
sure that rows of adjacent walls are at equivalent height.
2- the corner is adjustable as the height of the siding shingles
varies. While installing, slip the two external hooks (at rear of part)
under the starter strip (1). push the corner upwards on siding
shingles until proper fit (2). Nail into slots at the top (Figure G ).
- For the first row only, you may have to cut the two internal
hooks to avoid interference with the starter strip (Figure H).
3- For all the other corners, insert the two internal hooks into the
two openings (3). ensure they are locked in place. push corner
upwards on siding shingles until proper fit (4). Nail into slots at the
top (Figure I).
4- For the last corner only, cut excess from part. on each side of the
corner, make a hole wider than the shaft of the nail, but smaller than
the head. Affix a nailing strip behind these locations to fasten corners
firmly. Fold back the top of the corner and nail it down. (Figure j)
