Installation
Installation steps
Basic guidelines: The following instructions allow for the expansion and contraction of the product.
1- Always insert nails in the center of the slots at 16" intervals (40.7 cm).
2- Never completely hammer the nail in. Leave a gap of 1/16" (0.2 cm) .
3- Leave a gap of 3/16" (0.48 cm) between the "J" outline and the siding.
4- Make certain that all pieces are properly joined together.
Note: It is recommended to use a 12 to 6 teeth per inch (2.5 cm) saw to cut the material. Use it in reverse for better finishing.
Installation steps
1- Attach a 3/4" (1.9 cm)"J" trim on the perimeter. Make certain that the horizontal starting line is perfectly level.
2- Cut the siding at 1 1/4" (3.2 cm) below the bottom of the scale hollows. Cut only the quantity required for the first row.
3- Draw a line starting at the higher point and perpendicular to the horizontal line.
4- Mesure the distance of A (figure C), substract 1 1/4" (3.2 cm) and divide by 6 1/2" (16,5 cm) : (A - 1 1/4" (3,2 cm)) / 6 1/2" (16.5 cm). This will give you the amount of rows required. For an even number of rows, start the first row so that hollow of a scale is in the middle (figure D) For an odd number of rows, start the first row so that the tip between two scales is in the middle.
Note: In this case of a fraction, round it up to the next number. (ex.: 10 1/2" = 11" (26.7 cm = 27 cm))
By doing so, you will finish the last row with a complete scale in the middle of the gable.
Install the first row previously cut (step 2) in the "J" starting strip. Leave a gap of 3/16" (0.5 cm) between the strip and the siding. Make certain that the first row is firmly in place and will not come out of the "J" strip.
5- Always layer pieces by at least two scales between every row. Ensure that the line is straight.
6- Cut the last piece and drill a hole proportionate to the size of the nail. Leave a gap of 1/16" (0.2 cm) between the scale and the nailhead.
