Installation guide
General information
CAUTION: Remember that polymer undergoes expansion/contraction due to variations in temperature.
1- Always begin the installation at the lowest part of the structure, from left to right.
2- Always hammer in the center of the installation holes. Each complete panel must be nailed by 4 nails at maximal intervals of 16” (40,64cm) or less (Figure 1). If panels are installed on a furring wall, a furring strip is required behind each nail. Always use non corrosive nails or screws that can penetrate a minimum of 3/4” (1,91cm) into a solid surface.
3- Never hammer the nails in completely. Leave a gap of 1/16’’ (0,16cm). The stoppers located around the holes stop the hammer from driving the nails in too far, and provide the required gap (Figure 2)
4- Make sure that all pieces are correctly inserted into one
another (Figure 3).
5- When using a J-trim, leave a space of 1/4’’ (0,64cm)
between the inside wall of the J-trim and the siding
(Figure 4). Use standard 7/8’’ (2,22 cm) J-trim.
Note: To cut the material, it is recommended to use a
circular saw with a finishing blade.
Installation steps with J-trim as starter strip
1- Attach a 7/8” (2,22cm) J-trim on the perimeter. Make sure
that the horizontal starting line is perfectly level (Figure A).
2- Draw a plumb line starting at the highest point and
perpendicular to the horizontal line (Figure A).
3- Cut the siding at 1 1/4” (3,18cm) below the bottom of
the scale hollows. Cut only the quantity needed for one
complete starting row (Figure B).
4- Mesure the distance A (Figure A), substract 1 1/4”
(3,18cm) and divide by 6 1/2” (16,51cm). This will give
you the amount of rows required to complete the gable
excluding the starting row. For an odd number of rows,
install the starting row so that hollow between two
scales is in the middle (Figure C). For an even number
of rows, install the starting row so that the tip of scale is
in the middle (Figure D). By doing so, you will finish the
last row with a complete scale in the middle of the gable
(Figure G).
5- Install the starting row previously cut (step 2) in the Figure E
J-trim used as a starter strip. Leave a gap of 1/4” (0,64cm)
between the inside wall of the J-trim and the siding. Leave
a gap of 3/16” (0,48cm) between every panel and make
sure that the row is firmly in place and will not come out
of the J-trim (Figure E).
Note: Do not nail into the extremities holes of the
panel (1 - Figure H), except if there no more nailing
hole above the piece (2 - Figure H).
Installation over siding
1- Mesure the distance A (Figure A1), add 4” (10,2cm) and
divide by 6 1/2” (16,51cm). This will give you the amount
of rows required to complete the gable.
2- Over the last siding row, install the first starter clip.
If result obtained in step 1 gives an even number, install
the starting clip centered with the top (Figure B1). With
an odd number, install the starter clip at 2 1/8” (5,40cm)
of the center (Figure B1). By doing so, you will finish
the last row with a complete scale in the middle of the
gable (Figure G). Install the other starter clips at every
9 5/8” (24,45cm) (Figure B1).
3- Cut the first panel according to the roof pitch and
insert into the other starter clips (Figure C1). Insert the
other panels until the end of the row. Make sure to space
equally each panel from one to another (Figure E).
4- Install the next rows into the previous rows by staggering
by at least two scales every other row. Always make sure
that you are aligned (Figure F).
5- Cut the final piece, drill a hole proportionate to the size of
the nail, but smaller than its head and nail in (Figure G).
Note: Do not nail into the extremities holes of the
panel (1 - Figure H), except if there no more nailing
hole above the piece (2 - Figure H).
