Installation
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 at the lowest part of the structure, from left to right.
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 (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 must be able to penetrate a minimum of 3/4(1,91cm) into a solid surface.
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 at the lowest point of the structure. Make sure that the horizontal starting line is perfectly level and square with the wall. Leave a 2 1/2(6,35cm) gap at each extremity of the wall when using decorative corners. If you have a wall with a floor you must leave a gap of 1 1/4(3,18cm) between starter and floor. If there is no floor, the starter is flush with the base of the wall (Figure A).
2- Cut the left side of the panel in a straight line. Insert the panel into starter strip and slide it in the J-trim corner. 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.
When using decorative corners: Refer to corners installation instructions for cutting distance from the end of the wall (Figure B).
3- After positionning each panel at the proper spacing, nail in the center hole (the panel will move evenly in both directions in case of retraction or expansion). If the panel is installed on a furring wall, a furring strip is required behind this hole (Figure C). N.B. If a piece of a panel does not have the initial center hole directly in the middle, drill a new center hole of 1/8 (0,32cm) diameter at the same height as the other installation holes. Each full panel should use a minimum of 5 nails.
Panel with single temperature line (Figure D.0)
4.0- Install the following panel by hooking it into the starter strip and sliding over the previous panel. Make sure that the tabs on both sides are locked together and spaced equally. If installed at outdoor temperature over 40 ΊF (5 ΊC), slide panel to the stoppers (located at the rear panel). When resistance is felt, do not force insertion of part. Use the reference line to confirm the position. If installed at outdoor temperature under 40 ΊF (5 ΊC), adjust the panel to the temperature line indicated (Figure D.0).
Panel with multiple temperature lines (Figure D.1)
4.1- Install the following panel by hooking it into the starter strip and sliding over the previous panel. Make sure that the tabs on both sides are locked together and spaced equally. Refer to vertical lines that show the outside temperature the closest to that during installation (Figure D.1).
5- Start the second row by cutting the first panel with 16(40,6cm) increment from the cutting line of the first row. Slide the hooks located at the bottom of the panel into the top of the previously installed row (Figure E). Proceed with this row and subsequent ones following steps 3 and 4 taking care with each new row to alternate the position of the cut on the first panel. Be sure to align the panels to keep the effect of real brick.
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 3/8(0,96cm)long slots (Figure F); 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.
Decorative corners installation
1- Installation of these decorative corners may begin after you have finished installing the starter strips on two adjacent walls.
- N.B. To ensure optimal installation and appearance, make sure that starter strips of both adjacent walls are at the same height.
2- Install a first corner base on corners of two adjacent walls. Leave a space of about 1/4 (0,64cm) between the bottom of the corner base and the starter strip (Figure G.1). Slide in the first panels of a row at a distance of 1/4 (0,64cm) from the corner base. This will allow for movement caused by expansion or contraction of the material (Figure G.2).
3- Before beginning the next row, check (without attaching the facing) if the height of the corner is level to that of the coverings. It is normal for mortar lines not to line up, but line up the bottom of pieces (Figure H). Fasten corner facings completely only after the two adjacent walls have been completed.
4- Install the next corner base by sliding it over the first until it is supported by it (Figure I). Fasten the corner base on the corner of the wall and begin the second row. Repeat up to the top of the wall taking care that with each new row, the corners height lines up with coverings.
5- Once all walls have been completed, fasten the corner facings onto their bases (Figure J). Tip: Firmly position the clips in their sockets and push evenly with both hands on the front edge of the corner.
- If you need to set the siding at an area other than the oblong nail hole, at a concealed spot on the panel, drill a hole larger than the nail body but smaller than the nail head to allow the expansion/contraction movement.
* Do not set accessories directly on the siding. The fasteners must be fixed on a solid surface.
