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 installation holes. These holes include
a polymer film, which permits for precise centering of nail,
allowing the expansion and contraction of the material. Each
complete panel must be nailed by 5 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 must be able to 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 provides the
required gap. (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 the J-trim and the siding. Use standard
1’’(2,54cm) J-trim. (Figure 4)
Note: To cut the material, it is recommended to use a circular saw with
a finishing blade.
General Informati
1- Install a starter strip at the lowest point of the wall. Make sure
that the horizontal starting line is perfectly level and square with
the wall. Leave a 1 1/2’’(3,81cm) gap at each extremity of the
wall and above the lowest point of the wall. (Figure A)
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 3 1/2“(8,89cm) 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- On each panel, hammer a nail into the center hole of the
panel (Figure C), this will ensure even movement of panel in
both directions during expansion/contraction. Also hammer a
nail into the last hole on both ends. If the panel is installed on a
furring wall, a furring strip is required behind these holes.
- N.B.: If a panel piece does not have the initial center hole 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 length
panel should be secured with a minimum of 5 nails.
4- 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 40ºF (5ºC), 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 40ºF (5ºC), adjust the
panel to the temperature line indicated. (Figure D)
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
finish one wall before beginning another.
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”(1,27cm)(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.
7- The installation of corners begins once you have completed
two adjacent walls.
- N.B. For proper installation and optimal corner appearance,
make sure that the ends of siding panels finish at 3 1/2“(8,89cm)
from the corner of the wall and at an equivalent height.
8- For the first corner, insert the hooks into the starter strip (G.1)
and be sure to overlap the ends of each row’s panels. Fold back
the top of the part toward the corner of the wall (G.2), then nail
through the oblong holes (G.3). (Figure G)
9- For all subsequent corners, insert the hooks into the nailing strip
of the previous corner. Fold back the top of the corner toward the
wall, then nail through the oblong holes. Repeat this step to the
top of the wall. (Figure H)
10- 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 I)
- If you need to set the siding at an area other than the oblong nail
hole or to set accessories on siding, at a concealed spot on the
panel create a new slot 1/2”(1,27cm) larger than the nail body
but smaller than the nail head to permit expansion/contraction.
* Do not set accessories directly on the siding. The fasteners must
be fixed on a solid surface.
