CAUTION: REMEMBER THAT POLYMER UNDERGOES EXPANSION/CONTRACTION DUE
TO VARIATIONS IN TEMPERATURE.
1- Always begin the installation at the lowest part of the Figure 1
structure, from left to right.
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
provide the requiered gap (Figure 2)
4- Make sure that all pieces are properly joined together
(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 3/4" (1.91 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 3/4" (1,91cm) J-trim on the perimeter. Make sure
that the horizontal starting line is perfectly level (Figure A).
2- Install the first panel in the J-trim. Leave a gap of
1/4"(0,64cm) between the strip and the siding. Make sure
that the row is firmly in place and will not come out of the
J-trim. For a better installation, only cut the bottom of
the first row in straight edge (Figure B).
3- Insert the following panel into the J-trim and slide
it over the previous panel. Make sure to space equally
each panel from one to another. If installed at outdoor
temperature over 40 ºF (5 ºC), slide panel to the stopper
(located to the right of 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 ºF (5 ºC), adjust the panel to the temperature
line indicated (Figure C).
4- Begin the second row by cutting the first panel with
16" (40,6cm) increment from the cutting Iine 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 and
continue up to the summit (Figure D).
INSTALLATION OVER SIDING
1- On the last siding row, remove the nailing channel
and create with a knife, slits 1" (2,54 cm) long, wider than
the body of the nail, but smaller than his head. Nail in
these new slots. Although not set in installation holes,
this type of cutting will allow the expansion / contraction
movement.(Figure A1).
2- Install the starter strip by covering the top of siding
of 3/8" (0,95cm) and nail it at maximum interval of
16" (40,64cm) (Figure B1).
3- Insert the first row in the starter strip. Make sure to space
equally each panel from one to another. If installed at
outdoor temperature over 40 ºF (5 ºC), slide panel to the
stopper (located to the right of 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 ºF (5 ºC), adjust the panel to the temperature line
indicated (Figure C1).
4- Begin the second row by cutting the first panel with
16" (40,6cm) increment from the cutting Iine 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 and
continue up to the summit (Figure D1).

The consumer must provide date of installation and proof of property ownership. The claimant may be required to submit a sample of the defective materials for analysis. Novik inc. will analyze the material claimed to be defective and determine the validity of the claim.
For your protection
Novik inc. siding is a very low maintenance product but is made of polypropylene. Common sense should be used to keep siding from melting or burning. It is important that all sources of heat and flames and combustible materials like dry leaves, trash., be kept away from Novik siding.
If the original homeowner or transferee is shown to have neglected to provide proper maintenance to the siding, this warranty will be null and void.
