Butt End/Joint Application:
Fastening to stud or framing member
NOTE: Pin-backed corners may be done for aesthetic purposes only. Allura
recommends using finish nails for pin-backs but siding nails may also be used. Place
sheathing or framing.
NOTE: Pin-backs are not a substitute for blind or face nailing.
Butt End/Joint Covers
Lap siding butt joint covers, or H-covers, may be used for aesthetic purposes and
are available in different sizes and designs. If you choose to use a joint cover, use
the correct size for the siding that you are installing. Follow the specific joint cover
manufacturer’s instructions. Regardless of joint cover design:
Uncoated metal joint covers are not acceptable.
All field-cut edges at butt joints must be re-sealed with 100% acrylic latex paint or
primer prior to installation.
Flash butt and end joints with durable, non-corrosive material that is compatible
with fiber cement.
