Installation Instructions
Allura Fiber Cement Siding Installaon Manual
15
Do not use framing nail guns to apply fiber
cement because they will over drive nails.
Do not use finishing nail guns or staplers.
Allura Fiber Cement Siding can be hand nailed. Do not over drive the nail; seat the
bottom of the nail head flush with the surface of the board. When hand nailing
face-nailed rake-angle cuts, you may have to predrill the holes.
We recommend using an EZi gauge - FC Model (https://wellsdesigntoolco.com) to
maintain proper nail placement when blind nailing.
