Installation Instructions

CertainTeed Vinyl Siding Installation Guide

For installations that include sofﬁt

Nail the undersill trim in place along the top of the fascia board.

Then nail F-channel along the bottom outside surface of the fascia

board (shown).

The fascia panel will have to be rip cut to ﬁt over the fascia board

and F-channel. To determine the width of the panel, measure from

the slot in the undersill trim to the bottom of the F-channel. Deduct

1/4" and cut (shown).

Use a snap lock punch to create tabs 1/8" below cut edge. Punch

tabs every 6", with the tabs raised on the outside face of the panel.

Install the panel by hooking the bottom of the fascia panel under

the F-channel and pushing the top into the undersill trim (shown).

Continue to install the fascia as described on the previous page.

Aluminum fascia

The techniques used to install aluminum fascia panels are similar to

those used with vinyl—with three exceptions.

There is no special undersill trim to use with aluminum fascia.

Aluminum fascia is made without nail slots, so you have to

pay attention to proper nailing techniques. And corners are

handled differently.

Install drip edge, gutter, or all-purpose trim along the top of the

fascia board to receive the top edge of the fascia panel.

Slip the fascia panel in place. Then nail the underside of the panel.

Nail every 24", keeping the nails lined up with the sofﬁt V-grooves.

For best appearance, ﬁrst drill a slightly oversized hole. Nail the

fascia with painted trim nails, using a light touch.

At the outside corners, bend a 1" ﬂange at a 90° angle so it turns

the corner. Then cut the overlapping fascia at a 45° angle. Position

the panels and nail.

NOTE: If you need a piece of nonstandard size fascia, use a

portable brake to form it from aluminum trim sheet. Install

and nail using the same techniques you used with standard

fascia panels.
