ALTERNATIVE FASTENING OPTION:
ATTACHING TRIM AS BATTEN STRIPS
• In cases where trim/batten strips
are fastened just into the structural
sheathing, attachment will require
additional support from a construction
adhesive.
• First, secure the trim to the structure
while the construction adhesive
completely cures, using hot-dipped
galvanized ring-shanked nails no smaller
than 0.091 inch shank diameter.
• Second, use an exterior grade
construction adhesive that meets the
following specications.
Construction Adhesive Specications:
• Minimum bond strength: 300 psi
• Minimum application temperature: 40° F
• Paintable grade
INSTALLATION
• When attaching trim as batten strips,
follow the Fastening Instructions section
in this document.
• Exception: When using trim less than 3
inches wide as battens, apply only one
nail per width, a maximum of every 36
inches vertically.
• When batten strips are applied over
panel siding at vertical joints, sealant is
not required.
• When batten strips are applied to walls
with horizontal panel joints, do not run
battens over the panel joint and ashing.
Terminate the trim battens above and
below the horizontal panel joint to allow
for proper spacing and ashing.
(See
diagrams 10a and 10b)
• When batten strips are applied to walls
with horizontal band boards be sure to
properly ash above and below the band
board. Leave a minimum 3/8 inch space
between the ends of the batten strips and
the band board. Prime and paint all cut
ends and exposed substrate. Z-ashing
installed below the band board must
cover the top ends of the batten strips
below.
