Do not bridge floors with HardieTrim Battens and/or HardiePanel Siding.
A horizontal joint should always be created between floors.
!
WARNING
HORIZONTAL JOINT TREATMENT
1. If HardieTrim Battens are going
to be installed over horizontal
panel joints without the use of
a horizontal band board, follow
the procedure as illustrated in fig.
8.30. Start installing HardieTrim
Battens by creating a weather-
cut of at least a 22.5° angle,
making a joint at the same
location as the panel joint. Attach
the bottom batten. Make sure
the top batten has a matching
weather-cut and then install top
batten.
2. If HardieTrim Battens are to be
installed over horizontal panel
joints with the use of a horizontal
band board, follow the procedure
as illustrated in fig. 8.31. If
HardieTrim Battens are to be
installed horizontally, they must be
installed in the same manner as in
fig. 8.31. Make sure the horizontal
Z-flashing is installed over both
the lower panel and the horizontal
band board. Attach the bottom
batten tight to the bottom edge
of the band board. Next, leaving
a minimum ¼ in gap above the
horizontal Z-flashing, install the top
batten.
