TIP:
HardieTrim Battens with
ColorPlus
®
Technology are shipped with a
protective laminate slip sheet. James
Hardie recommends keeping the protective
sheet in place during cutting and fastening
to reduce damage to the boards. Remove
the protective sheet only after installing
the boards and filling the nail holes with a
colored touch-up pen. Finish nails are
required for ColorPlus products.
HardieTrim
®
Battens are intended to
be used with HardiePanel
®
vertical
siding to achieve a board and batten
look. HardieTrim Battens must be
attached to wood or steel backing
using an approved fastener from
the table below. When installing
HardieTrim Battens, determine
layout and mark where battens
will be attached. To ensure that
HardieTrim Battens are installed
vertically and parallel to each other,
either snap chalk lines or use a level.
When attaching battens ensure that
fasteners are a minimum of 3/4 in.
from edges, 1 in. from ends, and a
maximum of
16 in. o.c.
TIP: James Hardie recommends using stainless steel finish nails when installing
HardieTrim (Trim, Battens, Fascia, etc.) products.
