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.
