Federal Corners
To create a federal-style corner, flash the corner with aluminum trim
coil or other flashing materials. Hang a new construction starter
strip. Position the top nail in the top of the nailing slot. All other
nails should be centered in the slots spaced 8" to 10" apart.
Position and secure the 3-1/2" lineal.
Position and secure an aluminum starter strip.
Position and secure the 5" lineal.
NOTE: Aluminum starter can be used for both lineals. If the
aluminum starter used for the 5" lineal is not long enough,
fashion a starter using a metal brake and coil stock to a
length that allows for proper nailing into the substrate.
Inside Federal Corners
Flash the corner with aluminum trim coil or other flashing materials.
Position and secure the 5" lineals (or a 3-1/2" lineal) by butting
the lineal up to the inside corner. Using a 5" lineal will create a
symmetric 3-1/2" exposure in the corner. If two 3-1/2" lineals
are used, one exposure will be approximately 2-1/4" and one
will be 3-1/2".
NOTE: Attaching the second lineal will keep the first lineal
in place. You will not need a starter strip. Always position
the top nail in the top of the nailing slot. All other nails
should be centered in the slots spaced 8" to 10" apart.
Position and secure the starter strip.
Position and secure the remaining lineal.
