NAILING PROCEDURES

• DO NOT NAIL TIGHT

• First, nail through center nail

hole - not nail slot.

• If using partial panel, find center of

nail hem and drive nail through center

of nail hem (not in nail slot).

• Next, nail every 8˝ through center

of four nail slots.

• Last, nail through slot in left tab.

NOTE:When nailing through slots,

always nail center of slot, and DO

NOT NAIL TIGHT. Panels must be

able to move to allow for expansion

and contraction caused by tempera-

ture changes.

FIRST COURSE

NOTE: Panels must be installed form

right to left.

a. Cut the first Panel at “A” ( See

Figure 10).

NOTE: To Provide for panel move-

ment, allow ¼˝ gap at all corner

posts, J-Channels, or other stops.

b. Engage bottom lock firmly into

starter strip. Nail according to

“nailing procedures.”

c. Side the next panel into position.

The top half of the panel, except the

nail hem, slides under, and the bottom

half slides over the previous panel.

(See Figure 11)

NOTE: The amount of panel overlap

is important and varies depending

on air temperature. Check and moni-

tor air temperature when staring to

install the first course on each wall.

See Chart for amount of overlap. (See

Figure 12).

d. Nail according to “Nailing

Procedures.”

e. Install additional full panels,

repeating steps B-D

INSTALLATION

Last Panel on Each Course

• Measure the distance from the cor-

rect line on the temperature gauge

into the corner post, less ¼˝.

• Cut off left end of panel.

• Engage lock into starter strip or

continuous lock of previous course,

pull up tight and nail according to

“NAILING PROCEDURES.”

Installation Tip: Panels will flex to

allow installation. To minimize waste,

cut pieces can be used as starter

pieces on adjacent wall.

Using Alignment lines

NOTE: Temperature gauge is used

only for installation of the first course

on each wall. Do NOT adjust temper-

ature gauge on panels after 1st course

is complete “except when adjusting

panels for windows or last panel of

each course”.
