Securing Panels Around
Windows
• Measure and cut panels around
windows, allowing ¼˝ into all win-
dow channels for movement. (see
Figure 16).
• Make sure to install water diverters
at the bottom corners of the
window (refer to Basic Accessory
Installation Section “Installing
J-Channel, Flex-J and Flashing”).
• Use a nail slot punch to create nail
slots every 8˝ on the cut edge of the
panel.
• Furr as needed.
• Slide panel into window channel.
• Pull up tight and nail according
to “NAILING PROCEDURES”
(window channel must conceal
nail-heads).
Installation Tip: A nail set can be
used to ease installation.
Installing Final Course
NOTE: A crown molding, J-channel
or wide window casing can be used in
eaves and gables to receive the final
course (see Figure 17).
• Measure the required width for
last course less ¼˝ to allow for panel
movement.
• Cut panel height as required.
• Punch nail slots every 8˝.
• Nail through center of slots.
NOTE: Furring may also be required.
