Installation
Snap-In Trims
Screws
Wood – #8 or #10 X 1-1/4” round washer or truss screws
Concrete – 3/16" x 1-1/4" Flathead screw (Tapcon)
Use corrosion resistant #8/#10 gauge screws with a at-bottomed, low prole
head and a minimum head diameter of 3/8”. For highly corrosive or moist
environments, we recommend the use of stainless-steel screws.
Large & Small Outside Corners are the exception. They are installed with
silicone caulk adhesive to avoid visible screws.
Cutting
Tin snips are the safest and easiest tool to use when cutting trims. For a cleaner
cut, avoid closing the blades at the end of a stroke.
Spacing
It is essential that a minimum of 1/4" clearance is left at the ends of all panels
and trims to allow for expansion and contraction.
Install Order
When installing walls, the following trims should be installed before the panels:
• Bottom of wall J Trim or Base Trim
• Top of wall – J Trim or Inside Cove Corner
• Perimeter of doors and windows – J Trim
Large & Small Outside Corners must be installed after your panels.
Wet Applications (Carwash, Etc.)
Base trim should be used at the bottom of walls in wet applications.
Alternatively, J Trim can be used if ¼" diameter holes are drilled every 16" in the
bottom of the trim for drainage.
