See pages 86 and 87.

Note: Do not drive center-pin nails tight. Leave 1/8"–1/16" between the nail head and the panel to allow the panel to move freely during normal expansion and contraction.

First course

If you are planning to use mitered corners, you MUST use an A + B cut pattern to start each course. This pattern ensures proper fit into mitered corners.

Strike a level line around the house and install Cedar Impressions Metal Starter. If you plan to use Mitered Cornerpost, make sure the starter strip is installed to the edge of the corner. An alternative method of starting Cedar Impressions is to use J-channel in place of starter strip to receive the bottom edge of the panel.

Create a straight edge on the right side of the panel by cutting the top shingle so it is flush with the bottom shingle. Cut the end of the top course of the panel at indicator “A,” which is located above the nail slots.

Starting on the right side of the wall, hook the bottom locking leg of the panel into the starter strip and slide panel into the corner- post or receiving channel. Leave 1/4" space between the panel and the corner for expansion. If you are planning to install the Mitered Cornerpost, space the panel 3" from the corner.

Fasten the panel to the wall by first nailing through the round center hole in the nailing hem at the top of the panel. Continue nailing the panel with 5 nails: one in the right-end nail slot and one at each of the QuickReference™ Nail Mark Indicators. Leave 1/8" to 1/16" between the nail heads and the panel to allow freedom of movement during normal expansion and contraction.

Install the next panel by positioning it below the starter strip and next to the first panel. Push in and up to lock the panel into the starter strip and the side tabs of the first panel. Space the second panel according to the panel temperature at the corresponding temperature indicator lines.

Nail the panel into position starting with the round center hole and then placing the next nail in the right-end nail slot (which overlaps the previous panel’s left-end slot) so that the nail goes through both panels’ nail slots simultaneously.

Continue nailing the rest of the panel.

Continue to install remaining panels of first course as described.

When a window or doorway breaks a course, continue the application as if the opening were not there.
