CertainTeed Vinyl Siding Installation Guide

Second course

Cut off of the right side of the D9 shakes at indicator “B,” which is located above the nail slots, cutting straight through the panel. Drill a 3/16" hole in the center of the nail hem and nail the siding through this hole to control the direction of expansion and contraction. Another option is to nail each end of a nail slot located at the center of the panel.

Starting on the right side of the wall, hook the bottom locking leg of the panel into the previous course and slide the panel into the cornerpost or receiving channel. Leave 1/4" space between the panel and the corner for expansion.

Set the spacing of the remaining panels using the PanelThermometer and temperature indicator lines.

Continue to stagger panel courses, alternating each time to ensure a random shingle pattern up the wall.

Installing under a window or opening

Install Cedar Impressions undersill trim. Cut the panel to fit under the window. Drill a 3/16" hole in the upper center of the panel. Using a snap lock punch, raise tab faces on the outside of the panel 1/4" from the trimmed edge, 6" apart. Lock the panel into the previous course, and center nail the siding through the 3/16" hole drilled earlier. (Center nailing controls the direction of the panel’s expansion and contraction.)

Lock the panel into place.

Installing over a window or opening

Cut the panel to fit over the window by measuring from the locking tab of the previous row to the bottom of the receiving pocket. Add 1/8" to this measurement. Turn the panel over and, using this measurement, measure from the bottom of the return leg. Cut the panel to this dimension.

Install the cut panel by positioning the panel over the window

and into the receiving pocket. Lock the cut panel into the previous course by pushing in and up. The cut edge should be 1/4" below the top of the receiving pocket.

Finishing the top course

See instructions on page 65.

Installing Cedar Impressions Mitered Cornerpost

Install the siding on both sides of the wall before you install the cornerpost. Space the siding 3" from the edge of the corner. The corners are designed to fit over the panels that are used to start a new course. If you have followed the A + B cut pattern, the mitered cornerpost will fit easily over the panels. Lock the first corner over the siding, making sure it also locks into the starter strip. The top of the corner must be in line with the top of the panel. Nail the corner through the top two nail slots.

The right-side corner gap has cut marks at 1/8" increments; they allow you to fit the corner to the different panel heights you may encounter as you finish a course. Trim the corner gap as needed to fit the panel.

To finish the top of the cornerpost with cornice molding

 

and cornice cap, see page 106 to 107.
