Frieze Board

You can create a frieze-board appearance using the 3-1/2" lineals in combination with new construction window starter or J-channel used as a starter.

You will need: 3-1/2" or 5" lineals and new construction window starter or J-channel.

Position the short leg of new construction window starter against the soffit or overhang and nail it in place.

Snap the lineal onto the locking edge of the new construction window starter between the starter and the soffit/overhang, and nail it in place.

Trim 1-1/2" from the return leg of the overlapping lineal. Make a cut 1-1/2" at the 90° bend of the lineal face and inside (locking) edge. Trim 1-1/2" from the nail flange and receiving channel. Overlap the lineals 1" by fitting the notched lineal over the un-notched lineal.

An alternative to using new construction window starter is to use 1/2" J-channel as a starter. Install the J-channel with the back edge against the soffit or overhang. Then slide the lineal over the J-channel.

Decorative Sunbursts

Sunbursts are not a product. They are an installation technique you can use to create an outstanding decorative finish at major accent areas such as gable ends or over garage door openings. Creating a decorative sunburst isn’t difficult, but it does take patience and attention to detail. If you’re ready for a professional challenge, add a sunburst to your next installation.

NOTE: Because each sunburst installation involves unique dimensions and angles, the following instructions outline the basic technique. You must adapt these instructions to your specific installation.
