Inside Cornerposts

There are three options for trimming inside corners: Standard 3/4" inside cornerpost, single J-channel, and two J-channels.

To flash the inside corner, bend a 20"-wide piece of aluminum coil stock 90° so you have two 10" legs. Insert the flashing into the corner. If you use more than one piece of flashing, overlap the upper pieces of the flashing over the lower pieces.

To install inside cornerpost, hang the post from the top of the eave. The bottom should extend 3/4" below the starter strip. Remove the bottom 3/4" of the nailing flange so it does not show below the siding. Set the post straight and true. Position the top nail in the top of the nailing slot. All other nails should be in the center

If you have to splice the inside cornerpost, cut 1" off all but the outer face of the lower post. Lap 3/4" of the upper post over the lower post, leaving 1/4" for expansion.

If you are using two pieces of J-channel instead of inside cornerpost, flash the corner with a 10" x 10" “L” corner fabricated from aluminum coil stock or any weather-resistant barrier. Hang the J-channel from the top of the eave. The bottom should extend 3/4” below the starter strip. Remove the bottom 3/4" of the nailing flange so that it will not show below the siding. Use the same positioning and nailing guidelines as inside cornerpost.

To create a narrower corner, you can also use a single length of J-channel and flashing. First, install the siding on one wall. Then place the J-channel lightly against the siding and nail it to the substrate on the adjacent wall. Follow the same positioning and nailing guidelines as inside cornerposts.
