Using Restoration Millwork® in Place of Vinyl Accessories

Installing outside corners

Flash the corners of the home by bending a 20" wide piece of aluminum trim coil 90° so you have two 10" legs. Cover the entire length of the corner, lapping the upper pieces over the lower pieces. (Self-adhering flashing may be substituted for trim coil. Follow manufacturer’s installation instructions and observe local building code requirements.)

Position the outside cornerpost with the top of the post 1/8" from the underside of the eave and the bottom of the cornerpost 3/4" below the starter strip. Make sure posts are straight and true before fastening. For advice regarding fastening, please refer to “Restoration Millwork Installation Guidelines” (RM003), available online or where Restoration Millwork is sold.

NOTE: It may be necessary to shim or furr out the corners and/or window casings to get the proper pocket height. Always use shimming/furring materials, like Restoration Millwork, that will not rot or decay.

Installing Trimboards around windows

Flash the window according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Once the opening is properly flashed, begin by measuring

the width of the bottom edge of the window and, using this measurement, cut the first section of Restoration Millwork. Apply this piece to the bottom of the window, verifying each end of the section lines up with the edge of the window prior to fastening.

To determine the length of the trim along the sides of the window, measure each side of the window starting at the top of the window and dropping down to the bottom edge of the first piece of millwork applied. Using these measurements, cut the second and third sections of Restoration Millwork. Apply these pieces to the left and right sides of the window, verifying that the top edge of each section lines up with the top of the window and the bottom edge of each section lines up with the bottom edge of the first piece of trim already applied.

To determine the length of the top piece of trim, begin at the left side of the left piece of trim and measure to the right side of the right piece of trim. This measurement should equal the width of the window plus two times the actual width of the trimboards being applied. Cut the final piece of trim and apply it at the top of the window, again verifying that the left and right edges of the cut section line up with the left and right edges of the trimboards in place at the sides of the window.

Once the top section of millwork is in place, apply flashing in compliance with local building codes.
