CertainTeed Vinyl Siding Installation Guide

Cornerposts

Install outside and inside cornerposts using dimensions and procedures described on pages 38–41.

NOTE: Unlike the preparation for horizontal siding, do not install a starter strip for vertical siding.

Top and Bottom J-Channel

Snap a base line 1" above the low part of the house. Apply J-channel along the top and bottom of the walls to receive the siding panels. Install the bottom J-channel (illustration 1A). Overlap J-channels 3/4". To do this, cut out a 1" section of the nailing flange and face return (see illustration 2).

If you prefer to use drip flashing with the J-channel along the bottom of the wall, fabricate the lengths you’ll need from aluminum coil stock of a color to match the siding (see illustration 1B).

1"

 

3/4"

Install inverted J-channel along the top of the wall, under the eave. Here again, leave a 1/4" gap between J-channel and cornerposts. Overlap J-channels 3/4" to allow for expansion. When positioning the upper J-channel, be sure to allow for expansion of the siding panel. In most cases, position the J-channel at a point equal to the length of the panel plus 5/8" (1/4" for upper expansion and 3/8" for lower expansion).

Soffit

If you’re going to install soffit, you may want to install the receiving channels for the soffit at this point.

The illustrations show alternative approaches for installing siding and soffit receiving channels.
