panel temperature indicator lines

“A”

CertainTeed Vinyl Siding Installation Guide

NOTE: If two temperature cells on the PanelThermometer show a color change, use the brighter color as the indicator.

Each panel has a patented PanelThermometer™ that displays panel temperature and indicator lines that serve as guides for proper spacing between the panels. The PanelThermometer is located on the upper right-hand corner of the panel; the indicator lines are on the upper left-hand corner.

Note that the panel temperature may change throughout the day. Space the panels according to the panel temperature at the time of installation.

The cells on the PanelThermometer will change color to indicate the temperature of the panel.

If the brightest cell is between the numbered temperature cells, position the panel between the corresponding temperature indicator lines. Example: If the Panel-Thermometer reads 65, align the second panel to the 65 temperature indicator line on the first panel. If the cell between the 65 and 100 is brighter, position the panel between the 65 and 100 temperature indicator lines.

First course

Strike a level line around the house and install Cedar Impressions Metal Starter.

If you plan to use Cedar Impressions Mitered Cornerpost, make sure the starter strip is installed to the edge of the corner. An alternative method of starting Cedar Impressions is to use J-channel in place of starter strip to receive the bottom edge of the panel.

Cut the end of the top course of the panel at indicator “A,” which is located above the nail slots.
