The following rules, which come up throughout this guide, are critical'for proper vinyl siding installation: The following are absolute "must -do's" for everysiding installation:, 1. Installed, panels must move freely from side to side. Don't nail too tightly. Always allow a minimum of 1/32" space between the back of the head and the nailing hem. Space fasteners 12" -16" apart on center. 2. When installing a siding panel, push up from the bottom until the lock is fully engaged with the piece below it. Without stretching the panel, reach up and fasten it into place. 3. When finishing the top of the wall perforate the cut edge using snap -lock punch approximately every 8", ensuring the "tabs" face outward. 4.

KAYCAI '" 1 11 Preparing to install Preparing your house Proper surface preparation is one of the most important parts of your siding installation job. All exterior wall surfaces must be even, so that your new vinyl siding will be straight, and look sharp. 1. Remove all shutters, downspouts and fixtures. On older homes, replace any rotten wood and securely nail all loose boards, siding and wood trim. Tie back all shrubbery and trees when plantings are close to the house. Remove any old caulking around windows and doors. 2. Flashing: Use aluminum trim coil or other material which will not absorb -water. Apply flashing below, on the sides of, and above (in that order) any openings where water might penetrate. This will help in directing water away from the opening. 3. Installing Furring: Furring or strapping must be applied to create an even base for siding. Apply 1" x 3" (minimum size) wood furring, not more than 16" on centers. Shim low spots to create an even surface. For horizontal vinyl siding, install furring vertically. For vertical siding, install furring horizontally. Place furring along all sides of door and window frames, corners, and top and bottom of areas to be sided. As an alternative, solid sheathing can be applied directly over the old surface to create a smooth base, or over furring to provide even support for the vinyl siding. 4. Housewrap: If required by building codes, apply a weather -resistant barrier over the sheathing. We recommend an approved breather -type code housewrap. 5. Insulation: The ideal time to increase the insulation value of the sidewall is before installing siding. Simply install insulating sheathing over existing siding, over or between the furring strips. 6. Laying the groundwork: Determine a starting point for your siding — it should be the lowest point. Measure at comers, and pull a chalk line across the wall to ensure a level starting position. Plumb comers, and shim if necessary, to ensure they are vertical. Preparing the Walls Furing for horizontal siding Furing for vertical siding Important notes: Weather Resistant Barrier Vinyl siding has always been designed as an exterior cladding, not a weather resistant barrier. Vinyl siding is designed to allow the material underneath it to breathe; therefore, it is not a watertight covering. Because of its design and application, it provides a supplemental rain screen that enhances the weather resistant barrier system by reducing the amount of water that reaches the underlying weather resistant barrier. Preparing the Walls A flat, level wall surface is necessary for proper installation of vinyl siding. Install flashing before starting to apply the siding. Unless already installed, a weather resistant barrier should be applied to the house prior to installing vinyl siding. Always consult local building code for requirements in your area. New Construction . Tip: To reduce the possibility of the floor -plate compression, drywall, roofing, or other heavy building materials should be installed or stored throughout the house prior to the installation of vinyl siding. Floor -plate compression can result in buckled siding at the intersection of the floor and the wall. Residing • Nail down loose boards of existing siding, and replace any rotten ones. Do not install vinyl siding over rotting wood. • Scrape off loose caulk and re -caulk around windows, doors, and other areas to protect from moisture penetration. • Remove all protrusions such as gutters, downspouts, and light fixtures. • Check all walls for evenness and install furring strips where necessary. When installing furring strips, please take appropriate measures to establish a smooth and continuous surface. Note: In cases where the lower portion of a horizontal siding panel must be trimmed so that it may be installed over steps, porches, etc., the panel should be built out ("furred") for proper angle and rigidity. Undersill trim can be used to seal the cut edge of the panel and then secured to the wall. 12 KAYCA/V `" Installing access Before the siding itself can be hung, a n corner posts, window flashing, trim, and Starter -trim • In order for the siding to be installed p of the wall must be level. ries of accessories must be installed first, including starter strips, inels over the roof lines. in a level fashion, the starter strip at the bottom • Determine the lowest point of the wall that(will be sided; from that point, measure up 1/4" less than the width of the starter trim and partially drive a nail at one comer. • Attach a chalkline; go to the next corner and pull the line taut. • Make sure the'line'is level by using a line level or a 4' level. • Snap the chalkline and repeat the procedurle around the entire house. • Optional method to determining the position of the starter trim in new construction and some residing applications: Measure down from the soffit at one corner of the house to the top of the foundation and subtract 1/4" less than the width of the starter strip. Make a mark on the• wall and record the measurement. Transferlthe measurement to the other comer of the wall. Snap a chalk line in between the corners at the marks. Repeat the procedure around the . entire house. • Using the chalkline as a guide, install the top edge of the starter strip along the bottom of the chalkline, nailing at 10" intervals.

The comer post hangs from these nails. • The balance of the nailing should be in the center of the slot, 8" to 12" apart, again leaving 1/32" between the nail head and the comer post. This allows for the expansion and contraction to occur at the bottom. • The corner post should extend 3/4" below the s plumb (i.e., vertically straight). • If more than one length of comer post is required, overlap the upper piece over the lower piece by cutting away 1" of the nailing flange on the top piece.

For windows with nailing flanges, the sealant should be applied to the nailing flange in a manner that covers the nails and nail slots (figure A). • Apply a minimum of 9" wide horizontal sill flashing level with the bottom edge of the existing window by pressing the flashing into the sealant bead at its top edge. • Cut the sill flashing long enough to extend a minimum of 9" beyond each jamb. • Fasten the sill flashing at the bottom and side edges (figure B). • Apply a continuous bead of sealant adjacent to the side jambs of the window. For windows with nailing flanges, the sealant should be applied to the nailing flange in a manner that covers the nails and nail slots. • Continue the bead of sealant at the jambs vertically a minimum of 8 1/2" above the head of the window to allow for bedding the top portion of the jamb flashing into sealant in the next step (figure C). • Install the jamb flashing by pressing the flashing into the sealant beads at the s window jambs. Extend the bottom edge of the jamb flashing approximately 1/2" Fmin short of the sill flashing edge, and extend the top edge approximately 81/2" beyond the head of the window, where the head flashing will be placed next (figure D). :A 4' figure B • Fasten the jamb flashing along the edges further most from the window, s 1rmi •.Apply a.continuous bead of sealant adjacent to the head of the installed window. For windows with nailing flanges, the sealant should be applied to the nailing flange in a manner that covers the nails and nail slots (figure E). • Install the head flashing by pressing the bottom edge of the flashing into the sealant bead previously applied across the mounting flange. • Extend the ends of the head flashing approximately 10" beyond the jamb flashing at each end. Fasten the head flashing into place along the top edge (figure F). Note: Sealant should be compatible with window, flashing, and weather resistant barrier materials.

Make sure the panel is securely locked before fastening. • Fasten the panels in the center of the nailing slots. Allowance should be made for expansion and contraction by leaving a 114" gap between the siding and all comer posts and channels (increase to 3!8" when installing in temperatures below 40° F. If the panels are 20 feet or longer, increase the gap to 3/8". • Do not drive the head of the fastener tightly against the nail slot. Leave 1/32" between the fastener head and the vinyl (about the thickness of a dime). • Do not force the panels up or down when fastening, Panel locks should be fully engaged; however, the panels should not be under vertical tension or compression when they are fastened. • Since vinyl siding moves as the temperature changes, make certain that the vinyl panels can move freely in a side -to -side direction once fastened. weagw-reJqsIz atbarder xE . and Ode imo tocesscry mcemag rk4t Installing the first panel • Check every fifth or sixth course for horizontal alignment. Also check siding alignment with adjoining walls. • When panels overlap, make sure they overlap by one half the length of the notch at the end of the panel, or approximately 1 ". • Stagger the siding'end laps so that no two courses (rows of panels) are aligned vertically, unless separated by at least three courses (rows of panels). • Always overlap joints away from entrances and away from the point of greatest traffic. This will improve the overall appearance of the installation. Fitting siding around fixtures Use a commercially available trim ring to fit siding to a penetration such as a faucet or railing attachment, following the manufacturer's installation instructions. If a commercial trim ring is not available for the application, refer to the figure below, which illustrates how to fit the siding to the penetration. In addition, the following tips are suggested: • If hand -fitting to the fixture, always begin a new course of siding at the fixture to avoid excess lap joints. • Cut an opening 1/4" bigger than the fixture or the trim ring. • When cutting, match the shape and contour of the obstruction. 111_ `—,__,� —_ _ _—_- 'may% ✓f -1 Triming pieces for faucet 19, J-channel detail Siding panel overlap KAYCAN`" m Horizontal sidin Fitting under windows To mark the section to be cut, perform the • Hold the panel under the window and m� Add approximately 1/4" to both sides to These marks represent the vertical cuts. • Lock a small piece of scrap siding into th used as a template for the horizontal cut .

Should more than one length of undersill trim be required, make a splice as shown by cutting away 1" from the back of the undersill trim and lapping the sections, leaving a 1/4" space between nailing strip sections. • If topmost siding panel is trimmed near the butt leg, an undersill trim alone may not be sufficient. • Either combine an undersill trim inside a J-channel, or use an undersill trim molding to hold the siding panel firmly. • A dual undersill trim molding replaces the need for both a J-channel and undersill molding. Simply place the snap -lock punched top panel in the appropriate receiving pocket to keep the proper siding angle. • Another alternative to finishing the top panel of a wall is to use a frieze plate and crown molding. Secure frieze plate (either with or without a soffit receiver), no more than 16" on center. Allow 1/4" between adjoining frieze plates. • Using a nail slot punch, create nail slots every 12" -16" in the top panel of siding and secure normally.

KAYCAN ' 1 23 Vertical siding installation Preparation See section "Preparing to install" before starting. When installing vertical siding, however, follow these additional preparatory steps: • Install horizontal furring strips, 12" on center, or a solid nailable sheathing prior to the siding, if needed, to level the surface or provide sufficient material for 3/4" fastener penetration. • Snap a level chalkline around the base of the sidewalls. Typically, the chalkline is positioned so that the bottom of the J-channel that will serve as a vertical starter strip is 1/4" below the lowest point on the wall that will be sided. • Install J-channel along the chalkline as a receiver for the vertical siding. As with horizontal siding, when installing vertical siding it is necessary to install several accessories first, including corner posts and window, door, and roof trim. Outside and inside corner posts • Leave 1/4" gap at the top of corner posts. • Place the first nails in the uppermost end of the top nail slots to hold them in position. Place all other nails in the center of the slots. Nails should be 8" to 12" apart. • Corner posts should extend 3/4" below the siding. Do not nail tightly; the comer post should move. Bottom receiver • Position the top edge of a J-channel or vertical base along the previously snapped chalkline. Remember to drill minimum 1/8" diameter weep holes no more than 24" apart. • Fasten every 8" to 12". Use the center of the nail slots. All vinyl should be fastened securely but not tightly. Sideways movement should not be restricted. Leave 1/4" gaps at the corner posts. Where lengths adjoin, trim the nailing flange 1" and overlap 1/2" to produce a neat joint. Window, door, and roof trim Install J-channel at the tops of the sidewalls. At the gable ends, snap a level chalkline along the base of the gable and install J-channel. Overlap where necessary and allow for expansion. After installing flashing, trim around all windows and doors using J-channel. The following sequence is suggested:_ • Cut a J-channel for the bottom of the window, as wide as the frame, and install it. • Cut side J-channels the length of the frame plus the width of the top and bottom J-channel. Cut and bend tabs into the bottom channel. Install the side channels. • Cut the top J-channel the width of the frame PLUS the width of the side J-channels. Notch the top J-channel on each end, bend the tabs into the side J-channel, and fasten the top J-channel. • A miter cut and tab can be provided at the bottom of the window depending on the sill's condition. ctx cast. ,mekmemq ssi , - una�r� taut j , yerlptnot snap -J, tab Y... ha r�g 11B (reap t�3�3 full s3ut� . cst am— cent, rb ,�'y taSt°19tS Starting the wall Outside comer detail i 119, gap t• tab Splicing J-channels Inside comer detail Wall ending detail 24 ICAYCA/V Vertical siding Sidewalls starter strip • Create a vertical starter strip by cuttin off a vertical siding panel.

Vinyl siding cleanup Although vinyl siding will get dirty, like anything exposed to the atmosphere, a heavy rain will do wonders in cleaning it. Or, it's possible to wash it down with an ordinary garden hose. If neither rain nor hosing does a satisfactory job, follow these simple instructions: 1. Use an ordinary, long -handled car washing brush. This brush has soft bristles, and the handle fastens onto the end of the hose. It allows the siding to be washed just like a car. Avoid'using stiff bristle brushes or abrasive cleaners, which may change the gloss of the cleaned area and cause the siding to look spotty. 2. To remove soot and grime found in industrial areas, wipe down the siding with a solution made up of the following: a. 1/3 cup powdered detergent (e.g., Tide®, or equivalent powder detergent)* b. 2/3 cup powdered household cleaner (e.g., Spic & Span@, or equivalent)* c. 1 gallon water. 3.
