PRODUCT INSTALLATION RECOmmENDATIONS
• Use proper building practices when integrating trim boards with
areas of the building designed to shed water to the exterior. Where
applicable, install flashing in a shiplap manner to intercept and direct
the flow of water away from the building to designed drainage paths.
Install horizontal flashing extending from the top of all windows and
doors and where there is any change in material or direction. The
flashing should tilt downward to allow water to drain away from the
wall.
• Trim Boards are a non structural decorative trim product and should
not be used where structural lumber is required or for decking, fences
or planters. The trim boards are designed to be applied to structural
framing, sheathing and other materials.
• Install Trim Boards so they will not contact the ground, backfill, sod,
mulch, etc. or anyplace that collects water.
• Do not install where water sprinklers can regularly wet Trim Boards.
• Install in a manner that allows water to easily run off and not become
trapped behind Trim Boards.
• All horizontal unflashed profiles (e.g., window sills, water table trim,
bead and mouldings) must be sloped to ensure proper drainage.
Failure to install trim boards according to the recommendations
in these instructions could result in denial of warranty claims for
operational or performance problems.
NEEDED mATERIALS
Note! Follow all material manufacturers’ instructions for proper use
and compatibility.
