2. Corner Boards
We recommend butt joints
for easy installation. Double
nail into framing every
24". To create a tight joint
between the two corner
boards, drive an additional
nail along the outer side
of the overlapping corner
board every 16". Apply a
bead of sealant to the joints
between siding or other
material and corner boards.
3. Decorative Column
We recommend butt
joints for easy installation in the same manner as the corner board
installation. Create an air cavity using shims or an equivalent
between the column and the trim board. make sure that drainage is
allowed for at bottom of column. Apply a sealant joint on the corners
where the boards meet.
This is a guideline for painting and finishing Trim Boards. Consult a
paint professional for specific “how-to” instructions and additional
materials. During manufacturing of primed products, a waterborne
primer is applied for good paint film adhesion and some wood
protection during shipping, handling and installation.
We recommend finishing trim boards as soon as possible after
installation or within 90 days during favorable weather conditions.
Trim boards must be clean and dry before finishing. If necessary, clean
with a mild soap and water and let dry. Use a good quality exterior
grade acrylic latex paint. Apply finish according to the manufacturers
instructions.
Basic Finishing recommendations:
• Do not attempt painting/finishing in wet weather or any extreme
environmental conditions.
• The normal temperature range recommended by paint
manufacturers is 50°-85°. After finish application, the temperature
should not drop below the minimum for at least four hours. Some
products have a wider temperature range.
• The relative humidity should be below 85%.
• paint/finish in a dust free location that is well lit, but not in direct
sunlight and allows plenty of ventilation.
• Fill all nail holes with wood putty, allow to dry and sand smooth.
• multiple light coats are generally better than one heavy coat.
4. Window & Door Trim
Install trim boards leaving
a 1/4"- 3/8" expansion gap
between the trim boards
and the window or door,
and siding. Fasten trim
boards 24" apart using a
staggered nail pattern and
double nail at the joints as
shown. Apply sealant to all
joints between trim boards,
between trim and siding
and between trim and the
window frame.
5. Band Board
If the run requires more than one piece, cut a miter joint and leave a
1/8" gap between the pieces to allow for expansion and contraction.
Fasten trim boards 24" apart and double nail all joints.

Wood care includes proper finishing and refinishing of the wood's
finish as needed. Biannual inspections are sufficient for most areas;
however, coastal areas require monthly inspections because of moisture
and salt in the air. Clean exposed wood surfaces with mild soap and
water. For stubborn stains on painted surfaces, consider lightly sanding
and refinishing, or contact a paint professional for recommendations.
Immediately repair scratches, voids or cracks in painted surfaces or
sealant joints.
