Fastening
Millennium siding is different from other vinyl siding in that it is
OK to drive the fastener up tight against the flexible hem. The
PermaFlex cable system transmits the load to the panel and
allows the panel to expand and contract with changes in
temperature.
Fastener Location
Colored strands along the solid band of the flexible nail hem
identify the fastener target zone. The black strand indicates
the center of the target, while the red lines indicate the upper
and lower ranges of the zone. These limits are important to
ensure the panel has enough freedom to compensate for
temperature-related panel movement.
16" STUDNailing ™ Indicator
Nails or staples must not be installed closer than 16" o.c. To
ensure proper nailing, STUDNailing
™ Indicator arrows are
printed at 16" intervals along the Millennium panel. Fastening
the panel at these arrows will ensure consistent nailing.
Fastener Depth
With nails, staples or screws, it is important to not overdrive
the fastener. The fastener should be driven flush with the
substrate, not drawing the fabric into the substrate. This is
important especially over foam substrates as excessive
fastener penetration will draw the fabric in and limit its ability
to compensate for panel movement. The fabric cannot be
driven into the substrate more than 1/16".
Panel Lock
Millennium’s Grip-Lock ™ feature allows the panel to snap and
lock positively into place. To allow for expansion and
contraction:
• Do not pull on the panel as you lock it into place.
• Make sure the PermaFlex cables are straight.
