Fitting over windows and doors

The procedure for cutting panels for installation over windows
and doors is similar to that explained earlier.

If necessary to maintain slope angle, install furring above
window or door as explained on page 22.

Drop panel into position, making certain it fits into undersill
trim and J-channel at top and J-channels at sides. Interlock
with the siding panels below.

Fitting at narrow openings between windows

To simplify installation in areas such as that shown in the
illustration, install J-channels on both sides of opening. Bow
the panel toward you and slip into channel.

If the area is very narrow, leave one J-channel unnailed except
at lowest point (as shown). Bend this channel out slightly to
insert panel. When panel is in place and nailed, nail J-channel
immediately above panel and repeat procedure. Be sure to
leave adequate tolerances for expansion and contraction.
