Install the siding panel, making sure the lugs from the snap lock punch lock into the utility trim. How to install vertical siding and how it varies from horizontal panel installation. Install a J-channel along the chalkline as a receiver for the vertical siding.
Find the center of each sidewall and use a level or plumbline to install two back-to-back J-channels. These will serve as starter strips in which to lock the vertical siding. A furring strip should be installed to prevent panel detachment. If the panel is cut on the flat surface, install undersill trim, backed by furring, into the J-channel. The flat surface of the vertical siding should be snaplock-punched and fitted into the undersill trim. The panel is further secured above and below the windows and above the door when the panel is fastened in place.
If the panel is cut in the bottom of the V-groove, insert it into the J-channel. A furring strip should be provided prior to panel insertion to prevent detachment. Sidewalls To create a balanced appearance, divide the length of the wall by the exposure of the vertical panel to be used. Make sure to allow for proper depth in the receiving channels of the accessories at both ends when measuring. To install the siding, if partial panels are required, mark the line to cut by measuring from the edge of the lock of the panel and cut the panel to the proper width.
This will leave a panel with an intact nail hem and proper exposure. What you need to know about installing soffit. Preparation Inspect and plan your job in advance. Step 3: Insert the panel into the channel on the wall, then into the channel at the fascia board.

If necessary, install nailing strips to provide backing for the lineal. Miter cut the corner soffit panels and install as in Step 3. Step 5: To complete the installation, apply utility trim and fasten the aluminum fascia cap or formed aluminum coil stock with painted trim nails. If necessary to face nail fascia, drill holes for the trim nails to allow for expansion and to reduce denting of the aluminum.
To complete the installation, follow steps 3 through 5 from the open eaves installation instructions listed above. How to replace a damaged panel. To remove a panel for any reason, follow the steps below: Slip a zip lock or unlocking tool behind the bottom lock of the panel above the one to be replaced and unzip it from the lock on the damaged panel.

Infographic Productivity — Engineered for Easy Installation Vinyl siding is purposefully designed for ease of installation. Vinyl siding should be installed over a continuous water-resistive barrier to stop the intrusion of incidental water.
Refer to Important Notes for more information on water-resistive barriers. Check your local building code for requirements in your geographic area.
Code-compliant flashing should be integrated with the water-resistive barrier and applied around windows, doors, and other openings.
Flashing should also be applied to inside and outside corners, and the intersection of walls and roofing to prevent water infiltration. Download the estimating worksheet here. Use aluminum, galvanized steel, or other corrosion-resistant nails, staples, or screws when installing vinyl siding.
Aluminum trim pieces require aluminum or stainless steel fasteners. When the fastener must penetrate through a non-nailable material such as foam sheathing, the thickness of that material does not count toward the total. Whether using a nail, screw, or staple to fasten the siding, the following basic rules must be followed:. Screw fasteners can be used if the screws do not restrict the normal expansion and contraction movement of the vinyl siding panel on the wall.
If staples are being used instead of nails or screws, consult your local building codes. The manufacturer may permit the use of staples as an alternative to nails. Be sure to observe any limitations with respect to the wind load design pressure rating when the siding is installed with staples.
The staples must Fig. Figure 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 water-resistive barrier should be applied to the house prior to installing vinyl siding. Consult your local building code for requirements in your geographic area. Make sure that any furring strips are thick enough to provide this penetration depth, or cover them with wood sheathing to provide the needed depth.

How to Measure Estimating Required Materials All houses can be broken down into shapes of rectangles or triangles, or a combination of both. The area to be sided can be determined by measuring the height and width of the house, including windows Fig.
Total all of the measurements for the areas to be sided. There are several options of starter strip available for starting vinyl siding. The more that the foundation is covered by the starter strip, the better the siding is going to protect the house against rain, snow, and anything else that nature throws at it. Level it Out Carefully Properly installed siding needs to be leveled. When you first get going with the project, snap a level chalk line all around the base of your home where the first run of siding will go.
This is to help get your installation straight. Then throughout your project, take the time to level things out about once every five courses to keep things going properly. This is to help with expansion during the summer months, to keep your siding from buckling and having other nasty problems along the way.
Instead, rely on a specialty vinyl blade. The blade arranges the teeth backwards so that the cut is smoother. This cuts down on chipping and other issues during standard cutting and makes the project go much more effectively overall.
