You need to check the wall position before installing vinyl siding. Check that the wall has no mold, rot or damage. Make sure the surface is dry, clean and flat. To protect against moisture and pour into the house wrap and insulation for longevity.
The vinyl siding installation begins by marking the straight lines around the base of the house using chalk. Now, these stripes with baseline nails, keeping in mind the interval of 1/4-inch at the corners. When dancing in slots and centring nails, maintain 10– to 12 inch gaps between them.
Now you need to install PVC corners at both ends and ensure that they fit properly. Then nails at the top and tweaking downwards. J-channels must also be built around windows, doors and roof lines to support siding panels.
With the strips and channels below, start placing the panels starting from the bottom to top, leaving them loose to 16 inches. Vertical seams with at least one leg between rows to prevent weak spots. Overlap the panels from an inch horizontally. Finally, the level of 3-4 rows is straightforward using a level to ensure the panel.
To trim panels around the barriers such as vents and outlets, use a utility knife or a spherical saw. You can eventually face a situation in which you should cut while considering an angle; For such a cut, score a siding with a knife and snap it. Avoid pressing the panels simultaneously as the vinyl expands and shrinks in response to temperature variation.
To fit under the eaves, complete the top edge of the last row. Finally, secure it with a finishing bandage. Finally, use J-channels to fill the spaces between the siding and the roof.
To avoid buckling, leave 1/4-inch on corners, seams and nails.
The nails should be stretched independently so that the siding can slide the temperature with ups and downs.
When cutting, use a solid ladder and protective gloves/glasses.
Never siding nails directly on the wall; Instead, ensure that the panels are appropriately aligned.
Uneven lines finish messy.
