Frieze Board
You can create a frieze-board appearance using the 3-1/2"
lineals in combination with new construction window starter
or J-channel used as a starter.
You will need: 3-1/2" or 5" lineals and new construction window
starter or J-channel.
Position the short leg of new construction window starter against
the soffit or overhang and nail it in place.
Snap the lineal onto the locking edge of the new construction
window starter between the starter and the soffit/overhang, and
nail it in place.
Trim 1-1/2" from the return leg of the overlapping lineal. Make a cut
1-1/2" at the 90° bend of the lineal face and inside (locking) edge.
Trim 1-1/2" from the nail flange and receiving channel. Overlap the
lineals 1" by fitting the notched lineal over the un-notched lineal.
An alternative to using new construction window starter is to use
1/2" J-channel as a starter. Install the J-channel with the back
edge against the soffit or overhang. Then slide the lineal over
the J-channel.
Decorative Sunbursts
Sunbursts are not a product. They are an installation technique you
can use to create an outstanding decorative finish at major accent
areas such as gable ends or over garage door openings. Creating
a decorative sunburst isn’t difficult, but it does take patience and
attention to detail. If you’re ready for a professional challenge, add
a sunburst to your next installation.
NOTE: Because each sunburst installation involves unique
dimensions and angles, the following instructions outline the
basic technique. You must adapt these instructions to your
specific installation.
