Finishing siding with Cornice Molding
and Receiver
Finishing the last course of siding with Cornice Molding
To finish the top course of siding, attach cornice receiver to the top
of the wall under the eave or soffit. Trim the top panel to within 1/4"
of the cornice receiver. Using a nail slot punch, punch nail slots
1/4" from the trimmed edge, 16" apart. Nail off the top course
and snap the cornice molding into the cornice receiver.
Finishing siding in a rake application with
Cornice Molding
When using cornice molding and receiver in a rake, shimming
the receiver away from the wall may minimize rippling of the face.
Cut a piece of shim material the full length of the cornice receiver
and fasten shim material to the wall. Apply receiver over shim;
then finish installing siding product and cornice molding as you
normally would.
