Shutter Installation
(A)The ideal application (shown at the top) has a joint between
the two shutters where the shutters are secured to the home.
In this way, the siding panel is not “hard nailed” between the
two shutters and the siding is allowed free movement.
Enlarge the hole in the siding for securing the shutter – the hole
clearance should be approximately 1/8". If possible, stagger
the screws securing the shutter so that they do not line up on
the same panel. It is also a good idea to apply caulk around
the screws.
(B) When there is no joint between shutters where the shutters
are secured to the home (as shown on the bottom), the
shutter’s fasteners do not allow the siding panel to move. The
siding panel then fails to perform because it cannot expand or
contract with the temperature changes.
