Second course
Remove 13-1/4" of the left side measured from the upper
panel, cutting straight through the lower panel course.
(Note the small mark on the face of the panel.) Drill a
3/16" hole in the center of the nail hem and nail the siding
through this hole to control the direction of expansion
and contraction.
NOTE: The 13-1/4" spacing provides the farthest
separation of overlapping courses.
For easier application of complete panels, 1/4" vertical lines
have been added to the top edge of the nail flange for quick
initial alignment. Simply align the right edge of the upper panel
with one of the vertical alignment marks on the lower course.
However, always use the temperature indicator marks on the
right side of the upper panels for final alignment.
Restoration Shapes Half-Rounds may also be installed by
sliding the right panel up while ensuring the side lock tabs
engage with the flange of the left panel. This method is useful
when installing panels into cornerposts and J-channel around
windows and doors.
Continue to stagger panel courses, alternating each time to
ensure a random shingle pattern up the wall.
