MOST SUPPLIERS OF VINYL
CLADDING WILL PROVIDE YOU
WITH VERY DETAILED
INSTRUCTIONS ON INSTALLING
VINYL CLADDING.
WHILE PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION ISRECOMMENDED, IT IS POSSIBLE TO
SELF-INSTALL A GREAT LOOKING HOMEEXTERIOR WITH WEATHERBOARD CLADDING
MADE OF VINYL.
TIP #1The installed panels should be able to
move freely from side to side. If they
don’t, it is safe to assume that they have
been attached too tightly and run the risk
of buckling or warping in future.
Do not use force.When installing vinyl cladding
panels, push up from the bottomuntil the panel engages with the
lock of the panel below it.
TIP #2
TIP #3Never nail or staple the vinyl panel directly. Doing sowill not give the material room to expand or contract
and will result in ripples.
Always use the nail hem.
TIP # 4Always nail in the centre of the panel, never on theedges. Nailing on the end of the panel will damage it
permanently.
BONUS TIP!Don't forget that you will need
basic protective gear likesafety glass, ear muffs and
workman’s clothing andshoes.
