Storage and Handling If bundles are to be stored outside, do not lay them directly on the ground. Lay them on wood supports (e.g. 2 x 4) Do not store under traps. Do not store bundles upright. Do not store bundles more than 5 high.

Keep away from heat sources. Keep cartons dry until opened. Important: Handling of Celect Corner Posts • Do not stack on top of corners. • Store corners on level surface. • Store out of direct sunlight. • Keep corners in pack until installed.

Wall Preparation Celect siding is a rain screen but not intended to be a water resistive barrier. Therefore, Celect siding must be installed over a continuous water-resistive barrier with properly integrated flashing. Celect must be applied over rigit sheathing that provides a smooth flat surface. Never install Celect siding directly to open framing/studs. Celect must be installed over either solid nailable sheathing, rigid sheathing with minimum 1 x 6 furring strips or rigid sheathing and elongating the nailing slots (page 22). Re-siding It may not be necessary to remove existing siding providing all loose boards are re-secured and any rotten boards are replaced. Install furring strips or wall leveling siding underlayment to create a flat surface for the siding. Follow all other details outlined above. Key Rules • Nail in the center of the nailing slot unless pinning is necessary. • Fasteners must be placed in the center of the nailing slots at approximately 16” spacing leaving about 1/32” between the head of the fastener and the nailing hem of the panel. Celect panels expand and contract through temperature changes. • Never face nail the panels.

Estimating the Required Materials

■ All houses can be broken down into shapes of rectangles or triangles, or a combination of both. ■ The area to be sided can be determined by measuring the height and width of the house, including windows. ■ Total all of the measurements for the areas to be sided. Windows and doors are not usually deducted. Including them will provide an allowance factor for waste. If the windows and doors are extremely large (such as a garage or sliding glass doors), some deductions can be made. ■ To estimate the amount of starter strip required, measure the linear feet around the entire base of the house. ■ Add siding to all material estimates to allow for waste, depending on the pitch of the roof and other house- specific factors. ■ Every 100 square feet (9.29 square meters)is called a “square” for ordering purposes.

(minimum 2” length (50.8mm) in required in Canada). • Note: High wind areas may necessitate ring shank nails. • Corrosion resistant, #8 truss or pan head screws with a length sufficient to penetrate a solid nailable surface (framing or furring) a minimum of 3/4” in depth. • Fasten siding to block or concrete as shown. Furring thickness and fastening methods are determined by local building codes.

CUTTING AND ROUTING Siding Cutting and Routing Siding

GLUES AND SEALANTS Ÿ Use Professional grade PVC adhesives for joining trim pieces. Tip : Two Part Gluing Method: PVC adhesive along with Cyanoacrylate (super glue) and activator as a “clamp” can be used. However, these glues are not sufficient to use alone . They must be used in conjunction with PVC cement. (2P10 is an only an example of a Cyanoacrylate/Activator system. There are others.) TOUCH UP Ÿ Use Celect Paint “dauber” bottle for larger areas and for coating exposed cut ends of Celect siding panels and trim. Ÿ If repainting is necessary, use ONLY “heat reflective” paints formulated for use on PVC products. Follow the paint manufacturers application instructions. Circular or miter saws with a trim or plywood blade. Jig saw, rotary tools (Dremel, router, etc.) can be useful for cutting around obstructions.

USING A TWO PART GLUING METHOD

Ÿ First place a bead of PVC cement along one edge of one of the pieces to be glued. Ÿ Next place a similar bead of Cyanoacrylate glue. Ÿ Spray the activator along the other piece to be glued. Do not spray the coated face of the piece . Ÿ Carefully join the two pieces together making sure that they are aligned properly. Hold the pieces in place for 5- 10 seconds or until the Cyanoacrylate glue adheres. This will allow for installation of the piece and give sufficient time for the PVC cement to create a permanent bond.
