Celect Installation Handbook

TRIM INSTALLATION Ÿ Install trim over furring strips (Fig. 16-17). It is easiest to assemble window and door trims before applying them to the wall. When using Celect trim, be sure to build the trim slightly larger (1/8” each side) than the window or door to give the finished frame room to expand and contract through temperature changes. ® ® Ÿ Cortex or Pro Plug screws and matching plugs should be used when installing Celect trim. Space the fasteners no more than 16” apart and no closer than 2” from the end of the trim. Make sure not to fasten through the siding or into the expansion pocket. Note: See trim assembly section for more. Trim Inst llation • Install trim over furring strips (Fig. 16-17). It is easiest to assemble window and do r trims b fo e applying them to the wall.
