Installing a shutter through a panel effectively “pins” that panel. Therefore, the panel must be able to expand and contract away from that “pin” point. To assure panel movement, center all siding fasteners in the nailing slots in the courses pinned by the shutter fasteners. These courses must have adequate expansion room at the ends (1”) and can be a maximum of 30’ in length. If the siding course has been center pinned already, the shutter can not be installed.
