Installation of Grand Line® vinyl siding

General rules

  • The screws should be screwed exactly into the middle of the special holes, without screwing them all the way. It is impossible to rigidly fix siding elements: due to thermal deformations, the panels are constantly compressing and expanding. Rigid fixation can damage the siding;
  • siding should not be used together with metal additional elements;
  • the panels are attached only to the sheathing.

Preparing the wall surface

  • nail down any loose panels or boards that line the wall;
  • clean the wall around window and door openings from any remaining plaster;
  • remove all protruding elements that may interfere with the installation of Grand Line siding.

Installation of sheathing

Advantages of a metal profile:

  • zinc anti-corrosion coating;
  • stable geometry;
  • light weight.

Vertical profiles are attached in increments of 300...400 mm between the axes. In addition, you must attach a profile:

  • horizontally - above and below window openings;
  • horizontally - above doorways;
  • horizontally - along the upper and lower boundaries of the walls;
  • vertically - on each side of each external and internal corner.

If the distance between the sheathing elements is more than 400 mm, the deflection of the siding under load (for example, if someone accidentally presses their hand on it) will be too great. With a large deflection, it can crack - especially in winter, when PVC becomes more fragile.

Vertical and horizontal sheathing elements should not be connected to each other. This can impair ventilation of the wall under the siding.

At the outer and inner corners, two profiles are located close to each other. It is advisable to connect them together with corners in advance.

If the building does not require insulation:

  • attach a wind barrier to the wall;
  • install hangers for fastening profiles;
  • Attach drywall profiles to the hangers, maintaining verticality. The “extra” parts of the hangers can simply be bent inward.

If the building needs to be insulated:

  • fix it on the wall;
  • install hangers;
  • fasten ;
  • secure the windbreak by carefully making cuts in the places where the hangers are located;
  • install profiles.

Important: there should be no cracks or holes in the thermal insulation layer.

Fasteners

Self-tapping screws are used to attach hangers to the wall and profiles to hangers. It is better to screw them in with a screwdriver.

Fastener selection

To fasten profiles and siding panels, you should use aluminum or galvanized self-tapping screws with caps with a diameter of 8...10 cm. The base of the cap should be flat (see Fig. 4). The leg of the self-tapping screw must have a length that allows it to be buried into the wall by at least 20 mm.

Please note: for installation of Grand Line siding, use adhesive compositions it is forbidden. Sealant can and should only be used to seal seams.

Fastening siding - tolerances

When attaching panels to chamfers and edges, it is necessary to leave a thermal gap between the edge and the edge of the panel to compensate for thermal deformations. The gap width is 6 mm in summer, 10 mm in winter. (see Fig. 5).

  • screws should be screwed in at a distance of 300...400 mm from each other;
  • When tightening the screw, always leave a gap of 0.8...1 mm wide between the screw head and the panel (see Fig. 6). If the panel is screwed tightly, thermal expansion can lead to significant deformations (in such cases it is customary to say that the siding “went in waves”);
  • the self-tapping screw should be screwed into the middle of the perforation hole (see Fig. 7);
  • When cutting panels, you must first make a hole in the place where the screw is screwed in. Use the cutter;
  • You cannot pull the siding when fastening it.

What should you do if, after installing Grand Line siding, you find a rigidly fixed panel?

In this case, the fastening should be loosened. It will be necessary to remove the panel adjacent to the “problem” one using a special hook, loosen the threaded fastening and install the panel in place.

How to Cut Vinyl Siding

Siding can be cut:

  • metal scissors;
  • a hacksaw for metal with fine teeth;
  • sharp knife-cutter;
  • manual electric saw with abrasive disc;
  • grinder at low speed. You should ensure that the cutting disc of the grinder does not overheat. A hot disk can melt the panel.

Installation of Grand Line siding panels

Sequence of actions when covering walls:

  • installation of the starting bar;
  • installation of external and internal corners;
  • installation of connecting H-profiles (with the appropriate method of joining panels);
  • installation of J-profile and finishing strip;
  • installation of main panels.

Installation of the starting bar

Determine the point of the lower border of the future siding sheathing at one of the corners of the building. Then mark a point 50mm higher. Using a building level and a cord (or chalk), draw a horizontal line from this point along the perimeter of the building.

The drawn line should coincide with the top edge of the starting bar. Install the starting strip along the entire perimeter of the building (except for the corners), securing it with self-tapping screws. When joining adjacent planks, leave a 6 mm wide gap between them. The same gap should be between the edges of the starting strips and the side edges of the corner strips.

Setting the outside corner

Install the corner profile on the corner of the house. In this case, a gap of 1...4 mm wide should remain between the upper edge of the profile and the roof soffit or other roofing element, and 4...6 mm between the lower edge of the corner profile and the lower limiting elements (for example, flashing) - 4...6 mm.

Secure the profile with two self-tapping screws, screwing them into top part holes, as shown in Fig. 11. Align the strip and secure the corner profile with self-tapping screws along the entire length. Self-tapping screws should be screwed into the middle of the holes every 200...400 mm.

If the length of the corner profile is not enough, it is necessary to combine several parts. To do this, it is better to cut off a perforated part 25 mm long from the lower edge of the upper part, as shown in Fig. 13. Then install the top piece on top of the bottom piece, overlapping the cut section by 20mm. Another 5 mm is needed to compensate for thermal expansion.

Installing planks at non-rectangular corners

For cladding non-rectangular corners, Stroymet engineers recommend using conventional corner strips Grand Line. They are flexible enough that they can literally be pulled at an angle and then secured in the desired position (see Fig. 14).

Installing siding around window or door openings

There is an opening between the sheathing of the opening and the wall of the house through which moisture can get under the sheathing. This opening must be covered with an apron made of aluminum foil, roofing felt or galvanized steel.

For covering adjacent to window and doorways areas can be used:

  • J-profile;
  • J-profile wide (platband);
  • window strip.

If the opening is recessed into the wall, install the window strip, securing the edge located inside the opening finishing bar(see Fig. 15 and 16). The window strip is weakly held in the finish: in order to securely fix it, use a cutter to make tongues every 10 cm (this should be done in warm weather, because in cold weather the cutter will simply punch through the strip through hole). The tabs that are folded toward the finish trim will hold the window trim securely in place.

If the opening is not recessed, a flat J-profile should be used for sheathing. The profile is installed with the blank side facing the opening; the horizontal siding panels will be inserted into its bend.

Installation of a wide J-profile (platband)

  1. Install the finishing strip around the perimeter of the opening;
  2. Prepare a piece of additional element for the bottom side of the window opening. Its length should be equal to the length of the window opening + 130 mm (65 mm on each side);
  3. Notch the horizontal side of the element by 65 mm on each side so that the element fits into the opening. Bend the resulting rectangle up at a right angle;
  4. Cut a corner from the vertical part at an angle of 45 degrees;
  5. Using a cutter, make tongues at a distance of 100 mm from each other;
  6. Insert the lower additional element, controlling its horizontalness;
  7. Secure the installed element with self-tapping screws;
  8. Install the additional element on top in the same way. The difference is that the 65mm wide edge curves downwards;
  9. Proceed to install the side elements. The side elements have two vertical edges: one of them will be inside the opening, the second will be parallel external wall. It is necessary to cut rectangles from the edge that will be inside the opening. The height of these rectangles should be equal to the height of the horizontally located element (here again a drawing is needed). There is no need to cut a triangle from the side parallel to the outer wall at an angle of 45 degrees: this corner will be hidden;
  10. Use a cutter to create tabs that will hold the side pieces in the finish strip;
  11. Secure the side elements with self-tapping screws.

Installation of window trim

There is a high probability that the panels adjacent to the window at the top and bottom will have to be trimmed. To do this, you need to take measurements in advance.

The length of the cut section should be 6 mm greater than the width of the window opening. The depth of the cut section should also be 6 mm greater than the height of the additional element at the bottom of the window (see Fig. 17 and 23).

Installation of H-profiles

Longitudinal joining of siding panels is possible overlapping, as shown in Figure 22, or using H-profiles.

When adding overlapping siding, each subsequent panel should overlap the previous one by 25 mm. The joints of vertically adjacent panels must be shifted horizontally from each other.

When joining panels using an H-profile, all joints will be on the same vertical line (see Figure 22). The H-profile itself is attached to the vertical sheathing element. The panels are inserted into it with a small gap - 5...6 mm in summer, 10...11 mm in winter. Remember to use a notch to create tabs to securely hold the cut section in place.

Installation of siding panels

Installing the siding panels themselves is much easier than installing the sheathing and additional elements.

Installation starts from the bottom. The panels of the first row are installed in the starting strip and fixed with self-tapping screws, as described above. After installation, you can check the fixation of the panel by moving it horizontally with your palms: a correctly secured panel can easily move left and right.

Installation of vertical siding

The technology of wall cladding with vertical siding differs from the traditional one in only a few details:

  1. Vertical siding panels are attached to horizontal sheathing;
  2. It is necessary to install a facing strip along the lower edge of the future cladding. A J-profile is installed along the upper edge (see Fig. 27);
  3. Installation should begin from one of the corners. To do this, insert into the corner profile starting bar(Fig. 28);
  4. If the complete wall covering does not require an integral number of panels, the latter must be cut and secured, as shown in Fig. 29.

Installing the finishing strip and fixing the siding panels with it

Finishing strips are used:

  • in places where vertical siding joins horizontal siding;
  • in places where the upper siding panel adjoins the eaves of the house;
  • in places where the panels adjoin the upper or lower edge of the openings.

The finishing strip is installed close to the edge of the wall or J-profile and secured with self-tapping screws. The adjacent siding panel is cut to height (with a 6 mm wide gap to compensate for thermal expansion). After this, you need to make “tongues” on the cut surface using a cutter and secure the panel in the groove of the finishing strip.

Passage of protruding objects through siding

To pass ventilation ducts, pipes and other protruding elements, Stroymet specialists recommend using special Grand Line pass-through accessories. If the company does not have a suitable product in its assortment pass-through element, you can simply cut a hole in the panel. The gap between the edges of the hole and the protruding element must be at least 6 mm.

Installation of spotlights

Please note: soffits are intended exclusively for covering the under-roof surface. They cannot be used to cover walls and other vertical surfaces.

Installation of soffits with fastening using a wind board

This method is used if the width of the wind board (J-chamfer) is sufficient to completely cover the wind board. Sequencing:

  1. Secure the finishing strip to the top of the fascia board;
  2. If necessary, cut the wind board to the desired width and install it so that the top edge is secured by the already installed finishing strip;
  3. Attach the J-profile to the wall so that its groove is located in one horizontal plane with wind board groove. If necessary, you can use wooden block;
  4. Cut the soffits into pieces required length and insert them with one end into the J-profile groove on the wall, and the other into the J-chamfer groove. Attach the soffits with self-tapping screws to the sheathing.

Installation with fixing using external corner profile

This method is suitable for cases when front board significantly wider than the J-chamfer. Sequencing:

  1. Install the J-profile along the top edge of the fascia board;
  2. Set the outer corner profile to bottom edge frontal plate, as shown in Fig. 32;
  3. Install another J-profile on the wall, as in the previous case;
  4. Cut the soffit pieces and install them into the grooves of the J-profiles and the outer corner, as shown in the figure;
  5. Secure the soffits with self-tapping screws.

Please note: the vertical surface of the front board can only be sheathed with soffits white. This side is not protected from sunlight: brown soffits attached to it can quickly fade.

Replacing damaged panels

A damaged panel of Grand Line vinyl siding can be replaced without removing the entire siding. To do this, you need to insert the mounting hook into the overlap of the panels or the profile slot, and then move it along the panel to “open” the locking connection.

The released panel is still held in place by the screws. Unscrew them: if one of the screws won't come out, you can simply hammer it into the sheathing.

Installation of the new panel is carried out in reverse order: first it is screwed to the sheathing with self-tapping screws, and then the lock is latched using a hook.

Replacing the corner profile and H-profile

To replace the corner profile it is necessary to cut front part from an already installed profile. The nail strip and bottom of the receiving profile must remain in place. After this, the nail part is cut off from the new corner profile and the rest is carefully attached to the structure that remains on the wall.

The H-profile is replaced in the same way.

Caring for Vinyl Siding, Soffits and Accessories

Grand Line vinyl siding can be washed with water from garden hose. It is recommended to remove stubborn dirt with a brush or cloth. Household cleaners are used to remove mold.

Prohibited:

  • use cleaning powders with abrasive particles;
  • leave cleaning products on the siding surface for more than 5...10 minutes;
  • treat or allow vinyl surfaces to come into contact with organic solvents, degreasers or polishes.

Installation of Grand Line siding in the cold season

Attention! Colors may differ from the original due to monitor color rendering characteristics. For samples please contact the sales office.
