How do I install vinyl siding?
The first thing you need to do before installing vinyl cladding is the preparation of the outer walls. If they are covered with something other than wood, it will be necessary to remove it. When installing vinyl cladding, it must be nailed into something solid, preferably some wood. However, it is still a good idea to cover the exterior of the house insulation. Fortunately, this insulation comes in the length of fifty feet and its width of only four feet makes installation easier.
As soon as it is done, it is time to determine where to start installing a vinyl siding in your house. The best way to achieve this is to get the level of the web and the pole. Place the site level on the tripod and on the level with a bubble at the top. Let someone stand next to the house in one of the corners with a rod, pull the cross hair to the lowest point of the outer wall and make a mark and ride in the nail. Turn the level of space to the other corner of the house. Indicate where the crushed hair is hit by the wall and left there. Bring the string to one of the nails and stretch it over the wall to the other nail; To will give you your starting point.
Before installing the first line, you will need to secure the starting belt to the wall at the just created level. The bottom of the first row of the siding is locked in this strip. Along with this, install the "J" lining around the windows, doors and along the signature. When installing crop around the door and windows, spread the upper corners and allow the upper part to overlap the vertical piece to prevent rainwater from running behind the tiles. Another piece of crop is the outer corner. Use galvanized roof nails and do not eat the nail except for the tiles, as vinyl tiles are expanding and contrasting with the weather. Stopping the nail briefly on the tiles allows you to move without damage. With the Star Strip on the spot, you are ready to start to measure and cut to install vinyl tiles into the exterior of the house.
vinyl siding is easy to cut, so a good paired tin neckline makes the trick nicely. Using a smaller pair for pieces of trimmingwill give you a more accurate cut. When measuring and cutting vinyl tiles, always stop a short length of at least ¼ inches. Make sure that all the slices you do sufficiently slip into the channel "J" to hide the cut. When the end cut on the channel "J" windows or doors, trim the tiles where the naunch belt encounters the tiling, so it slides behind the channel "J" and holds it in place.
The last steps to install vinyl tiles are trays and fascias. The top material for the ceiling varies from what is applied to the walls, sits in the channel "J" at the top of the wall and is glued to the lower edge of a wooden fascia with nail edging. The last application for installing vinyl tiles is fascia. Crop the nails that the same color as the siding is used to complete the project.
