Lapstart® Lap Starter Strip
EXPANSION & CONTRACTION: Siding panels will expand and contract due to changes in temperature. Allow a 1/8"gap between panels and trim.
FASTENERS: Stainless steel fasteners are recommended when installing Tamlyn Xtreme Trim™.
FASTENING: Do not fasten edges of panels until trims are in place. Fasten panel at center and work outward. Fasteners should be staggered on opposite panel edges.
CUTTING: Use a non ferrous carbide miter saw blade when cutting Tamlyn Xtreme Trim™
PAINTING: Use Direct to Metal (DTM) paint with Xtreme Trim™. Use light or pastel paint colors only on Tamlyn PVC or Sherwin-Williams Vinyl Safe™ Paint. Use of dark color paint will cause deformation. Tamlyn vinyl products are not warranted if painted with dark color paint. See Tamlyn Trim Painting Guide
Please follow siding manufacturer's best practice application when installing any Tamlyn accessory. Xtreme Trim™ profiles do not form a moisture management system, the architect and builder are responsible for designing and installing a code compliant building envelope.
