READ BEFORE INSTALLTION
EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION
PVC products expand and contract as the temperature changes. You must allow
for this movement when you fasten Veranda HP Beadboard. You can minimize the
movement of the beadboard by observing proper fastening and gluing techniques.
When installing Veranda HP Beadboard allow 1/4” at all edges and around fixed
objects or abutments for expansion and contraction.
Bonding and Adhesives
Never use adhesives alone to fasten Veranda HP Beadboard Panels to a
substrate.
Bonding with Each Other
PVC cement and other solvent-based adhesives have a limited working time,
always plan to allow sufficient time for a full cure, and mechanically fasten
the joint through the joint or on each side of the joint.
Bonding to Other Surfaces
Veranda HP Beadboard Panels can also be bonded to a variety of substrates.
Specific substrate combinations require specific adhesives: contact cement,
epoxy, rubber-based adhesives, or urethane-based adhesives. Use the proper
cement for each substrate. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer’s
instructions, and check the bond on a test piece before proceeding with the
installation.
Fastening
Veranda HP Beadboard can be hand or power-nailed the same as wood. In cold
temperatures below 32°F, predrilling is recommended to prevent splitting or
cracking. Use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners designed for
wood trim and cladding. For best results, use fasteners with thin shanks,
blunt points, and full round heads. 8D finish nails or 2” #8 trim screws are
acceptable provided they penetrate 1-1/2” through a flat, solid wood substrate
into a framing member. Fasteners should penetrate a minimum of 1-1/2” into the
framing member. Fastener heads should be flush with the surface of the trim or
slightly indented and no closer than ¾” from the end of the board.
Polyurethane Construction Adhesive to the back of the panel where it will
intersect joists.
CEILING AND SOFFIT INSTALLATION
- When installing Veranda HP Beadboard in a ceiling or soffit application verify that the area to be covered has adequate ventilation. Spanned applications such as soffits and ceilings must not exceed 16” O.C.
- Verify that framing members are level prior to application; if not, shim to correct as needed.
- Apply construction adhesive such as PL® Premium Polyurethane Polyurethane
- Construction Adhesive to the back of the panel where it will intersect joists.
- Fasten Veranda HP Beadboard Sheets to framing members, spacing fasteners no more than 4” apart in the field and at the perimeter of the panel
- Solid blocking must be installed where panel edges do not meet framing members to allow for proper fastener installation.
Wainscoting Application
- Veranda HP Beadboard Panels are an exterior trim product and are not intended for use as a cladding material.
- When installed as a wainscoting Veranda HP Beadboard
- Panels must be applied over a solid substrate.
- Verify that the substrate is level prior to the Beadboard Sheet application.
- Apply construction adhesive such as PL® Premium Polyurethane
- Construction Adhesive to the back of the panel prior to applying it to the substrate.
- Fasten Beadboard Sheets to framing members, spacing fasteners no more than 4” apart in the field and at the perimeter of the panel.
- Solid blocking must be installed where panel edges do not meet framing members to allow for proper fastener installation.
