Installation Instructions Mouldings
Cut molding to length.
Allow molding to acclimate to the installation temperature for 24 hours before
cutting it to length.
Measure the location where the molding will be installed. Add 1/4″ for every
10 feet of length and cut the moulding to that length to prevent gaps due to
contraction in cold temperatures.
Note : Cut for miter joints at corners and butt joints at other seams.
Install ledger strip (if needed).
If the molding is hollow, install a ledger strip for it to mount to (Figure 2).
Apply adhesive.
Apply a 1/4″ bead of adhesive on the mounting surface of the moulding, leaving
some gaps at the bottom for water to escape (Figure 3A).
IMPORTANT! Also apply adhesive liberally on the ends at all seams to
prevent separation (Figure 38).
Fasten moulding.
Use exterior-grade fasteners spaced not more than 16″ apart, and not less than
3″ from the end of each piece to secure moulding to the wall or ledger strip
(Figure 4A). If the piece is between other pieces of molding, it should spring
fit (Figure 48). Remove excess
adhesive before it dries.
Fill and sand fastener holes.
Fill fastener holes with filler and sand to match the surrounding area, if needed, but be careful not to remove the primer.
Touch up or finish.
Refer to Fypon® General Finishing Instructions. If part was finished prior to installation, touch-up filled fastener holes with the color-matched finish. Caulk edges and exposed fastener heads to prevent water penetration around the molding.

Installation Instructions Gable Pediments
Cut gable pediment to match roof pitch (if necessary).
Measure the area where the gable pediment will fit and cut it to match the roof pitch, if required.
Mark installation area and pre-drill fastener locations.
Hold the gable pediment in place and mark the desired location. Make sure fasteners can anchor to solid material, and pre-drill fastener locations if needed (Figure 2}. Fastener locations should be no more than 16″ apart.
Apply adhesive.
Apply a 1/4″ bead of adhesive to the mounting surfaces of the gable pediment (Figure 3}.
Fasten.
Press the pediment into place and fasten with exterior-grade fasteners (Figure 4}, making sure to countersink them below the surface. Fasteners should be no more than 16″ apart. Remove any excess adhesive.
Fill and sand fastener holes.
Fill fastener holes with filler and sand to match the surrounding area, if needed, but be careful not to remove the primer.
Touch up or finish.
Refer to Fypon® General Finishing Instructions. If a part was finished prior to installation, touch-up filled fastener holes with the color-matched finish. Caulk around the top and sides with sealant.
