Can only be installed vertically — no horizontal installation permitted
Double furring is mandatory in Quebec and the Maritimes; strongly recommended in Ontario
Install vertical furring strips (min. 3/8" thick), then horizontal 1"×3" furring strips every 16" over top
Maintain minimum 1-1/4" fastener penetration into stud, strapping, or combination thereof
Spiral shank nails require minimum 1-1/8" stud penetration
Batten nails must be a minimum of 2" long — pre-drill every 16" through batten and board
Center the batten above the groove and nail at 16" O.C.
Touch-up all visible nails immediately after installation to prevent moisture ingress
For horizontal batten trim, install Z-flashing on top of the trim; add a second Z-flashing at the lower end
Never recut the batten — the original factory paint must remain on the edge
Keep siding in a dry, unheated, well-ventilated area, at least 6" off the ground during storage
Maintain minimum 8" (203 mm) clearance between the bottom edge of siding and grade
Seal all gaps between siding and trim with a high-quality, non-hardening sealant; leave 3/16" expansion gap at trim junctions
