Extremely durable, incredibly colorfast, with a 10 Year Limited Warranty against fading. Available in many beautiful wood décors suitable for any style home or building.
“Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.”
Before you get started, make sure that you have either OSB Exterior sheathing or Plywood Exterior Sheathing. The Climate-Shield system is designed to install over either of these sheathings.
Next step: make sure your exterior wall is tight.
The Climate-Shield system with Pura NFC siding is an open-joint rainscreen. It is designed to let water in and out. Protecting your wall is absolutely imperative.
Installing furring strips for the trim only.
Install with screws and level. The furring strips must be covered with a black EPDM tape or other weather resistive barrier once it is installed.
Installing Outside Corner Trim
Now that your furring strips are lined up at the corners, it’s time to install your outside corner trim. Cut your trim to the proper length. Predrill your holes for a quicker install. Screw the outside corner trim home.
Installing the window trim
J-trim works great for doors and windows. J-trim helps define the window and door openings. It also covers up any imperfectly cut ends of siding planks. Measure and cut your trim to length. Predrill it. Fasten it to the furring strip.
Installing the CSTSR8 horizontal Starter Rail
The Starter rail is pre-drilled for fast, accurate installation. If your starter rail needs to be cut, measure the length. Cut the starter rail with a metal cutting blade.
Installing the first course of siding.
Slide the first siding board into the CSTSR8 starter rail. Tap into place to make sure the board is sitting tightly on the starter rail. Make sure there is adequate spacing for movement during temperature and humidity changes, 5/16” between plank ends.
Climate-Shield CST1 rainscreen clips
Designed for Pura NFC siding. Time and labor saving. Automatically creates the correct rainscreen gap.
Fastening CS1 Rainscreen Clips
Place one rainscreen clip on the top edge of the siding. 1 mm is equal to a 24-gauge wire, so the thickness of a paperclip works perfectly here. This gap allows for expansion and contraction of the siding. 1 mm is equal to a 24-gauge wire, so the thickness of paperclip works perfectly here. Zing home the one screw, and you're ready to go to the next one.
Adding the next courses of siding
Tap it home. Make sure your gap at the end is set properly for expansion and contractions. A 3/16” gap is perfect for trim boards. A 5/16” gap is ideal for plank-to-plank spacing.
Installing the top course of siding
Start with a piece of Cor-A-Vent SV5 insect screening cut to length. Cor-A-Vent SV5 provides a ¾” spacing to match the rainscreen gap of the clips.
The top edge of the end board should be ripped to the proper dimension to fit under the soffit. The bottom edge of the board should be left intact to fit securely in the clips. The top board is pre-drilled, then fastened through the siding, through the Cor-A-Vent, and into the sheathing using the provided color match screws.
