CENTRAL STATES MANUFACTURING, INC.Effective 04/2024 • Information subject to change 5There are a number of ways to cut sheet metal quickly and accurately. Tin snips or a “nibbler” type electric tool are recommended for eld cutting Board & Batten panels. Cutting over a trash barrel will help catch the tiny metal shavings that the machine produces. Although Central States discourages it, if a power saw is used, the blade will generate slivers of metal chips. These slivers and metal chips must be immediately removed from the Board & Batten panels because they will damage the nish and shorten the life of the product. One method of preventing this problem is to ip the panels over when cutting. This allows the slivers and metal chips to be brushed from the back side and avoids damaging the paint on the top side of the panels. Make sure that stacks of panels are away from the cutting area so shavings do not blow onto other panels. • Board & Batten is designed to be installed over solid sheeting. We recommend a minimum 7/16" plywood sheathing• Make sure any existing sheeting is smooth, level and in good condition. Replace any decking not meeting those requirements.• Shimming out the low places in a wall is recommended.• Make sure the wall is clear of any debris that might interfere with installation.• A house wrap or moisture barrier should be installed referencing building codes in your area before installing Board & Batten over top.• Use an alignment or #1 Blue chalk line where the rst panel is installed. Other methods of conrming the squareness can also be used. All product surfaces should be free of debris at all times. Installed surfaces should be wiped clean at the end of each work period. Never cut panels over metal surfaces. When cutting metal panels, always wear heavy gloves to avoid cuts from sharp edges and safety glasses to prevent eye injury.CAUTIONFIELD CUTTINGWALL PREPARATION TIPSShavings created by saw cutting or drilling may cause the panel to rustand will void warranties in aected areas.

CENTRAL STATES MANUFACTURING, INC.Effective 04/2024 • Information subject to change 6SUBSTRUCTURE CONDITION• Metal installed with screw fasteners should be installed over solid decking. • Avoid installing over damp or green lumber, porous insulation or other damaging materials.• Strong chemicals may cause premature deterioration.• The use of a moisture barrier or water shield is recommended.

CENTRAL STATES MANUFACTURING, INC.Effective 04/2024 • Information subject to change 7Familiarize yourself with all installation instructions before starting work. Before beginning installation, you should examine the substrate or framing to ensure that all supporting members are straight, level, and plumb to avoid any panel distortion. Substructures should be designed to meet all necessary code requirements. Some eld cutting and tting of panels and trims is to be expected by the installer and minor eld corrections are a part of normal installation work. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure a suitable substrate prior to the application of Board & Batten. Underlayment must be nailed or stapled down. Distortion in the panel caused by an uneven substrate, ripples, or laps in the vapor barrier, debris, protruding nails and staples, button cap nails, etc., are not defects in the materials and are not the responsibility of Central States Manufacturing. All trims, closures, and accessories shown on the installation drawings are available from Central States Manufacturing unless noted otherwise. Oil canning in the at area of the panels is common to the industry and does not aect the integrity of the panel. Therefore, oil canning is not a reason for rejection. The panels should be installed plumb, straight, and square. To keep the bottom edge of the wall perfectly straight and even, the panels must be installed square to the bottom edge. Begin by checking the wall for square; if it is square, you may pull the layout marks directly from the edge of the wall. On runs of more than 10' 2" that require more than one length of trim, overlap the pieces by 2". The material is thin enough that the overlaps are not noticeable. Trim is attached with rivets or wafer screws; take care to drive the screws enough to atten the neoprene washer but not enough to deect the wall or the trim. Remove strippable lm from panels and trims before installation.PANEL INSTALLATION OVERVIEWTRIM INSTALLATION OVERVIEWStrippable lm on Textured panels and trim must be removed within 30 days of manufacture date. Strippable that is left on for more than 30 days may be hard to peel o and is not a reason for a refund or replacement from the manufacturer.CAUTION

CENTRAL STATES MANUFACTURING, INC.Effective 04/2024 • Information subject to change 8PANEL INSTALLATION• When you're installing Board & Batten panels, it's absolutely essential to make sure there's enough space for vertical expansion.• DO NOT over-tighten the fasteners. The panels MUST be fastened loosely, so they can hover against the substrate. To enable the panels to hover, center the fasteners within the nailing anges and drive them straight. Do not drive them at an angle, as this could cause an "oil canning" eect that would be visible within the panels. You MUST ensure that there's an approximate 1/32" gap between the head of the fastener and the metal nailing ange (refer to the illustration). • It's strongly recommended to install metal board and batten panels over a minimum 7/16" OSB substrate.

CENTRAL STATES MANUFACTURING, INC.Effective 04/2024 • Information subject to change 9GABLE PANEL INSTALLATIONTo properly install on a gable end, it's important to align the center panel with the center of the gable. The installation process should start from the center and then move outward to both the left and right sides. To achieve this, you can begin by cutting o the nailing ange from a full-length panel, as shown in the illus-tratration Board & Batten cut here drawing below.To ensure that the batten lines up with the center of the gable, you should fasten the nailing ange to the center of the gable end.An extra panel may be needed depending on coverage needs and gable starter.After securing the nailing ange to the substrate, you should cut the batten portion from a full-length panel. Then attach this cut piece to the substrate by tucking the cut edge into the open hem of the already-fastened nailing ange. This will create two nailing anges with open hems facing each other. To complete the center starter gable panel, fasten a full-width panel to the substrate and clip the batten into the center nailing ange piece, just like how eld panels are installed.Now, you can proceed with your installation in both left and right directions as shown in the illustration.Gable StarterGable EndPanel with Batten removedNailing angeFull panelNailing angeBatten removedPanel cutting
