Surface preparation

Siding panels are installed on almost all types of surfaces. The walls of the structure before facing should be prepared. To do this, clean the surfaces of rot and mold, the remains of plaster.

Do not tighten screws or other fasteners to the end. Between the nailed stripe of the siding and the screw of the screw it is necessary to leave a gap of 1-1.5 mm.

Do not forget to leave a 5 mm gap between the siding and additional elements for possible expansion or compression of the panel. If the installation is done in the winter, then the distance is 9-10 mm. Correctly installed VOX siding, photo of which is presented in the article, should not be strained.
