  16. HardieTrim Installation of HardieTrim HZ without Trim Tabs Installation of Outside Corners: Pre-Built Corner Installation • Corners made from 5/4 or 4/4 HardieTrim boards should be pre-assembled before they’re installed. A pre-assembled corner looks better and makes the installation quicker. • Step 1: Pre-Build the Corner Trim • To join two pieces of 5/4 or 4/4 HardieTrim boards for a corner: • Drive a (2”) 16 ga Corrosion-resistant finish nail (½”) in from the edge & spaced (16”) apart along the length of the corner trim. (9) 16 ga finish nails per 12’ piece of HardieTrim. • Step 2: Fastening the Pre-Built Corner Trim to the Wall • To Fasten (4”) Corners to the Wall: • Drive one finish nail into each face of the corner with the nails spaced (16”) apart. • To Fasten (6”) Corners to the Wall: • Drive a pair of finish nails into each face of the corner with the nails spaced (16”) apart. • Nails should be kept (3/4”) from the edges of the HardieTrim and (1”) from the ends. Fig 7.15 1 2 Fig 7.17 3

  17. HardieTrim Installation of HardieTrim HZ without Trim Tabs Installation of Outside Corners: Weather Cuts • When walls are more than (12’) high, splice corner boards together using weather cutsof at least a 22.5o angle. • The angle of the weather cut must slope downward and away from the building. • Nail both boards to the building with the same attachment schedule as for pre-built corners. • Paint or Prime ALL Cut Edges • DO NOTInstall ANY Trim products over James Hardie Siding. Installation of Inside Corners: Single & Double Inside Corners can be made with either a single 5/4 or 4/4 HardieTrim board in the corner, or with one board on each wall depending on the desired look. Fig 7.18 NOTE:5/4 HardieTrim is to be used with all James Hardie Siding Products in a butt-too installation method. 4/4 HardieTrim is to be used over HardiePanel ONLY. Fig 7.16

  18. HardieTrim Installation of HardieTrim HZ without Trim Tabs Fig 7.19 Installation of the Band Board: • Any width of 5/4 or 4/4 HardieTrim can be used for Band Board depending on the type of detail desired. • When installing the band board, pay special attention to the flashing details and allow for water egress. • Make sure that the weather resistant barrier laps over the flashing for a continuous drainage plane. • Caulk between the underside of the band board and the siding below. (where permitted by local building codes). Install an inverted “J” Trim for the last course of the lap siding to terminate into. • Maintain a min. (1/4”) gap between the horizontal flashing and the James Hardie Siding above it. • Do not caulk between the flashing and the siding above the band board. • If running HardiePlank or HardieShingle above the band board, make sure to use a starter strip just like below, to maintain the correct plank angle. • Small periodic gaps should be left in the starter strip to provide an escape route for excess moisture that may drain down behind the siding.

  19. HardieTrim Installation of HardieTrim HZ without Trim Tabs Installation of the Band Board: Continued To attach the Band Board to the building: How-to: Fastening the Band Board to the Wall Drive (2) two (2”) 16 ga corrosion resistant finish nails every (16”) for (4”) and (6”) band boards. For (8”) band boards, use (3) three (2”) 16 ga corrosion resistant finish nails every (16”). For (12”) band boards, use (4) four (2”) 16 ga corrosion resistant finish nails every (16”). Use bevel-cut splice joints of at least 22.5o to join long lengths of 5/4 or 4/4 HardieTrim together.

  21. HardieTrim Installation of HardieTrim HZ without Trim Tabs Installation of the Window & Door Trim: • Windows & Doors must be installed per the manufacturer’s instructions. • Once the HardieTrim is installed, a drip flashing must be installed above the trim & lapped under the weather resistant barrier correctly. • Install HardieTrim around doors & windows using the “cap over” method, which means that the header or horizontal top piece of trim extends and caps over the vertical jamb legs on either side of the door or window. • For windows, the bottom trim piece fits between the vertical jamb legs. • For Cap-Over Trim Installation: • Start by measuring the length of the bottom edge of the window. (not including the nailing flange). Cut a piece of trim to that length and install it. • Next measure from the bottom of the installed trim to the top of the window. (not including the nailing flange). Cut two pieces of trim to that length and install them on either side of the window. • For the Cap, measure the distance from the outside edge of both vertical jamb legs. Cut a piece of HardieTrim and Install it. • For Doors the Process is the same except that it starts with the vertical side jamb legs. (Step 2) 2 3 1

  23. HardieTrim Installation of HardieTrim HZ without Trim Tabs Installation of HardieTrim - Rake & Fascia: • For Fascia and Rake board applications, James Hardie requires that ALL HardieTrim products be nailed over a solid wood or steel Subfascia. • James Hardie recommends that the fascia be no more than (2”) larger than the Subfascia. (e.g. Over a nominal 2x6 Subfascia, Install an (8”) fascia board (actual size 7 ¼”). • On longer Fascia runs, join HardieTrim with weather/bevel cuts a minimum of 22.5o miter is required. • A Drip Edge Flashing is required over HardieTrim Fascia

  24. HardieTrim Installation of HardieTrim HZ without Trim Tabs Installation of Frieze Board Trim: Install the HardieTrim Frieze Board direct to the wall or rainscreen. Run the HardiePlank or HardieShingle siding up to the frieze board and caulk the junction of the frieze board and siding (where applicable by local building code) or Install an inverted “J” Channel for the HardiePlank or HardieShingle to tuck into at the underside of the Frieze or Band Board. When using HardiePanel siding, it is acceptable to install the frieze board over the HardiePanel siding. If joints are necessary for longer runs, join the HardieTrim with a min. of a 22.5o bevel cut. Fasten the HardieTrim frieze board every (16”) using (2”) long 16 ga non-corrosive finish nails. 3 1 4 2 5

  25. HardieTrim Installation of HardieTrim Battens Getting Started: Did you Know? • HardieTrim Battens are intended to be used with HardiePanel vertical siding to achieve a board and batten look. • HardieTrim Battens must be attached to the HardiePanel while still penetrating into wood or steel framing. • Use ONLY approved fasteners from the HardieTrim fastener specification table. 2 Step 1: Installing HardieTrim Battens Determine your desired layout (Over Framing) and mark top & bottom of the HardiePanel where the HardieTrim Battens will be installed. To ensure the HardieTrim Battens are installed vertically and parallel to each other, Snap Chalk Lines (Blue Chalk Works Best) or Use a Level to draw straight vertical, parallel lines. Center the HardieTrim Battens over the lines established in Step 2. Ensure the fasteners are a minimum of (¾”) from the edges, (1”) from ends, and a maximum of (16”) apart down the length of the HardieTrim Battens. 3 1 2
