oridabuilding.org/pr/pr_detl.asp?IPT=5896&RV=0&fm=ROSrch Attractive: Aluminum won’t split, rot, or warp. Baked on finish resists peeling, cracking, chipping, and blistering. Easy To Work With: Aluminum can be cut with a sharp blade, metal snips, or circular saw. Fasten it with a hammer and (aluminum) nails. It’s lightweight but strong. The Permanent Proven over the past 50 years in siding, storm, Outdoor Material: and screen doors and many other applications. COMPONENTS PANEL SUPPORTS (twelve foot lengths) Used to support the overhang panels. J-channel (Decorative) Frieze Moulding 12" wide Panels OVERHANG PANELS (SOFFIT) (twelve foot lengths) These lengths are cut into individual panels to match the depth of your overhang. They come either solid or vented. FRONT TRIM (twelve foot lengths) Used to cover the wood trim to which your gutter is attached. Now is a good time to decide on replacing your old gutters with an AMERIMAX RAIN CARRYING SYSTEM. The front trim may be slipped under the existing gutter if it is not removed. If front trim is not 6", 8", 10" 1" Fascia Fascia 4", used, additional panel supports are required. heights Runner available 11/4" TRIM DOUBLE CHANNEL RUNNER NAILS (twelve foot lengths) May be used instead of butting J channels at mitred corners. A WORD ABOUT VENTED OVERHANG PANELS Amerimax vented panels allow outside air to pass through the roof rafters into your attic. Your attic exhaust system completes this important air circulation loop. Adequate ventilation is required to prevent: • Energy losses in summer from a super-heated attic • Energy losses in winter caused by attic insulation that has soaked up condensation and moisture. • Peeling paint and rotting wood caused by condensation buildup inside the framework of the house. A solid wooden overhang allows none of this vital air circulation. For adequate ventilation, Amerimax recommends that a minimum of 1/3 of the aluminum overhang panels be vented panels. MEASURING FOR YOUR PROJECT A.TOTAL OVERHANG LENGTH (feet) Measure the length (L) of overhang on all sides of your house. Add all these measurements to get the total overhang length, in feet. B. OVERHANG DEPTH (inches) Identify your project from the illustrations below and measure the overhang depth, in inches, to the nearest 1/8 of an inch. L1 L2 INSTALLING A INSTALLING AN HORIZONTAL OVERHANG INCLINED OVERHANG Overhang Depth Overhang Depth OverhangDepth OverhangDepth Project I using Project II not Project III using Project IV not Front Trim using Front Trim Front Trim using Front Trim MATERIAL SELECTION GUIDE PANEL SUPPORTS: J-CHANNEL OR FRIEZE MOULDING (twelve foot lengths) For projects I and III Divide total overhang length (in feet) by 12 and round up to the nearest whole number. If not using double channel at mitred corners, add one additional length if overhang turns a corner. Example: Total Overhang Length = 80 feet 80 . 12 = 6 8/12 lengths You need 7 twelve foot lengths plus one length if overhang turns a corner and you are not using a double channel runner at mitred corner. For projects II and IV Divide total overhang length ( in feet) by 6 and proceed as above. Example: Total Overhang Length = 80 feet 80 . 6 = 132/6 lengths You need 14 twelve foot lengths plus one length if overhang turns a corner and you are not using double channel runner at mitred corner. OVERHANG PANELS: SOFFIT (12" x twelve foot lengths) LOCATE YOUR OVERHANG DEPTH From 7" to 81/8" Divide total overhang length (in feet) by 18 and round up to nearest whole number. Example: total overhang length = 80 feet 80 . 18 = 48/18 lengths You need 5 twelve foot lengths. Over 8 ." to 9 ." Divide total overhang length (in feet) by 15 and proceed as above. Over 9 ." to 121/8" Over 121/8" to 161/8" Divide total overhang length (in feet) by 12 and proceed as above. Divide total overhang length (in feet) by 9 and proceed as above. Over 161/8" to 241/8" Over 241/8" to 481/8" Divide total overhang length (in feet) by 6 and proceed as above. Divide total overhang length (in feet) by 3 and proceed as above. Remember: Decide on how many solid and how many vented panels you want. The answers you get above are the total number of panels you need. FRONT TRIM: Fascia or 1" Fascia Runner (twelve foot lengths) Divide total overhang length (in feet) by 12 and round up to nearest whole number. Example: total overhang length = 80 feet 80 . 12 = 6 8/12 lengths You need 7 twelve foot lengths. NAILS: Only aluminum nails should be used. One box (. pound) of Amerimax 1." aluminum trim nails should be sufficient for your entire project. TOOLS REQUIRED Circular saw with fine tooth blade for cutting metal Measuring tape Carpenter’s square Sharp knife Metal snips Chalkline Level Hammer CAUTION: When nailing aluminum, hammer only until nail head touches aluminum surface. Further hammering may prevent normal expansion and cause buckling. Before You Begin Remove Any Existing Trim Remove an existing trim. Consider possible obstruct...
