Product catalog summary
Soffit, Fascia & Rainware Systems Overview
Key Features: Easy to install and economical to maintain.
Soffit Coverage: The document provides a detailed table indicating the number of 12-foot panels required based on the length of eaves and width of overhang. This helps in determining the quantity of materials needed for installation.
Installation Procedures:
  • Soffit Panels: Measure the length of eaves and width of overhang to determine the number of panels needed.
  • Fascia: Measure the length of eaves and divide by 10 feet to order the required number of 10-foot pieces.
  • Soffit J-trim and Sill Trim: Use fascia measurements to calculate the number of 12-foot pieces needed.
  • Soffit Nails: Available in one-pound packages, with 1 1/4” trim nails in matching colors.
Installation Tips:
  • Nail soffit panels in grooves whenever possible.
  • Handle with care to protect the paint finish.
  • Use touchup paint on screw heads for a clean finish.
Installation Over Existing Soffit: Detailed steps are provided for installing over existing soffit, including the use of J-trim and fascia adjustments.
Porch Ceilings: The system is adaptable for porch ceilings, with installation techniques similar to wood, stucco, or aluminum siding.
Rainware Installation:
  • Gutter and Rainspout Installation: Includes steps for joining gutters, installing hangers, and securing downpipes.
  • Joint Sealing: Use joint sealer around all joints and rivets for a secure installation.
  • End Cap and Gutter Guard Installation: Apply joint sealer to end caps and install gutter guards to prevent blockages.
Tools Required: Basic tools such as measuring tape, metal-cutting shears, hammer, and scoring knife are needed, with optional tools like a carpenter’s level and power saw for enhanced precision.
