PRIME ALL CUTS!

Priming all cuts prevents moisture absorption & helps ensure a long lasting project. This includes cuts that can’t be seen or may not be directly exposed to weather.

INSTALL 6" ABOVE GRADE

Trim should be installed always at least 6” from ground.

INSTALL 2" ABOVE ROOFS

2” breaks are crucial on the roof and flat surfaces (porches, decks, etc.)

INSTALL 2" ABOVE FLAT SURFACES

Again, the 2" rule applies to all flat surfaces (roofs, porches, decks, etc.)

INSTALL 1/4" ABOVE FLASHING

Flashing is an imperative; and always maintain a 1/4” gap for a capillary break.

KEEP MATERIAL COVERED

Store on stringers and out of weather is preferred for storage; always store flat and off the ground. If material must be stored outdoors...

KEEP MATERIAL COVERED

A) Store elevated; bottom of sawhorse should be at least 2’ off the ground. Keep material covered with tarp >1’ off the ground to allow for air circulation. B) Elevate stack in the center to prevent from pooling. C) Add a scrap piece in the middle to also pitch from the sides

MOISTURE CONTROL

Acclimate to the environment. For interior trim, store inside the structure until the products reach approx 8% moisture content. For exterior trim, store in locations such as a garage that is not heated & is well ventilated until about 14% moisture content. Do not install exterior trim boards with a moisture content over 18%. (see windsorone.com/moisturecontrol)
