My opinion you want to over lap past the factory a half an inch when you do it this way if somehow it slides to the right or left it will come off from overlapping then the two ends will butt up and buckle I’ve seen it plenty of times replaced a lot of that
Some factories are 2 inches some are an inch and a half so if your overlapping half that 3/4 on each end it can still slide 2 1/4 inches one way or the other and all it will take is 3/4 of an inch of movement for it to not be overlapped anymore
@@CS-zo7wx if you pin the piece with a nail in the left side of one nail slot and a nail in the right side of another nail slot, exactly how does the piece move back and forth?
I have been told that the correct way for overlapping, is that the nailing line ends of both pieces are just about 1/4" away from each other. And it makes sense to me. That means about 1" to 1 and 1/4" of the one piece under the locking line of the other piece.The way this video is telling me how to overlapping it might cause the sheets to come off the overlapping and or become bulky.
I saw at least 2 mistakes. Never nail a piece of vinyl that close to the factory, I always stay at least 6 to 8" from it. Also, you have to overlap that more, it has to tuck underneath the left (in this case) factory. If it doesn't, you will see house wrap in sometimes less than one season. I would rather have a joint that doesn't look spectacular than see tyvek exposed. Which do you consider more of a problem?
What state are you in. The factory ends should overlap. Even. So is the factory is a 1 1/2 it overlaps the other panel a 1 1/2 ! 2 in factory overlaps 2 inches. In northern Ohio. You siding would blow off the wall! With the wind off lake Erie. And going from temps of 90 in summer to -40 at times. It wouldn't last one winter!!! So before claiming you way is the right way. Check all you facts first!!!
This is the company that makes the siding lol, but I do agree they overexadurate how little they overlap, you should overlap atleast 1 1/4 inch or it will probably shrink and blow off
Steven READ the instructions on the siding boxes! 1” max overlap! The overlap has nothing to do with the wind blowing off pieces unless they are overlapped too much causing the expansion to buckle! Vinyl siding is simple but your stupidity makes customers think I’m a genius
@@brookbandeen4999 the box is wrong of you in northeast ohio. A 12'6"' panel can grow up to 1 inch and shrink a inch. Put it on in 90° temps. Then see how it looks at -20° I have done siding for 30 years. It's what ever the factory cut out it. If it's cut out 1-1/2 inch then it 1-1/2 if it's cut 2 then it's 2. You have to take in account for other factors. Like 50 mile a hour winds at time of lakes and oceans hurricane forces and more. Then guys that write the instructions. One write instructions. They don't hang siding. But do it how you like. Then go back a fix it again later
You neglected to explain how to trim the ends when you do NOT have a factory end. You just assume that one always has factory ends or that everyone already knows how to trim them. NEVER ASSUME !
wonderful
This is the landlord special

You put a nail one the left side of nail slot, and another mail on the right side of another nail slot to prevent sliding out of place of the piece.
@@CS-zo7wx That's an incorrect procedure that will absolutely result in buckling or bubbling
@@spacetimeworm you still allow for movement of the piece genius.

@@CS-zo7wx no factory will warrantee their product if you fasten their product in this fashion.
Although it won’t move that far because the nail slots are only an inch but theoretically

My boss had the nerves to tell me that ur suppose to Overlap 6 inches
Donde consigo de este saire
Porque no se informa en castellano.
These Mexicans I work with they keep saying it has to overlap around 1 & half.. that's like half an inch between the nailing slots
They’re right. This guy does a lot of repair work on his own jobs obviously
