Measuring
Before ordering accessories, you also have to determine the
width of the J-channel into which you will fit the vinyl siding.
To do this, you must first determine which of two methods you
will use to apply sheathings or underlayments. This is covered
in more detail under “Sheathings”.
Starter strip:
Measure along base of building.
____________
J-channel:
For siding installations, measure
around doors and windows, under eaves,
at rake edges of gables where dormer
meets roofline, and anywhere else required
to provide a finished appearance.
____________
For soffit, measure along wall under eave
and along fascia board.
____________
For porch ceilings, measure along perimeter
of the porch area.
____________
F-channel:
For soffit, measure along wall
under eve.
____________
For porch ceilings, measure along perimeter
of the porch area.
____________
3-1/2" and 5" lineals:
For casing, measure
along perimeter of doors and windows.
For gables, measure at rake edges of gables
where dormer meets roof line.
____________
Undersill trim:
Measure above and below
windows and above doors and top course
of siding below soffit.
____________
Soffit H-bar:
Measure diagonals at all
eave corners.
____________
Outside cornerpost:
Measure length of
outside corners.
____________
Inside cornerpost:
Measure length of
inside corners.
____________
NOTE:
If you plan to use J-channel instead of inside
cornerposts, remember to double this measurement
and add the total to your entry for J-channel.
Dual undersill trim:
Measure along top
of wall where siding will meet eaves.
