- Install expansion channel with screws or nails (not included) on the bottom perimeter of the home. Plum down to grade.
- Make a trench, minimum 3"-6" deep, around entire perimeter of the home. (Trench may be deeper to avoid cutting panels.)
- Place the bottom mortar joint of the panel and the joining and support channel into the base channel. Line up panels with the joining and support channels and fill the trench as you go from both sides.
- Access panels may be installed in the most convenient place for you by following the illustration below. Base channel must lay on top surface of the ground and fastened on each side to the access panel post.
- Install corner plate using drywall screws (not included) through the brick face, not the mortar joint. DO NOT over tighten screws.
- Vent openings can be cut out with a carbide tipped saw.
Note: For a perfect job, match panels on the ground before installation. A minor color variation is inherent in this system.
