Amerimax Home Material FL 5896 Folheto

•  Always start at one end of the house.
•  No overlap is needed where lengths meet.
•  Nail on approximate 16" centers.

Install along wall of house by nailing through long leg into existing wooden 
overhang or rafters.

 

If you are removing your existing gutter, mark the locations of the rafters so you can 

remount your gutter by fastening into the rafters, which is preferred over fastening to the 
wooden front trim.

Wrap-around should be about 2". Cut out the 
bottom lip with metal snips and blend front trim 
as shown. The fi rst piece used after turning the 
corner should overlap and come completely 
to the corner. Starting at one end, place front 
trim with bottom lip snug against the overhang 
panels. The top edge may be slipped under box 
style guttering it if it has not been removed. Nail 
as shown on approximate 16" centers. Do not 
overdrive nails. When installing the next length, 
overlap the fi rst by ½" to 1" and nail through 
the overlap joint.

Amerimax Fascia can also be used to cover 
Gable Boards. Follow, the same procedure as 
above, mitre cutting the panels at the peak.

Aluminum can be cleaned by using a mild 
soap and water solution. You should never use 
abrasive cleaners or pads.

Mark point on wall level with bottom edge of wooden front trim 
at both corners (A). Strike a chalkline between the two points. 
Make 1” wide nailing fl anges on long edge of panel 
supports by notching with metal snips and bending 
up. Fasten panel supports to wall with long side 
up and top horizontal edge even with 
chalkline, nailing through fl anges.

Install along inside of wooden front trim 
by nailing through long leg or into existing 
overhang or rafters.

Project III

At one end of house, install only one length along the wall by nailing through long leg into 
existing wooden overhang or rafters (see Fig. A). Successive lengths will be installed along 
the wall after the overhang panels have been installed into the previous lengths.

Install along inside of wooden front trim (see Fig. D). Follow procedure illustrated in Fig. B 
to strike a chalkline on wall. Chalkline should be level with bottom leg of panel support. At 
one end of house, install only one length along the wall by forming 1” wide nailing fl anges 
and nailing to wall with bottom horizontal edge even with chalkline. Successive lengths will 
be installed along the wall after the overhang panels have been installed into the previous 
lengths.

Subtract ¼ inch (for clearance) 
from your measured overhang 
depth. Using this new 
dimension, cut the twelve foot 
lengths into individual panels, 
using your circular saw with 
fi ne tooth metal cutting blade.

Always start at one end of 
the house. The fi rst panel 
must be installed with 
interlocking-nailing edge square with the wall and positioned to receive the next panel.

Insert each panel into support and 
approximately even with outside edge of 
wooden front trim. Install each successive 
panel, pushing it up against the previous panel 
until it interlocks, before nailing into the bottom 
of the wooden front trim.

Install the panel by sliding it into the tracked 
formed by the two panel supports. Install 
each successive panel, pushing it against the 
previous panel until it interlocks. Proceed until 
panel support against wall is fi lled. Install one 
additional length of panel support against the 
wall, as before. Proceed with installation of 
panels and panel supports.

If inside or outside corners are involved, make 
a mitre joint by butting two J-channels back 
to back as shown, or use Double Channel 
Runner. Cut the soffi t panels at the proper 
angle to fi t.

 Decide on the solid vs. vented pattern you wish to use. If you are covering an 

existing overhang you should cut a hole in the old overhang (to the approximate panel 
size) at each vented panel in order to achieve the desired air circulation.
