JOINTS
Two types of joints can be used: the butt joint and the 45 o miter joint.
All joints where two pieces meet end to end a gap must occur over
framing. A 1/16" gap is required between boards 12 feet long or less; a
1/8" gap is required between boards over 12 feet long. Attach the trim
boards to the framing members with two nails on each side of the joint.
Butt Joints:
Butt joints are
recommended for both
horizontal and vertical
trim. Attach to the framing
members with two nails on
each side of the joint.
45º miter Joints:
Can be used for adjoining
fascia boards and band
boards. Attach to the
framing members with two
nails in the center of the

FASTENING REqUIREmENTS

the end of the material.
• Follow the nailing guidelines in this table for the number of nails to
use at each nailing location for the given Trim Board widths. Nails
must be long enough to penetrate at least 1 1/4" through the trim
board, sheathing, building paper etc. into solid wood framing.
