Once the rail and bracket system has been completed, start with installation of abutment trim, base profile, perforated flashing and drip edge. The rain guard joint is overlapped and glued down. The (concealed) underlying rain guard is then cut into so that the overlying rain guard can be installed.
Alternatively, the drip edge could be joined using a glued soaker flashing:
After all components of the starter detail have been finalized, depending on the layout, the starter profile or perforated starter profile can be installed.
Note
When using the perforated starter profile and siding with a stop end, you must ensure that a distance of at least 5 mm is maintained between the stop end and the perforated starter profile. If the stop end is directly in contact with the perforated starter profile, there is insufficient incoming air and no functioning rear ventilation.
Furthermore, it would restrict the material expansion of the siding.
National requirements for incoming air must be observed!
In order to ensure adequate air inflow via the rear ventilation, the spacing between the perforated starter profile and drip edge must be min. 10 mm.
A precise installation is important, as this essentially determines the appearance of your façade. The more accurately the profile is measured and then installed, the easier it will be for you to complete the installation correctly and professionally. Make sure that the ventilation gap is not obstructed.
Ensure that the installation is free of tension by mounting the substructure profile to the substructure using a clear arrangement of fixed and sliding points.
At a fixed point, the drilling screw is screwed directly through the starter profile or perforated starter profile. To create a gliding point, use slotted hole punch pliers to punch the required slot.
When installing the starter profile, pay particular attention to ensuring that the position of the screws is not too deep, so that the siding, siding.X and perforated siding can be easily pushed into place and installed.
Note
Remove all metal shavings and soiling before inserting the siding, siding.X and perforated siding into the starter profile or perforated starter profile so that the concealed groove/spring catch can be interlocked without tension.
For longer building dimensions, you must not join the starter profiles and perforated starter profile together due to material expansion. Maintain a spacing of 5-10 mm for material expansion (depending on the length of the starter profile).
