Application & Installation Information
When battens are applied over siding at vertical joints, sealant is not required. When applied to walls with horizontal joints, DO NOT run the battens over the joints and flashing. Horizontal band boards should be properly flashed above and below the board, with flashing installed below the board covering the top ends of the batten strips below. Leave a minimum 3/8” space between the end of the batten and the band board and DO NOT caulk.
