CREATING A BALANCED APPEARANCE <br /> It's important to create a more "balanced" appearance FIRST PANEL <br /> across the wall; meaning,the batten strips appear to be Once the exposure for the first panel has been <br /> the same distance from both corners. The following calculated (Fig 3-4), measure from the edge above <br /> describes how to achieve this. the nailing slots across the panel the calculated <br /> measurement plus 3/8" to compensate for the <br /> ▪ Using a chalk line, strike a plumb line 1/2" from the lock on the panel. <br /> furring strips on both the starting side and the ending <br /> side. <br /> • Divide the length of the wall in inches by 8 (Fig. 3) 1 <br /> . Then divide any fraction of a panel into 2. This will give e.g. 3/8"+ 2" exposure <br /> you the width of exposure for both the starting panel =2-3/8"to the cut. <br /> and the ending panel (Fig. 4). <br /> -, t i <br /> I Balanced Wall 1 <br /> _I 1 r <br /> i - <br /> 1 1/2" 6I 4 3 2 r <br /> I �1 <br /> Ii--- e.g.132"-8"=16-1/2pc. —* % <br /> r <br /> Fig. 4 Il <br /> I <br /> i <br /> I <br /> 1 ,�_ <br /> Fig. 3 vb• ,, ,/ • <br /> !T <br /> • • <br /> Balanced Wall 1" Gap at the top between <br /> 1 <br /> furring and panel. <br /> AIIIIIV <br /> II II ii 11 II II II II II <br /> e.g. 4"-2=2" 1/2" overhang the <br /> 2"exposure both l foundation <br /> ends of wall. <br /> I 1 <br /> ii 1111111 ` - l 1--- <br /> Fig. 4 <br /> ---Fig. 4 r,- ,,( ,v Fig. 5 ' .a/ ''/ <br /> 30 31 <br />
