Description

In residential or light commercial construction, the application of lap siding usually takes two or more installers. With the “Break-away Siding Clip” one person could install lap siding by their self, or the clip would enable two or more workers to install the lap siding much quicker and more efficiently.

The worker installs the first lap of siding, then installs siding clips on top of that piece by simply hooking the clips on (approx. every four to six feet [shorter siding would only require two clips]) The next piece of siding sets into the clips, which are manufactured for proper overlap specifications and spacing. The siding is then attached (nailed, screwed, etc.), then the exposed part of the clip is simply pulled down and breaks-away leaving nothing exposed. Then continue in same manner with next clips and a piece of lap siding on top.
