Anyone Like Working With 3" Lineals

JustRightCo

I'm starting to hate working with 3" lineals (double j-channel type) it almost took half a day puting them up. heres a pic. anyone work with these, there must be a better way

Bob Bridgewater

I would just box in the mullions with alum.trim with the color you want and run J right over the windows like the header. Just a thought.

JustRight; on your pic on the right you have a tourit or a hexagon, I have done some houses like this before, and on them corners I make my own corner post with 1/4 round vinyl stick, and zip screw J channel on the left and right into the 1/4 round to make a receiver for the siding, and these form a very nice corner for anything less than a 90* angle around bays and hexagons and such. Just my two cents, hope it helps ya.

just my two cents 1 ) starting on the left i would cap between the windows and to be diffrent run a solider course of soffit in the middel to break it or at least offer the option .picture 2) I would cap the middel to peaces undersill and flat coil picture 3 ) coil bent on a 30 degree bend or 22 which ever it is doubel j and side . I like the idea thier bob i would like to see a picture of the 1/4 j stick i dont think ive seen this befor
all in all its a nice job

JustRightCo

I'd like to see your idea. 1/4 vinyl...

All vinyl the middles are getting Azek, better and cleaner than coil, plus picture frame windows are a must according to our agreemant, so are crown molding on tops of the windows. well I'm pretty much done now. Thank for everyone comments, I'll post the pic when I get a chance.

I wish I had the means to post a pic. of this type a corner that you can make from one stick of 1/4 round vinyl and two J. All I know to help is if you ever worked with extra-wide corner, decorative posts they are like 3 lineals that see the weather;
A left and a right that are like a 1"x6" and have a receiver for the siding and then you snap in the 1/4 round in the middle point.
Well this 1/4 round is just that and what im talking about, one 1/4 of a circle, that you zip J channel to and this on the job made corner will float right in to a 22, 45 or what ever angle you want, and look costem and very nice. Any of you folks can PM me and I will be more than happy to give ya my fone # or send you a picther.
Im just here to learn and help when can.
Regards.

OH. now i know what your talking about those snap in on the super corners
you can accent that in different colors. I never thought of useing that piece as a corner for 45 deg. I usely get the corners which come in 45 deg, there clean and just right. Thanks for that info though I just might use that next time just to see how much $$ it can save

Here is a picture of the corner trim Bob is talking about

Hay JustRight you got me wondering now. I been around a bit and aint never seen a 45 deg. corner I dont eaven think we can get them around here. I have meny times made them on the break but never seen a vinyl one. A Pro 3 will only let you get to a 2 1/2" L and R weather. I am very interested in what the dimensions are and who is the suppler.
Could you please post?
Thanks.

This is the splayed corner I use if the angle is around 45 degrees, for other angles I make the 3 piece one above. Certainteed makes this one, I don't know if other manufacturers make them though.
