Florida Test Question


One question for aluminum siding is how deep does the screw or nail have to be secured into the substrate.

Another one is what metal isn't compatible with aluminum
stainless steel
Steel
white copper
iron
nickel

One other one is what do you use for support at a corner post for aluminum siding.
one choice is channel bracing
and I can't remember anymore

I own a door company and I pass all the window, door, safety, but can't get many of the aluminum siding questions right and I'm studying my ass off. Please help.

Re: Florida Test Question


Not my trade, but if I had to take a wild guess, I’d say copper. copper+aluminum+moisture=wicked galvanic action. The aluminum will quickly oxidize.
