Re: Norandex Sterling Vinyl Siding
To Whom It May Concern,
This letter is in regards to the installation on Norandex Sterling Vinyl Siding. It is our opinion that
proper installation of inside corners, using J-channel, DOES NOT require the use of a caulking. Vinyl
siding is not a "water tight" cladding option and requires the use of a house wrap to manage proper
water drainage on the wail. Installation instructions published by VSI (Vinyl Siding Institute) and
Norandex do not require the use of caulking in this method.
Sincerely,
