11. Installation – Step 1
Install sidewall sheathing material over studs. Install Home Slicker Plus Typar after windows and doors are properly installed and flashed. Refer to window/door installation for details on flashing integration. 11

12. Installation – Step 2
Roll out Home Slicker Plus Typar wherever siding or cladding will be applied with channels running vertically and the extra Typar flap on top.* Home Slicker Plus Typar must roll out left to right. Align the guide marks printed on the Typar with the stud locations. Nail or staple every three square feet and at Typar flap.
(*For stucco applications, install an additional weather resistant barrier over the exposed channels of Home Slicker Plus Typar.) 12

13. Installation – Step 3
To create vertical seam between rolls, install a 12” wide non-absorptive drainage plane, such as Typar or building paper, behind vertical joint. The bottom of the flashing should be lapped over the Typar flap of the lower course. 13

14. Installation – Step 3 (cont.)
Optionally, attach “peel and stick” or flashing tape to the back of the Typar at the end of each roll. Center the flashing so half extends past the roll’s end with the sticky side out. Butt the next roll and seal onto other half of flashing. Proceed up the wall. The higher course should overlap the extra Typar on the lower course. Butt edges of Home Slicker matrix together with the Typar lapped underneath the new roll. 14

15. Installation – Step 4
Install siding or cladding system over wall surface per manufacturer’s installation instructions.* Allow ¼” for thickness of Home Slicker Plus Typar. Do not overnail.
*Note: Refer to the nail selection information in the Home Slicker Application and Architectural Drawings. 15

16. Window/Door – Step 1
All window and door flashing should be installed and flashed according to manufacturer’s instructions and Home Slicker Application and Architectural Drawings. For best practice, install (in order) sill flashing; window; jamb flashing; head flashing with drip cap. 16

17. Window/Door – Steps 2-4
Unroll Home Slicker Plus Typar over windows and doors.
Cut Home Slicker Plus Typar around edge of entire window or trim.
For best flashing protection, slip lower course of Home Slicker Plus Typar under loose ends of sill jamb and flashing. 17

18. Bottom Detail
To prevent insect infiltration along bottom edge of siding, attach Slicker Screen along the wall 3” above bottom edge of Home Slicker Plus Typar. Fold up onto outer surface of installed Home Slicker Plus Typar and fasten with a large head nail to hold in place prior to applying siding or cladding. 18

19. Top Detail
Run Home Slicker Plus Typar flush with soffit overhang. Attach Slicker Screen over top 6” of product across span of wall. Install a 1”x3” board at top of wall. Install siding within 4” of soffit overhang. Install a 1”x4” finish trim board or 4” piece of siding over the 1”x3” board. This will allow for air movement behind the cladding allowing convective drying and ventilation to occur. 19
