Vinyl Siding Stapler
Use a Vinyl Siding Stapler for Easy Application
A vinyl siding stapler can make the job go faster and easier. Staples can be easier to apply than nails. The vinyl siding stapler gun is generally lighter, which means gravity will contribute less force when lining up a staple correctly. The wider head of a staple will allow you to drive it in a bit off-center and still be effective. A vinyl siding stapler is easier to maneuver than a nailer.
Vinyl Siding Stapler offers good Holding Capability
When applying vinyl siding, staples must penetrate the backing wood by ¾ inch, yet leave a gap of about 1/32 inch between fastener and siding. A staples wider head allows the siding to flex more. This gives staples applied with a vinyl siding staple gun a good quality and holding capability. There is a special adapter available that fits on the power vinyl siding stapler to allow for a slightly-loose attachment.
Use Correct Staples with Vinyl Siding Stapler
Apply vinyl siding according to the installation instructions supplied by the siding manufacturer. Staples should be resistant to corrosion. Look for cadmium-coated, galvanized steel or aluminum varieties. Staples used in a vinyl siding stapler should be 16 gauge and semi-flattened to an elliptical cross-section. The crown must be at least 7/16 inch wide and it should be long enough to penetrate a solid substrate at least ¾ inches.
