How to Install Vinyl Siding. Installing vinyl siding isn't just a matter of fastening panels onto your exterior walls. Since vinyl will expand in the heat and contract in the cold, the siding installation needs to be able to handle the changes, yet still look good. So a vinyl siding installation requires not only the siding panels themselves, but a number of trim pieces specially designed to help hold the siding in place, cover up the ends of the siding courses (rows) and allow room for the panels to expand and contract. Standard trim pieces are starter strips, inside corners, outside corners and J- channels.
