Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Split blocks are the go-to choice for retrofit work because you don't need to remove surrounding siding to install them; just snap the halves together at the fixture location. Set the block at the proper depth for your siding so the fixture seats flush, and seal behind it where the manufacturer's instructions call for it. Match the Flint tone or choose a block that contrasts intentionally with your siding color.
Have electrical outlets and light fixtures wired and sealed in accordance with electrical codes; the mounting block supports the fixture but does not replace proper waterproofing or box enclosures.
Add the Variform Split Recessed J-Block in Flint for a clean, finished mount on any vinyl siding job.
