   I've used a lot of Azec beadboard as wainscot in bathrooms, blind nailed. Some on porch ceilings same.

   I think the Azec type is 7/16" x 5"
   Used the Paslode 15/16 ga 1-1/2" angle in tongues
   no glue
   no problems

   I used it on my own front porch ceiling, approx. 6' x6'. I nailed it thru the tongue just like I would with wood, using an 18 ga. brad gun. No glue.

   Looks great- no painting.

   I put up a couple a thousand square feet on a single house for porch ceilings.

   Use polyurethane glue, stainless brads and everything was good.... except a few pieces turned out to be a different color/sheen. Wasn't supposed to be painted but it had to be.

   Brad on tongue, don't remember exact  length 1 1/2" I guess.  We started with finish nails but it blew off the tongue

    

   Glue on rafter.

   On the brittle side.

   Blind nail is good.  1 9/16" SS brads.

   We always paint it after installation.

   Azek glue (or Bond'n'fill) on the end joints.  If you don't, you'll get huge shrinkage.  Don't glue the tongues though, you want the boards to move with temperature swings.
