Stud Spacing

Precision Series 38 Series and 76 Series panel siding must be installed on 16 in. OC framing only. When installing on 24 in. OC framing, Precision Series 190 Series panel siding is required.

Moisture

• Moisture control and moisture vapor control are critical elements of proper housing design. Check your local building codes for application procedures for handling moisture and moisture vapor in your area.
• As with all wood products, do not apply engineered wood siding to a structure having excessive moisture conditions such as drying concrete or plaster. If such conditions exist, the building should be well ventilated to allow it to dry prior to the application of the siding.
• Siding must not be applied to green or crooked structural framing members. Do not apply siding over rain-soaked or buckled sheathing materials.
• Gutters are recommended for control of roof water run off.

Vapor Retarder/Weather Barrier

• A properly installed breathable water-resistive barrier is required behind the siding.
• Consult your local building code for details.
• LP will assume no responsibility for water penetration

Gaps & Sealants

Seal all gaps with a high-quality, non-hardening, paintable sealant with a minimum stated service life of 30 years. Follow the sealant manufacturer’s instructions for application.

Flashing, Windows, Doors & Openings

All openings must be properly sealed or flashed in a manner that prevents moisture intrusion or buildup. Several examples that accomplish this are shown on the following pages.

Trim

• Trim should be thick enough so the siding does not extend beyond the face of the trim.
• Trim and fascia must be applied in a manner that will not allow moisture intrusion or water buildup.
• LP® SmartSide® siding is not designed and/or manufactured to be used as trim or fascia. LP SmartSide trim and fascia are available in a variety of dimensions.

Finishing Instructions

It may be necessary to angle drive the second nail in order to penetrate the framing. Seal nails driven below the surface.
• Shear values for panels applied directly to studs shall be no greater than noted in Table 1 of the ICC-ES report ESR-1301.
• Not warranted for application on SIP and ICF assemblies.
