4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 General:
LP SmartSide® Strand Substrate Lap Siding and LP
SmartSide® Strand Substrate Panel Siding must be
installed in accordance with the manufacturer's published
installation instructions (titled 'Application Instructions LP
SmartSide® Strand Substrate Lap LP SmartSide® Strand
Substrate Panel Siding) and this report. In the event of
conflicts, this report governs. A copy of the manufacturer's
installation instructions must be on the jobsite at all times
curing installation.
i LP SmartSide® Strand Substrate Lap Siding and LP
SmartSide® Strand Substrate Panel Siding must be
installed with an approved water -resistive barrier as
required by the applicable code. Openings in, penetrations
through, and terminations of the LP SmartSide0 Strand
Substrate Lap Siding and LP SmartSide® Strand Substrate
Panel Siding are outside the scope of this report and must
be specifically approved by the code official in accordance
with the applicable code.
unless otherwise noted in this report, fasteners and
4,fastener spacing must be as rioted in the applicable code,
2 LP SmartSide® Strand Substrate Lap Siding:
LP SmartSide® Strand Substrate Lap Siding must be
attached to'"framing members spaced a maximum of
16 inches (406 mm) on center. for 3/a category siding and a
rQaxlmum of 24 inches (610 mm) on center for'/,s category
siding.
Self -aligning LP SmartSide® Strand Substrate Lap Siding

SmartSide® Strand Substrate Lap Siding, i/2 inch (13 mm)
down from the upper edge. Each successive course of lap
siding must rest on the back rabbet and must self-aiign at
an overlap of is/,s inch (21 mm).
I,Nalls must be of sufficient length to penetrate a minimum
of 11/2 inches (38 mm) through the sheathing and into
framing at each stud location.
413. LP Smart -Side Strand Substrate Panel Siding:

General Information
At the time of manufacture, siding meets or exceeds the performance standards set forth In Composite Panel Association
ANSI 135.6 and has achieved code recognition under ESR-3090 and CCMC 12353-L. For copies of these reports, call LP
Customer Support at 800-648-6893 or go online at https.//Ipcorp.com/resources/product-literature/#.
Lp's application instructions describe the minimum requirements needed to assure LP° SmartSide" Llmited*Warranty
coverage.
Failure to follow the LP application instructions could result in reduced product service life and may lead to denial of
Before You Begin
• Minimum 6 inch clearance must be maintained between siding and finish grade.
i
•Siding applied adjacent to porches, patios, waiks, etc. must have a clearance of at least 1 Inch above any surface.
• Siding must not be in direct contact with masonry, concrete, brick, stone, stucco or mortar. Backer rod is recommended to
properly space materials at these location.
• Minimum 1 inch clearance from roof surfaces. (Diagram 2a)
• Apply siding in a mannerthat prevents moisture intrusion and water buildup.
• All exposed wood substrate must be sealed in a manner that prevents moisture intrusion and water build up. To achieve
this, use primer, paint, sealant and flashings as follows in these application instructions. .
• o not use staples.
• Siding is designed to be installed directly to wood structural panel wall sheathing.
I
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.
Moisture Control
• Moiisture control and moisture vapor control are critical elements of proper housing design and construction. Check your
local building codes for application procedures for handling moisture and water vapor in your area.
• Fol ow all applicable building code specifications relating to prevention of moisture intrusion into the wall assembly. LP°
Sm3rtSidew siding is a wood product, and, as with all wood products, must be kept freefrom excessive moisture. Lack of
proper ventilation; exposure to constant or repetitive sources of water such as sprinklers, condensation, inadequate flashing;
improper sealing; or failure to follow common building practices that prevent moisture intrusion into the wall system may
caL se damage, and products subject to such treatment will be excluded from warranty coverage:
As (with all wood products, do not apply engineered wood siding to a structure having excessive moisture conditions such as
drying concrete, plaster, or wet blown cellulose insulation. If such conditions exist, the building should be well ventilated to
allow it to dry prior to the application of the siding.
with kick -out flashing and eave drip edge are recommended for control of roof water rurroff.
Windows, Doors &
openings must be properly sealed or flashed in a manner that prevents moisture intrusion or buildup. Several examples
t accomplish this are -shown on the following pages.
Water -Resistant Barrier
• Aproperly installed breathable water -resistive barrier is required behind the siding. Consultyour local building code for
details.
• LP will assume no responsibility for water penetration, or damage It may cause.
Wafer Run -Off Control
• Properly installed flashing materials will help direct water away from
common water collecting areas.
• All l flashing material shall be metal or another durable material that
under normal outdoor environmental conditions will last fora period
of not less than 50 years.
• All flashing materials must have a minimum 4 inch upper leg. Add a 4
inch wide adhesive flashing to flashing legs less than
4 Inches.
• Properly integrate flashing with the secondary WRB. Use housewrap, 2a
flshing tape, kickout flashing, step flashing,
Z-flashing, drip edge, gutters or other items as needed to maintain the
counter -flashing principle.
• Install kickout flashing to direct the water into the gutter. (Diagram 2a)
• In all step flashing thathas a minimum 4 inch upper leg. (Diagram 2a)
• M�intaln a minimum 1 inch clearance between the end of the gutter
a9d the adjoining wall to allow for proper maintenance ofthe siding.
(Diagram 2b) '
• Do not extend the siding or trim into the kickout flashing or gutter.
• P�Ime and paint ALL exposed cut edges of siding.

• FoIrthe cleanest cut and longer blade life, a fine-tooth carbide tipped blade is recommended.
• Siding is manufactured with a special edge coating which reduces moisture -related issues. If siding is ripped you must take
special care to prime, paint and seal all exposed wood fiber as described in the finishing section.
• Climb cut the surface of the siding such that the rotation of the blade cuts downward on the primed or prefinished surface.

Fastening Instructions - Sheathing Only (continued)
- Apply siding to wall assembly directly to wood structural panel sheathing.
• Begin by na fling a starter strip (approximately 3/8 inch thick x 1-1 /2 inch wide) flush with bottom edge of sill plate.
• St�rting from left to right, level and install the siding so the bottom edge is no more than 1/2 inch below the starter strip.
• Use the alignment bead. in shiplap edge as a spacing guide. Do not overlap the alignment bead. (Diagrams 4b & 5b)
• To' obtain the best staggered joint appearance of siding, cut and fasten the starter pieces of each course according to the
following steps:
d Cut •1 st course starter piece 3/4 inch from the left, this will remove only the top shiplap from the overall length of panel,
o� Cut 2nd course starter piece 13 inches from the left, that measurement includes the length of the shiplap,
o� Cut 3rd course starter piece 6 inches from the left, that measurement includes the length of the shiplap,
Cut 4th course starter piece 8 inches from the left, that measurement includes the length of shiplap,
o Repeat this same sequence every four courses. (Diagram 4a)
• Lap a minimum of 1-1/2 inches. This will vary based on siding reveal selected. Reveal can be between 5-1/2 to 6-1/2 inches.
• The siding should fit against corner trim boards leaving a 3/16 inch space, the opposite shiplap edge is facing up to receive
th� next piece of siding.
