The framing shall be.of adequate thickness to accept 1-1/2 inches of nail penetration. A properly installed breath- able water-resistant barrier is required between the siding and masonry or concrete walls. PRIMED LAP SIDING Lucie County r • 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 water vapor in your area. When using wet blown cellulose insulation, the insulation must not be in direct contact with the siding and it must be allowed to dry a minimum of 24 hours or longer if specified by the insulation manufacturer. As with all wood products, do not apply engineered wood siding to a structure having excessive moisture conditions such as drying concrete, plaster orwet blown cellulose insulation. If suchconditions 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 framingmembers. ,Do not apply siding over rain -soaked or buckled sheathing materials. ' Gutters are recommended for control of roof water run off. SECONDARVWATER- RESISTANTBARRIER `• 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. Seal all gaps with a high -quality, non -hardening, paintable sealant. Follow the sealant manufacturer's instructions for application. Use a high -quality exterior sealant meeting the ASTM C920, minimum Class 25 sealant. D• DOORS OPENINGS • All openings must be properly sealed orflashed in a manner that prevents moisture intrusion or buildup. Several examples that accomplish this are shown on the following pages. -Kici(-OUT FLASHING • Install kick -out flashing'to direct the water into the gutter • Install step flashing with minimum 4 in. upper leg • Properly integrate flashing with the secondarywater-resistive barrier. Use, housewrap, flashing tape, z-flashing, or other items as needed to maintain the counterflashing principle. • 00 NOT extend the siding or trim into the kick -out flashing or gutter • Maintain a clearance between the end of the, gutter and the adjoining wall to allow for proper maintenance of the siding • Prime and paint ALL exposed cut edges LP Siding Minimum 1" clearance between trim and roofing Clean rain gutter APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.) INSTRUCTIONSFINISHING 00 Prime and paint all exposed surfaces including all drip edges or where water will hang. • Apply finish coat as soon as possible or within 180 days of application. High -quality acrylic latex paint, specially formulated for use on wood and engineered wood substrates, is highly recommended. Semi -gloss orsatin finish oil or alkyd paints are acceptable. For flat alkyd paint, please check with the coating manufacturer for their recommendations for use on composite wood siding. • Follow the matingmanufacturer's application and maintenance instructions, 00 NOT USE • Semi -transparent and transparent stains. • Shake and shingle paints. • Vinyl -based resin formulas such as vinyl acetate, PVA, vinyl acetate/acrylic copolymer paints.
