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

LP's application Instructions describe the minimum requirements needed to assure LP° SmartSide" Limited Warranty
coverage
Failure to follow the LP application instructions could result in reduced product service life and may lead to denial of
BeforeYou Begin
• Minimum 6 inch clearance must be maintained between siding and finish grade.
• Siding applied adjaceht to porches, patios, walks, 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 I inch clearancefrom 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 asfollows in these application Instructions.
• Do not use staples.
• Sidinglis designed to be installed directlyto wood structural. panel wall sheathing.
• Trims hould be thick enoug h 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
• Moisture 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.
• Follow all applicable building code specifications relating to prevention of moisture intrusion into the wall assembly. LP.°
SmartSidew siding is a wood product, and, as with all wood products, must be kept free from 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
cause 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.
• Gutters with kick -out flashing and eave drip edge are recommended for control of roof water rurroff.
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.
Secondary Water -Resistant Barrier
• A properly 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
Water Run -Off Control
• Properly installed flashing materials will help direct water away from
common water collecting areas.
• All 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 41nch 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
flashing tape, kickout flashing, step flashing,
Z flashing, drip edge, gutters or other items as needed to maintain the
counter -flashing principle.
• Install kitkoutflashing to direct the water into the gutter. (Diagram 2a)
• Install stepflashing'that has a minimum 4 inch upper leg. (Diagram 2a)
• Maintain a minimum I inch clearance between the end of the gutter
and the adjoining wall to allow for proper maintenance of the siding.
(Diagram 2b)
• Do not extend the siding or trim into the kickout flashing or gutter.
• Prime and paint ALL exposed cut edges of siding.
For the 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.
Do not miter edges.

• Fastener length: Long enough tofully penetrate wood
structural panel sheathing by at least 1/4 inch. Ensure that the
ring shanks of the fastener fully engage the wood structural
panel sheathing. (Diagram 3a)
Fastener placement: A minimum 3/4 inch down from top edge
of siding! Fasteners shall be placed 1 inch from ends, excluding
the width of the shipla p. (Diagram 3a)
• Fastener spacing: Space ring shank nails a maximum of 8 inches
o.c. across the top of siding. (Diagram 4a)
• Use a minimum 0.092 inch diameter shank, hot -dipped
galvanized or stainless steel ring shank nail. Fasteners shall be
corrosion resistant and capable of preventing rust, stain and
deterioration under normal outdoor environmental conditions
for a period of no less than 50 years.
Fasteners: Minimum 0.092 inch diameter,
hot -dipped galvanized (ASTM A-153) or
stainless steel ring shank nail. Apply and
correct overdriven nails as shown fnTable 3a.
• Sealant: Use an exterior -quality, non -
hardening, paintable sealant. Use a Class 25or
higher exterforsealant meeting the ASTM C920
Standard for Specification for Elastomeric Joint
Sealants. Follow the sealant manufacturer's
instructions for application.
• Paint: An exterior -quality 100%acrylic latex
paint, specially formulated for use on wood
and engineered wood substrates, is highly
recommended. Semi -gloss or satin finish

Fastening Instructions - Sheathing Only (continued)
Apply siding to wall assembly directly to wood structural panel sheathing.
Begin by,nalling a starter strip (approximately 3/8Inch thick 1-1/2 Inch wide) flush with bottom edge of sill plate.
Starting 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. (Diagrams4b & Sb)
To obtain the best staggered joint appearance of siding, cut and fasten the starter pieces of each course according to the
following steps:
o 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 Cut3rd course starter piece 6 inches from the left, that measurement includes the length of the shiplap,
o 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 upto receive
the next piece of siding.
