This Florida Evaluation Report contains all of the 21 siding products manufactured by
P1yGem / Georgia-Pacific. The report is divided into 4 different siding types; vinyl
siding, vertical vinyl siding, foam backed vinyl siding, and plastic (polypropolene)
siding. All of the work here is in conformance with the 2014 Florida Building Code and
the 2014 Florida Residential Code.
VINYL SIDING
The following 12 PlyGem / Georgia-Pacific vinyl siding products; Parkside, Chatham
Ridge, Vision Pro, Shadow Ridge, Forest Ridge, Castle Ridge, Somerset Beaded,
Compass, Tmewall Series 3800, Tmewall Series 4000, Truewall Series 4200, and
Tmewall Series 4400 have been tested and analyzed in .conformance with ASTM D
3679-09 as required by Florida Building Code 2014, paragraphs 1404.9 and 1405.14;
plus Florida Residential Code 2014, paragraph 703.11. Structural testing to ASTM D
5206, as required by ASTM D 3679, is reported in ICC ES report ESR-1565. For
configurations, thicknesses, nail hem types, horizontal and vertical nail spacings, plus
allowable design wind pressures, see table beginning on page 2.
I have performed a combination of rational and comparative analyses on these products,
which includes the mandatory requirements of Annex A1.2.1 in ASTM D 3679.
Installation must be over 5/8" minimum nailable sheathing or %:" minimum plywood.
Installation fasteners must be roofing nails with 3/8" diameter head, 1/8" diameter shank,
and a minimum length of 1-1/2". The allowable design wind pressures for all of these
products have been determined in a separate 7 page structural analyses titled VINYL &,
PLASTIC SIDING ANALYSES FLORIDA EVALUATIONS.& 2014 FBC UPDATE. In
order to achieve the pressures in the analyses, all studs must have nails in them and all
nails must be in studs. Studs must be at 16" spacing. For additional installation details,
see drawing titled PLYGEM / GEORGLI PACIFIC VINYL SIDING INSTALLATION,
Sheet 1 of 4, attached to this report.

Installation fasteners must be roofing nails with 3/8" diameter head, 1/8" diameter shank,
Georgia-Pacific siding
Page 6
and a,minimum length of 1-1/2". The allowable design wind pressures for all of these
products have been determined in a separate 7 page structural analyses titled VINYL &
PLASTIC SIDING ANALYSES FLORIDA EVALUATIONS & 2014 FBC UPDATE. In
order to achieve the pressures in the analyses, all studs must have nails in them, and % of
all nails must be in studs. Studs must be at 16" spacing. For additional installation
details, see drawing titled PLYGEM / GEORGLI PACIFIC PLASTIC SIDING
INSTALLATION Sheet 4 of 4, attached to this report.
