HardieShingle Half-Round Panel Installation
Install HardieShingle panels with joints butted in moderate contact. Due to
overlapping of the joints, caulk is not required except where panels abutt trim
boards. (fig. 27). Ensure keyways do not line up on subsequent courses.
1) Install a 1-1/4 in starter strip, then install a 8-1/4 in wide HardiePlank lap
siding starter course.
2) Place first panel so that panel end centers over stud. Trim panel as needed.
Butt the cut end into trim as shown (figs 27). When installing over a band
board or any horizontal surface, leave 1/4 in gap between bottom of siding
and flashing.
HARDIESHINGLE INDIVIDUAL SHINGLE INSTALLATION
HardieShingle Individual Shingles must be installed with the widest part of the shingle
placed downwards and directly to minimum 7/16 in thick sheathing.
Fastener Requirements
0.091 in x 0.221 in HD x 1 1/2 in or 0.121 in x 0.371 in HD x 1 1/4 in long corrosion
resistant siding nails are used for fixing HardieShingle siding to 7/16 in thick APA
rated sheathing.
HardieShingle Individual Shingle Installation
Due to overlapping of the joints, caulk is not required except where panels butt trim
boards. Space shingles a maximum 1/4 in apart and leave a minimum lap of 1 1/2 in
between successive courses (fig. 26).
1) Install 1 1/4 in starter strip and a 8 1/4 in wide HardiePlank siding starter course.
2) Install first shingle from the end abutting trim. Install widest part of
shingle placed downwards. (fig. 25).
3) Secure shingle, leaving a 1/8 in gap for caulk at trim and continue the
course along the wall.
4) Start the second course, leaving a minimum lap of 1 1/2 in between
successive courses, again from the end abutting the trim. Repeat step 3.
5) Continue up the wall repeating steps 2 through 5 until desired height
is reached.

3) Secure panel, leaving 1/8 in gap for caulk at trim and continue the course along
the wall.
4) Start the second course, by removing the equivalent of one full stud cavity (16 in
or 24 in OC), again abutting the cut end into the trim (fig 27). This is to prevent
pattern repetition. Repeat step 3.
5) Start the third course, by removing the equivalent of two full stud cavities (figs
28 & 30) and repeat step 3.
6) Continue up the wall repeating steps 2 through 6 until desired height is reached.
