INSULATED SHEATHINGS
• LP

SmartSide
®
Panel siding may be
installed over low-compression rigid
foam or exterior gypsum.
These precautions must be followed:
• Adequate bracing of the wall in
accordance with International Codes or
other ruling building code is required.
• For rigid foam sheathing up to 1 inch
(25.4 mm) thick, siding may be nailed
directly to the foam sheathing unless
a drainage plane is required by the
local building code. Nail length must be
increased to ensure a minimum 1-1/2"
(38.1 mm) fastener penetration into the
structural framing.
• For rigid foam sheathing greater than 1"
(25.4 mm), a minimum 1-1/2" (38.1 mm)
thick by 3-1/2"
(88.9 mm) wide vertical
strapping or furring strip must be
installed over the sheathing to provide
a solid, level nailing base for the siding.
The strapping must be securely fastened
to structural framing, spaced no greater
than 16" on center
(406 mm), with a
minimum nail penetration of 1-1/2" on
center
(38.1 mm) and a maximum nail
spacing no greater than the width of the
siding.
• LP
®
will assume no responsibility for any
damage or condition arising from the
use of rigid foam or exterior gypsum.
