At the time of manufacture, siding meets

or exceeds the performance standards set

forth in ICC-ES-AC321 and has achieved

code recognition under ESR-1301, CCNC

11826, APA recognition under PR-N124,

and HUD recognition under HUD-MR-1318.

(

For copies of ESR-1301, call LP Support at 1-800-

648-6893 or go to apawood.org.)

• Minimum 6 inch clearance must be

maintained between siding and nish

grade.

• Siding applied adjacent to porches,

patios, walks, etc. must have a clearance

of at least 1 inch above any surface.

• Minimum 1 inch clearance at intersection

with roof line.

• Apply siding in a manner that prevents

moisture intrusion and water buildup.

• All exposed wood substrate must

be sealed in a manner that prevents

moisture intrusion and water buildup.

• LP

does not recommend LP

SmartSide

Panel for use in ICF and SIP assemblies.

• If used, LP

will not warrant for buckling

and shrinkage. However, balance of

warranty does remain intact.

• Do not use staples.

• Siding must not be in direct contact with

masonry, concrete, brick, stone, stucco,

or mortar.

HORIZONTAL TRIM

• Properly integrate ashing with siding,

WRB and vertical trim.

• At corners, allow the end of the trim to

overlap the end of the adjoining trim.

Leave a 3/16 inch space and seal with

sealant.

STUD AND SPACING

• Diamond Kote

Building Products must

be applied over sheathed walls into studs

spaced no greater than 16" on center.

• Installations over masonry walls, the wall

must be furred out with wood framing

spaced 16" on center and with adequate

thickness to accept the full length of the

recommended nail.

TRIM & FASCIA 190, 440, 540 & 2000 SERIES

INSTALLATION

• Trim must extend beyond the face of the siding. Trim may be

installed directly to the sheathing, or directly over the siding.

• Horizontal trim: properly integrate ashing with siding, WRB

and vertical trim. At corners, allow the end of the trim to overlap

the end of the adjoining trim. Leave a 3/16 inch space and seal

with sealant. (See diagram 6a)

• Vertical corners directly to sheathing: allow for proper spacing

between the trim edge and siding. Corner trim edge may

lightly touch adjacent trim edge. Follow siding manufacturer’s

application instructions. (See diagrams 6b and 6c)

• Vertical corners over siding: the width of the trim must overlap

the siding by a minimum of 2 inches. Sealant between the trim

and siding is not required for this application. Allow for proper

spacing at the corner between perpendicular siding pieces.

Corner trim edge may lightly touch adjacent trim edge. Follow

siding manufacturer’s application

instructions. (See diagram 6d)

• OPTIONAL Pre-assembled vertical corners: cut vertical

corner pieces to size with clearance requirements in mind. Set

perpendicular corner pieces and pre-drill fastening holes a

minimum of every 24 inches o.c. Fasten into pre-drilled holes with

proper nails or screws. (See diagrams 6e and 6f)

PREPARATION

• Minimum 6 inches clearance must be maintained between trim

and nished grade. (See diagram 2a)

• Trim applied adjacent to roofs, porches, patios, sidewalks, etc.

must have a clearance of at least 1 inch above any surface where

water might collect. The surface must be sloped or otherwise

designed to provide proper drainage so the trim is at no time

directly exposed to standing water. (See diagram 2b)

• A non-corrosive drip-edge must be applied at bottom edge of

roong where it meets the fascia. (See diagrams 2c and 9c)

• In a horizontal brick frieze or band board application where the

trim meets the masonry leave a 3/8 inch minimum airspace and

ash between the trim and the masonry. (See diagram 2d)

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED)

• For the cleanest cut and longer blade life, a ne-tooth carbide

tipped blade is recommended.

• Trim and fascia are manufactured with a special edge coating

which reduces moisture-related issues. Do not rip and/or rout

the trim and fascia, as it will leave the edges unprotected. If the

trim or fascia materials are ripped you must take special care to

prime, paint and seal all exposed wood ber as described in the

nishing section.

• Climb cut the surface of the trim and fascia such that the rotation

of the blade cuts downward on the primed or prenished

surface.

• Do not miter trim ends or edges. 45 degree diagonal cuts of trim

ends around door and window opening is acceptable, as well as

joining. (See diagram 2e)
