Installation Guide

give good protection, but normally has to be reapplied more
often than the acrylic paint. For best results, apply a prime
coat followed by two finish coats. Latex semi-transparent
stains or oil-based house paints are not recommended. In
addition, spray application is not recommended. Finishing
should be applied by brush or roller rather than spray ap-
plication.
Above all, read and follow the paint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for finishing the siding project.
Proper finishing of plywood siding protects it from weather-
ing, reduces maintenance, and improves the appearance
and performance of the siding project. To begin the finishing
process, the wood surface must be clean and dry prior to
any finish application.
An all acrylic-latex paint system will do the best job of seal-
ing the wood from moisture and ultraviolet exposure from
the sun. The acrylic-latex paint performs best if it first has
a primer applied of the same manufacturer as the paint.
Solid-color stain, limited to either latex or oil-based, can
give good protection, but normally has to be reapplied more
often than the acrylic paint. For best results, apply a prime
coat followed by two finish coats. Latex semi-transparent
stains or oil-based house paints are not recommended. In
addition, spray application is not recommended. Finishing
should be applied by brush or roller rather than spray ap-
plication.

and 8D for greater thickness (minimum of 3/8” from the
panel edge). When applied over wood or plywood sheath-
ing, the nails must penetrate 1” into the studs, except that
when Gypsum sheathing is used the nails should penetrate
the framing 1-1/2” minimum. The nailing sequence can also
be a factor in maintaining a uniformly flat appearance to
the finished wall. Position the siding panel, maintaining the
recommended edge spacing, and lightly tack at each corner.
Install the first row of nails next to the preceding panel from
top to bottom. Remove the tacking nails. Then nail the row
at the first intermediate stud. Continue by nailing at the sec-
ond intermediate stud, and finally at the edge opposite the
preceding panel. Complete the installation by fastening to
the top and bottom plates. The nail heads should be snug or
flush with the panel surface.
Allow at least 6” between the bottom edge of the siding and
the finished grade or horizontal surfaces. Building paper is
not required for vertical installation, unless specified by local
building code. Apply a vapor barrier to the warm side of the
wall. For the best performance, Roseburg recommends a
solid-color acrylic- latex finish be applied to the siding within
30 days of installation.
Duratemp Siding should be stored indoors, particularly if it
will not be used immediately. If it is necessary to store the
siding outdoors, the units should be stored off of the ground
and covered loosely with protective material. The structure
to which the siding is being applied should be well vented
and dry prior to siding application. New construction should
be left open to allow for venting of excess construction mois-
ture.
Siding panels can be installed vertically, directly over wall
framing (studs or 2x6’s), provided the on-center stud spac-
ing does not exceed the span rating given on the panel back
stamp. All panel ends and edges should occur over framing.
Roseburg recommends a 1/8” minimum gap between panel
edges and 1/8” gap between panel ends. Panel spacing is
important to allow for any possible panel expansion caused
by moisture absorption. Horizontal joints in multistory build-
ings should allow for framing shrinkage.
Nail the siding 6” on-center along panel ends and edges
and 12” on-center on intermediate supports (shear walls
require additional nailing). Use only corrosion resistant
nails. Use 6D box, casing, or siding nails for panels 1/2”
thickness or less (a minimum of 5/8” from the panel edge),
and 8D for greater thickness (minimum of 3/8” from the
panel edge). When applied over wood or plywood sheath-
ing, the nails must penetrate 1” into the studs, except that
when Gypsum sheathing is used the nails should penetrate
the framing 1-1/2” minimum. The nailing sequence can also

Storage /Installation Storage /Installation
Proper maintenance of Roseburg Real Wood Siding is very
important to preserving its life and look. Prolonged exposure
to the sun and weather will cause any finish to show its age.
Once the finish fails to provide adequate protection, siding
can become brittle, cracked and eroded, causing it to lose
its adhesion, fade or mildew. Therefore, it is important to
maintain a quality finish and, if needed, reapply a protective
coating when bare wood is exposed, or peeling and flaking
is detected.
Before refinishing, remove all dirt, mildew, caulk and loose
finish from the surface. A minimum of two mils dry coat
thickness is recommended when using solid finishes. Primers
may be required for bare wood or when a color change is
made.
