Important Fire Safety Information: When rigid vinyl siding is exposed to significant heat or flame, the vinyl will soften,
sag, melt or burn, and may thereby expose material underneath. Care must be exercised when selecting underlayment
materials because many underlayment materials are made from organic materials that are combustible. You should ascertain
the fire properties of underlayment materials prior to installation. All materials should be installed in accordance with local,
state and federal Building Code and fire regulations.
Wind Load Testing: CertainTeed Restoration Classic™ Double 4" siding has been tested per ASTM D 5206 standard test

your local building inspector for wind load requirements in your area on the type of structure you are building.
