Knowing the right installation process is crucial for the durability and longevity of your LP SmartSide Panels. Follow these steps:
Ensure proper surface preparation, including house wrap and flashing installation.
Start at the bottom of the wall and work your way up, staggering panel seams.
Install panel siding with galvanized ring-shank nails, ensuring nails penetrate at least 1 1/2 inches into studs.
Space nails approximately 12 inches apart along the panel edges and 16 inches apart in the field.
Finally, seal all seams and edges with a high-quality, paintable sealant.
Successfully installing your LP SmartSide siding is all about having the right tools, materials, and techniques. Stick to these guidelines and you'll have a stunning and durable result.
