Minimum 6 inches clearance must be maintained between trim and finished 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 roofing where it meets the fascia. (See diagrams 2c and 9c) 2a 6 min. Install siding products only on walls whose framing members have been kiln dried or air-seasoned to a moisture content of 19% or lower. Do not install siding on walls with crooked framing materials. Do not install siding over rain-soaked or buckled sheathing. In a horizontal brick frieze or band board application where the trim meets the masonry leave a 3/8 inch minimum airspace and flash between the trim and the masonry. (See diagram 2d) Do not use staples. 2b 1 min. TRIM MUST NOT BE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH MASONRY, CONCRETE, BRICK, STONE, STUCCO, OR MORTAR. CUTTING For the cleanest cut and longer blade life, a fine-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 fiber as described in the finishing section. Climb cut the surface of the trim and fascia such that the rotation of the blade cuts downward on the primed or prefinished surface. 2c Drip-edge Fascia Sub-Fascia Do not miter trim edges. 45 degree diagonal cuts of trim ends around door and window opening is acceptable, as well as joining.

19 TRIM & FASCIA 190, 440, 540 & 2000 SERIES APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS PREPARATION MOISTURE CONTROL Moisture control and moisture vapor control are critical elements of proper housing design and construction. Check your local building codes for application procedures for handling moisture and water vapor in your area. Follow all applicable building code specifications relating to prevention of moisture intrusion into the wall assembly. LP SmartSide trim and fascia is a wood product, and, as with all wood products, must be kept free from excessive moisture. Lack of proper ventilation; exposure to constant or repetitive sources of water such as sprinklers, condensation, inadequate flashing; improper sealing; or failure to follow common building practices that prevent moisture intrusion into the wall system may cause damage, and products subject to such treatment will be excluded from warranty coverage. As with all wood products, do not apply engineered wood trim and fascia to a structure having excessive moisture conditions such as drying concrete, plaster, or wet blown cellulose insulation. If such conditions exist, the building should be well ventilated to allow it to dry prior to the application of the trim and fascia. Gutters with kick-out flashing and eave drip edge are recommended for control of roof water run off. INSTALLATION FASTENING INSTRUCTIONS Apply nails to meet the specifications in the General Application Equipment section in this document. (See diagram 3c) For edge-nailing, all nail holes must be pre-drilled. Do not attempt to edge nail without pre-drilling. (See diagrams 6e and 6f) Fastener length: Long enough to fully penetrate structural framing or wood structural panels and structural framing a minimum of 1 inch. (See diagram 4a) Caulked Butt Joint Gap 3/16 and seal Fastener placement: 3/8 inch from ends and edges, when framing support allows. Fastener spacing: Trim must be fastened with two nails at both ends, with additional fasteners spaced a maximum of 24 inches o.c. along the length of the board, or with two nails at both ends, with additional fasteners spaced a maximum of 12 inches o.c. along alternating edges the length of the board. (See diagram 4b) Fastener quantity: For trim under 7 inches wide use a minimum of 2 nails per width. For trim 7 to 12 inches wide use a minimum of 3 nails per width. For trim over 12 inches wide use a minimum of 4 nails per width. Where edges of trim meet siding material, windows, doors or other finished openings, leave a minimum 3/16 inch space to allow for proper sealing. Provide increased spacing along the trim if specified by the siding application instructions. 4a 1 12 max. Do not miter corner joints of band boards, fascia, corner trim, etc. (See diagram 2e) or 24 max. 4b 12 max. 4

20 TRIM & FASCIA 190, 440, 540 & 2000 SERIES APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION FASTENING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED) Butt joints: Ends and butt joints require a 3/16 inch space and seal with a high quality non-hardening paintable long-life sealant. Joints may lightly touch around windows and doors only. Butt joints require four (4) nails with two nails on either side of the joint at each edge. (See diagrams 4a, 5a and 5b) Do not use scarf joints 3/8 from ends and edges 3/16 space 5a 5b Alternative Fastening Option - Trim Nails Common or box nails provide superior resistance to fastener pull-through. In Hurricane-Prone Regions or locations where negative wind loads are a concern, box or common nails should be used. Trim nails may be used in other locations with the following cautions: Do not overdrive or counter sink the fastener, nail flush with the surface of trim. Trim nails shall be installed per the length, placement, spacing and quantity requirements listed in this document. Detachment of trim is not covered by the LP SmartSide limited warranty whether common, box, or trim nails are used. Alternative Fastening Option over Wood Structural Panels - Sheathing Only Attachment: Wood structural panels must be a minimum 7/16 Category with an APA Trademark that contains the consensus Standard DOC PS 1 or PS 2. Fastener Type: Ring-shank nail Shank diameter = inch Hot-dipped galvanized (ASTM A153) or equal Head diameter = inch Fastener Length: Fastener shall be long enough to fully penetrate through wood structural panel sheathing and extend by at least 1/4 inch Fastener Placement and Quantity: Must be consistent with the LP SmartSide Trim and Fascia Application Instructions. Strictly adhered to all other aspects of the LP SmartSide Trim and Fascia Application Instructions. Detachment of trim is not covered by LP SmartSide limited warranty whether fasteners penetrate studs or sheathing only attachment is used. Alternative Fastening Option - Attaching Trim as Batten Strips Attachment of trim as batten strips where the trim is unable to be attached into wood structural panels and structural framing a minimum of 1 inch will require additional support from a construction adhesive. First, use hot-dipped galvanized ring-shanked nails no smaller than inch shank diameter to attach the trim sufficiently to secure the trim to the structure while the construction adhesive completes its curing process. Second, use an exterior grade construction adhesive that meets the following specifications. Construction Adhesive Specifications: Minimum bond strength: 300 psi Minimum application temperature: 40 F Paintable grade Alternative Fastening Option - Installing Over Insulated Sheathings LP SmartSide Trim and Fascia may be installed over low-compression rigid foam or exterior gypsum. The following precautions must be followed: Adequate bracing of the wall in accordance with the International Codes or other ruling building code is required. For rigid foam sheathing up to 1 inch (25.4 mm) thick, trim 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 inches (38.1 mm) fastener penetration into the structural framing. For rigid foam sheathing greater than 1 inch (25.4 mm) thick, a minimum 1-1/2 inches (38.1 mm) thick by 3-1/2 inches (88.9 mm) wide vertical strapping or furring strip must be installed over the sheathing to provide a solid, level nailing base for the trim. The strapping must be securely fastened to structural framing spaced no greater than 16 inches o.c. (406 mm) with a minimum nail penetration of 1-1/2 inches (38.1 mm) and a maximum nail spacing no greater than the width of the siding. Louisiana-Pacific assumes no responsibility for any damage or condition arising from the use of rigid foam or exterior gypsum. 5

TOUCH UP ANY DAMAGE TO THE FINISH THAT MAY OCCUR DURING APPLICATION PER PREFINISHERS SPECIFICATIONS. Nailing Instructions Apply siding over a maximum stud spacing of 16 in. O.C. (See Stud Spacing) Begin by establishing a straight reference line to guide positioning the bottom edge of the first course of siding. The suggested procedure is to measure equal distance downward from the eaves and/or windows and snap a chalk line. This first step ensures that the siding appears parallel with the eaves, soffit, and windows, regardless of any actual setting of the house from true level. Trim Do not run trim or siding inside of the kick out flashing Trim should be thick enough so the siding does not extend beyond the face of the trim. Trim and fascia must be applied in a manner that will not allow moisture intrusion or water buildup. LP SmartSide siding are not designed and/or manufactured to be used as trim or fascia. LP SmartSide trim and fascia are available in a variety of dimensions. LP SmartSide lap siding is not designed and/or manufactured to be installed vertically. SIDING MUST BE APPLIED AT LEAST 6 in. ABOVE THE GROUND. Snap parallel chalk lines on the walls as guides in positioning the top edge of each siding course. Space chalk lines so that bottom edge of the first course of siding is applied at least 6 in. above the ground, and that each subsequent siding course is overlapped a minimum of 1 in. (minimum 1-3/8 in. for Beaded Lap Siding). Nail a starter strip (wood lath or siding approximately 3/8 in. x 1-1/2 in.) 1/4 in. above bottom chalk line and install first course of siding. Penetrate structural framing or wood structural panels and structural framing a minimum of 1-1/2 in. Use hot-dipped galvanized nails with a minimum in. diameter head and in. diameter shank.

35 Shim siding at studs, as needed, to avoid drawing siding against uneven walls. DO NOT OVERDRIVE NAILS. Nail head should seat firmly to face of siding but not be overdriven to distort the siding surface. Vertical butt joints must fall on studs. Nails should be placed at all stud locations and positioned 3/8" from the vertical edges on each side of the butt joint. Stagger butt joints on subsequent courses. Leave a 3/16 in. gap. All joints must be caulked with sealant. Optional joint moulding may be used. If joint moulding option is selected, add the thickness of the web to the gap allowing a net 3/16 in. space for expansion. Nail at all framing members around openings (maximum spacing 16 in. O.C.).

Fasten the siding at each stud according to the following steps. Begin by nailing a starter strip (approximately 3/8 in. x 1-1/2 in.), flush with bottom edge of sill plate. For random drip edge: Starting from left to right, level and install the first course of siding so random edge is no more than 1/2 in. below the shim. Trim left edge so that siding section fits against corner board, with a 3/16 in. gap, and so that opposite shiplap edge falls on a stud for nailing. For straight drip edge: Starting from right to left, level and install the first course of siding so straight edge is no more than 1/2 in. below the shim. Trim right edge so that siding section fits against corner board, with a 3/16 in. gap, and so that opposite shiplap edge falls on a stud for nailing. Use alignment notch in shiplap edge as automatic guide to lap each siding course. Lap a minimum of 1-3/4 in. to bottom of notch, as shown. Nail 3/4 in. from bottom edge to penetrate both siding courses. Start subsequent courses in same manner but trim each course to effect staggered joints. Best appearance is obtained by trimming second course starter piece 16 in. shorter than the first course and trimming the third course starter piece 32 in. shorter than the first. Repeat this same sequence every three courses. DO NOT OVERDRIVE NAILS. Nail head should seat firmly to face of siding, but not be overdriven to distort the siding surface.
