Panel Siding Clause Samples
The Panel Siding clause defines the requirements and standards for the installation and quality of panel siding materials used in a construction project. It typically specifies the type of siding to be used, installation methods, and any necessary treatments or finishes to ensure durability and appearance. By clearly outlining these expectations, the clause helps prevent disputes over material selection and workmanship, ensuring the finished project meets agreed-upon standards.
Panel Siding. Panel siding is designed to be applied whtout building paper either direct to framing or over sheathing, provided all siding joints occur over framing and are protected with a continuous wood batt, approved caulking, flashing, vetical or horizontal shiplaps, or otherwise made waterproof. Where grooved siding is applied horizontally direct to framing, buidling paper shallb e installed behind the siding, in accordance with tehapplicable code. Siding shall be fastened directly to framing in accordance with plywood provision of the code. When siding 1/2 inch or less in thickness is installed over foam sheathing up to 1 inch in thickness, the siding shall be fastened with 8d galvanized box nails. Siding greater than 1/2 inch in thickness applied over foam sheathing shallbe fastened with 10d galvanized box nails. The foam sheathing shall conform to the code. Panel siding applied directly to studs, spaced in accordance with the span rating and fastened with 6d galvanized box nails or equivalent, spaced 6 inches on center at panel edges and 12 inches on center at intermediate studs, is an alternative to the plywood sheathing construction specified in the code for wall bracing. Shear values for all-veneer panel siding shall be as given in Table 2 for siding applied directly to studes, or over 1/2-or 5/8-inch gypsum sheathing. Thickness at poit of nailing at panel edges determines applicable values. All-veneer panel siding, identified as APA 303, applied over maximum 1- inch-thick foam sheathing, as described above, on studs spaced 16 or 24 inches on center, with 1/2-inch gypsum wallboard installed on the interior face, is an alternative to the plywood sheathing construction specified in the code for wall bracing. For use as roof sheathing with the underside exposed, the allowable spans for all-veneer siding identified as "303," shall conform to Table 5.
