LP Home 3: Smartside Expert Finish Installation Part 1

4 жыл бұрын

For the third installment of the LP Home project, we start the installation of LP Smartside Expert Finish. This is the prefinished siding offering from LP, and I hope there are a lot of tips and tricks for LP installation in this video, because that is the point of this series. In Smartside Expert finish part 1 we are starting with vertical siding which in this case is commonly called board and batten. I have never installed this particular product and was pleasantly surprised. Stay tuned and you might see us try to get this product on a future clients build!
I was paid by LP to help create installation content for them, and took the opportunity to also create my own and share it with you all. If you have any questions about the project or LP Smartside with expert finish you can drop them down in the comments or check out this link!

I stated to stay tuned at the end for some cool comparisons and why you might want to choose LP Smartside over other claddings....That was before I split this video into 2 videos. I will post that as soon as possible. Thanks

I read the entire Ryan's kzfaq.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan's Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan's Shed Plans.

@Natedoc808 2 жыл бұрын

Peel the T1-11 off, apply sheathing of your choice (plus house wrap if raw OSB), put sleepers on and put the board and battens on. Easiest thing to do is when you cut the sleepers for the rain screen spacing is run em on a table saw, then set your corner, make a spacer/jig that is the 16” minus half the width of the sleeper plus the 3/16” needed for the spacing so the space doesn’t grow on you like happened in this video, and then using the spacer jig like he did but you don’t have to rip down and paint the vertical panels.

You should use your speed square as a gauge and put a batten strip line on the soffit board. Its easy to do while laying flat on the cut table. I would consider finish nails in the battens. We have used them on Hardie batten strips for years, zero problems. Should of brought the track saws.

My GC turned me on to Smartside when making a B&B siding decision. Other than being more resilient in comparison to vinyl, most vinyl B&B aren’t wider than 10 inches. That’s a lot of vertical lines...16 inch width is perfect! Do they make anything wider in smartside B&B than 16?!? 24 inches would be even better!

@noc8076 4 жыл бұрын

So they make a product that is 16" that requires a 3/16 gap, and they expect the carpenter to add all that together? Sounds like a engineered product all right, engineered by engineers who have never worked construction.
