Install all window and corner trim on the area you’ll be working on. Corner trim consists of installing one board flush with the corner of the house, and then overlapping it with another on the perpendicular corner. Don’t worry too much about seeing the seam in between the two boards, painter’s will caulk this later.

I personally used Nichiboard and it worked out to be a 30% savings as opposed to Hardie plank. DIY Projects: Get rid of bulky spacer guides with these durable clamps; machined from industrial-grade components for years of use Size: Make sure you buy the right size clamp for your application. If the clamp is too large or too small it wont be able to secure the siding properly. It is absolutely critical to mark where your studs are when installing house wrap. You want to always hit a stud when nailing the siding. Mark where the studs are by finding one and using a level to mark a line from the top of it to the bottom of the area. Repeat this at every stud location.
Fiber Cement siding is a combination of cement, water, sand, and cellulose fibers. The combination of these compounds provides a strong, long-lasting option for a home’s exterior. Another benefit of fiber cement is the ability to hold paint. Due to its porous nature, the material soaks up paint when applied. Tests have shown that paint also withstands fade from UV rays on fiber cement siding better than it would on other siding materials. LIFTING TOOL: Our gauges can be adjusted at 1/4-inch increments for 4 to 8-inch siding reveals. The patented Friction-Cam mechanism has the superior holding power to fully support 16-foot LP siding lengths, ensuring equal spacing between each board.If you have someone helping you, have them hold the starting board while you ensure its level. Once you find the perfect spot, start nailing it to the house at the studs. Hit every stud you can. A: Yes – it works with all fiber cement panel sizes while creating consistent gaps between panels allowing moisture drainage as per manufacturer guidelines. Start by measuring the entire area you’d like to cover. Decide if it will be better to install the panels with the long side horizontal, or vertical. Like any substantial project, you’re going to have times when you’re tired, you’ve been working all day, and looking at the area left to do is daunting. That’s Okay! After flipping my first house, this was probably one of the most important lessons I’ve learned.
Installation: Make sure you buy a type of clamp that is easy to install on your particular type of siding. Adjustable clamps can often make installation easier by allowing you to adjust them to fit any size material without having to drill holes or make other modifications. House Wrap – These come in large rolls measuring 9 feet long. You’ll need to shingle this after you tear off the old siding. (Shingling just means overlapping starting with applying the bottom first so that rain can’t run down into a lower layer)
Cable Clamp on Adhesive Base
Work from bottom to top, so that the boards on rows 2 and above will have row 1 to rest on while you shimmy them into place. Make sure that the clamps are both set to the same level of reveal that you desire. Most of the time homeowners want a 7.25”-7.5” reveal, so play around and find what you like. Metal Clamp: Easily attaches each Z clamp to the first course of flashing before placing the panel on the support plate simply nail as per manufacturer recommendations
