<strong>CertainTeed</strong> WeatherBoards Fiber Cement Siding <strong>Installation</strong> <strong>Manual</strong><br />
Fastening to Metal Framing<br />
Fiber cement siding can be installed over metal framing.<br />
Fiber cement must be attached to the metal framing<br />
members. Screws must penetrate into the metal framing<br />
a minimum of 1/4" or three threads.<br />
Self-tapping, corrosive-resistant, ribbed bugle-head<br />
screws specifically designed for use with fiber cement<br />
siding are recommended.<br />
You may also use corrosion-resistant pneumatic pins<br />
to fasten the siding to metal framing. Consult the pin<br />
manufacturer for application instructions.<br />

Determining Approved Heights for Installing<br />
Fiber Cement Siding<br />
<strong>CertainTeed</strong> does not limit the height at which<br />
WeatherBoards Fiber Cement siding can be installed.<br />
Rather, the allowable height is constrained by:<br />
XXNational, state, and local building codes, as adopted<br />
by the local jurisdiction<br />
XXThe design windload that is specific to the project and<br />
location for the cladding<br />
XXThe construction assemblies and systems for the<br />
specific project<br />
XXThe allowable windload capacity of the siding product<br />
to be installed<br />
To determine allowable heights, consult with your<br />
local code official or governing body and follow the<br />
requirements listed in ICC-ES Report ESR-1668, CCMC<br />
Evaluation Report 12987-R at certainteed.com<br />
