Attaching t1 11 siding.

Wrap the house with house wrap or 15 mil tarpaper. Paint or stain the wood making sure the siding is well protected and won t succumb to any of the harm that outside moisture can cause. Pound the nails into the siding until its head countersinks into the siding s surface. You can attach them with exterior screws or galvanized nails.

However t1 11 should never actually be installed flush with the ground as this contact can increase moisture buildup and promote mold growth. Because t1 11 siding is not resistant to the damage caused by water you ll need to caulk anywhere where water can seep behind the siding such as the gaps around windows as well as the joints. This is because the t1 11 sidings were previously installed with bigger waterproof studs. T1 11 siding is designed for installation on framing with standard 16 inch spacing.

Secure the center of the t1 11 siding to its wall stud. Most of the older homes with aged t1 11 sidings present a more demanding undersurface at the time of executing repairs or replacement of sidings. One or two blows to the nail head by a carpenter who has done this task repeatedly and the the nail is solidly into the stud below. These studs were hammered much deeper than the present day installation studs.
