STUDfinder Installation System
The STUDfinder
™
Installation System combines precisely
engineered nail slot locations with graphics to create a siding
panel that is designed to help ensure quick, accurate and
secure installation.
The nail slots are positioned 16" and 24" on center to allow for
alignment with studs, with STUDfinder graphics centered
directly under each nail slot.
Locate the first stud and fasten in the center of the nail slot.
Ensure that nail/staple penetration is at least 3/4" to comply
with ASTM D4756 (specification for vinyl siding installation).
Notice which STUDfinder letter appears below the slot.
Go to the next repeat of the letter to find the next stud. For
example, if your first stud is at “T,” so will the succeeding
studs in 16" o.c. applications (every 10th slot).
When you apply the next panel, adjust the overlap, as
necessary, to line up with studs and repeat the steps above.
24" o.c. applications will use a similar pattern of letters, with
2 letters that repeat every-other stud (every 15th slot). For
example, if the first stud is located at “S,” then the next will be
at “I,” then “S,” then “I,” etc.
NOTE: The overlap must be a minimum of 1"
-
1-1/2". The
overlapping panels may not use the same letter as your
initial panel.
Fitting at light blocks
When cutting panels to fit at a light block, be sure to allow for
