important notes
The manufacturer has provided these suggested instructions as installation guidelines. The manufacturer,
however, neither installs the panels nor has any control over the installation. It is the responsibility of the
contractor and/or the installer to ensure panels are installed in accordance with these instructions and any
applicable building codes. The manufacturer assumes no liability for either improper installation or personal
injury resulting from improper use or installation.
Fire Safety Information
Vinyl building materials require little maintenance for
many years. Nevertheless, common sense dictates that
builders and suppliers of vinyl products store, handle,
and install vinyl materials in a manner that avoids dam-
age to the product and/or the structure. Owners and
installers should take a few simple steps to protect vinyl
building materials from fire.
To Home and Building Owners:
Vinyl siding is made from organic materials and will
melt or burn when exposed to a significant source of
flame or heat. Building owners, occupants, and outside
maintenance personnel should always take normal
precautions to keep sources of fire, such as grills, and
combustible materials, such as dry leaves, mulch and
trash, away from vinyl siding.
To the Building Trades, Specifiers,
Professionals, and to Do-It Yourself
Installers:
When vinyl siding is exposed to significant heat or
flame, the vinyl will soften, sag, melt, or burn, and
may thereby expose materials underneath. Care must
be exercised when selecting underlayment materials
because many underlayment materials are made from
organic materials that are combustible.
It is important to ascertain the fire properties of under-
layment materials prior to installation. All building
materials should be installed in accordance with local,
state, and federal building code and fire regulations.
Storage and Transportation
When transporting vinyl siding and accessories to
the job site, make certain to keep the cartons flat and
supported along their entire length. At the job site, take
the following precautions when storing panels:
• Store the cartons on a flat surface and support
the entire length of the cartons.
• Keep the cartons dry.
• Store the cartons away from areas where falling
objects or other construction activity may cause
damage.
• Do not store the cartons in stacks more than 6
boxes high.
• Do not store the cartons in any locations where
temperatures may exceed 130º F (e.g., on blacktop
pavement or under tarps or plastic wraps without
air circulation).
