The HZ5® product line is right at home in climates with freezing temperatures, seasonal temperature variations, snow and ice. HZ5® boards are the result of our generational evolution of our time-tested products. We’ve evolved our substrate composition to be specifically designed to perform in conditions found in these climates. To ensure that its beauty matches its durability, we’ve engineered the surface for higher performance, giving it superior paint adhesion and moisture resistance. In addition, we’ve added a drip edge to the HardiePlank® HZ5® lap siding product to provide improved water management in conditions specific to HZ5® climates.

Water-resistive barrier Installation of HardiePlank ® Lap Siding Install a starter strip HardiePlank ® lap siding requires a starter strip beneath the first course to set it on the proper angle and to create a proper drip edge at the bottom of the siding. Starter strips are easily made by ripping 11/4-in. pieces of HardiePlank siding from full or partial planks. The bottom of the starter strip should be installed even with the bottom of the mudsill or the bottom edge of the sheathing. The strip must be installed over the water-resistive barrier, but occasional gaps should be left in the starter strip to allow any accumulated moisture behind the siding to drain away safely. TIP: For accurate fastening, snap vertical chalk lines on the water-resistive barrier at the center of every stud location.

The first course should start at the lowest point of the house and within required clearances. Special attention should be made to ensure that it’s straight and level. Attention should also be paid to staggering any butt joints in the planks so that the installation is attractive while making efficient use of material. 1) Use a level (4-ft. or longer) or chalked level line to be sure that the first course is level. As installation proceeds up the wall, peri- Snapped chalk line guides the first course. 6 in. min. Use a level 4-ft. or longer level to check the first course. Keep bottom edge of the first course even with the bottom of the corner trim. installing the planks End plank courses 1/8 in. from vertical trim and fill gap with permanently flexible caulk. PLANK ALIGNMENT AT CORNERS 10.3 10.4 odically check the level and straightness of the courses. When correcting for flatness over products such as exterior insulation, use drywall shims. It is good practice to snap a chalk line every 3 to 5 courses to keep the planks straight and level. 2) Position the bottom edge of the first course of siding a minimum 1/4-in. below the edge of the starter strip (maintain required clearances) and secure. 3) Run the siding to the HardieTrim® board leaving a 1/8-in. gap between the siding and trim. The bottom of the siding should be kept even with the bottom of the trim, or if desired, the trim may extend below the bottom of the siding. But the siding should never hang below the trim. *When installing the first course make sure ground clearances are in accordance with James Hardie requirements and those of local codes. For the best looking installation, make sure that the heights of the plank courses match on both sides of a corner. Use a framing square, speed square or a level to match up the plank heights. Check every few courses to make sure proper heights are being maintained.

Planks are interlocked together on the pallet, therefore they should be removed from the pallet horizontally (side to side) to allow planks to unlock themselves from one another. TIP: When taking planks from the pallet installation, avoid repeating the texture pattern by working across the pallet. Two to four planks can be removed from a stack at one time. But then material should be taken from adjacent stacks, again working across the pallet. Texture repeat is typically a concern on large walls with few breaks, such as windows or doors. Pull from across the stack Do not go down the stack Pull from across the stack Do not go down the stack blind nailing (nailing through top of plank) Blind nailing is recommended for installing any type of HardiePlank ® lap siding including ColorPlus® siding. With blind nailing, each course covers the fasteners on the course below, which provides a better looking installation. For blind nailing HardiePlank lap siding, James Hardie recommends driving fasteners 1 in. from the top edge of the Fasteners are hidden by the course above. Nails are driven through the sheathing into the studs. Keep nails 3/8 in. from ends of boards. Nails for blind nailing shall be between 3/4 in. and 1 in. from the top of the board. Blind nailing Exposed fasteners are driven through the face of the boards. Drive fasteners only where planks overlap Face nailing Blind nailing measurments FACE NAILING (nailing through the overlap at the bottom of the plank) Although blind nailing is recommended by James Hardie, face nailing may be required for certain installations including: installations in high wind areas, fastening into OSB or equivalent sheathing without penetrating a stud, or when dictated by specific building codes. Refer to Appendix D for related code matters. 10.5 10.6 10.7 plank. Additionally fasteners should be placed no closer than 3/8 in. from the ends of the plank. HardiePlank ® HZ5® Lap Siding is manufactured with a nail line that should be used as a guide for proper nail placement when blind nailing. This nail line should not be used as a lap line. Avoid placing fasteners near the top edge of the plank. This practice, called “high nailing”, may lead to loose planks, unwanted gaps or rattling. Pinning of butt joints with a finish nail may be done for aesthetic purposes only. The finish nail should be nailed flush to the surface (not countersunk), must be fully corrosion resistant (e.g. galvanized or stainless) and does not provide any structural support.

Tape the roll tightly at the cut mark and cut the section off using a miter saw with a carbide blade. Individual sheets then can be cut to length with a utility knife. TIP: Use light-colored joint flashing when using light-colored ColorPlus lap siding or other siding with a light-colored finish. Dark- color joint flashings should be used on siding with dark finishes. For walls longer than 12 ft., uploads/Ingenierie_Lourd/ best-practices-guide.pdf
