When choosing siding, we achieve maximum savings in material, which is quite realistic given its convenient length.
This means that the optimal sizes of siding and components are an important element in reducing financial costs and improving the appearance of the new facade.
Siding panels and necessary components
Sheet parameters and siding price depend on 4 conditions.
- Technical equipment of production, equipment.
- Operating principles of manufacturers who also specialize in the production of additional devices that compensate for the insufficient length of siding sheets.
- Oversized sheets are difficult to transport.
- Base features: vinyl or metal siding.
The metal is resistant to deformation, so its standard sheets are produced in lengths from 6 to 13 meters, and vinyl sheets are only 4-6 meters long.
Advice! An alternative way out is to creatively, in a designer way, connect the sheets staggered, overlapping.
Types of panels and their texture
Many photos of siding panels demonstrate their successful imitation of 4- and 5-inch boards.
In the USA, “Christmas Tree” boards are popular, and in Europe “Shipboard” siding is more valued.
Ship Plank Dimensions
Siding can be single, double or triple - this is their form factor, designated as follows:
- single – Single – S;
- double – Double – D,
- triple – Triple – T.
The width of the boards is indicated by the number after the form factor:
- D4 – double panel 4x2 inches wide;
- T3.5 - triple with a width of one rail of 3.5 inches.
Note! Knowing the dimensions of the facade, we calculate which ones are more profitable to buy and how much. But there is also custom siding with boards 6 or 6.5 inches wide.
Standard sizes of plastic siding with a thickness of 1.1 or 1.2 mm and a width of 255 or 205 mm are very different in length:
- 3m;
- 3 m 66 cm;
- 3 m 73 cm;
- 3 m 85 cm.
As a rule, the standard size of vinyl siding in terms of working width is:
- 4 inches=203 mm;
- 4.5 inches=229 mm;
- 5 inches=254 mm.
Metal siding installation
The good thing about metal siding is that it’s easy to do all the work yourself.
The brief installation instructions describe the main points:
- First, pay attention to the leveling system, which in the future will need to be mounted on specialized brackets and galvanized profiles or wooden blocks.
Helpful advice! Remember that the thickness of the wooden blocks must be at least 4 cm.
- Thermal insulation - sometimes the weather brings the most unpleasant surprises, and then it is worth making sure that there is insulation. In this case, the dimensions of the metal siding should be the same as those of the insulation. It is important that the insulation is protected from weathering and moisture.
Note: in order to get rid of condensation and vapors, a ventilation gap of 4 cm is sufficient. The maximum permissible gap is 10 cm.
- Now the main stage. First, check the plane of the leveling system and the dimensions. After this, when the check has been carried out, install the starting strip, then attach the inner or outer corner.
Helpful advice! Don't forget about the windows, install elements of door and window openings. Where you plan joints, install flashings.
You can get a complete understanding of the installation process by watching the training video.
