ENGINEERED

FOR

PERFORMANCE

Monogram features RigidForm technology

for exceptional wind resistance.

Wild, Wicked WeatherLet’s face it, weather happens everywhere. Virtually every part of the United States experiencesthunderstorms. Some areas are also hit with blizzards,tornadoes, or localized wind storms. All theseweather occurrences can easily pack winds over 80 miles per hour.

Many competitive products, even premium thicknesspanels, do not have the strength in the nail hem area that CertainTeed RigidForm sidings offer, or the added security of a proprietary locking system.Without these design innovations, chances of blowoff and other weather related problems can be veryreal possibilities.

The STUDfinder Installation SystemIn both remodeling and new construction, achieving a high-quality siding installation comes down to basics. For optimum performance, panels should be accurately and securely fastened to studs, and Monogram withSTUDfinder makes it easy to do just that.

Accuracyand QualitySTUDfinder isengineered to alignnail slots precisely withconstruction standardsof 16" and 24" oncenter, with indicatorletters centered undereach nail slot to makeit easy to locate studsand help ensureaccuracy.

P erformance begins with quality installation, and STUDfinder™

is the only system in the industry engineered with an integral installation

guide on every panel, designed for accurate and secure installation.

Protection Against Hidden DangersYou can choose the MonogramSTUDfinder installation system withconfidence, knowing it can help ensure the siding will be applied correctly.

Precise installation contributes to wind load performance,and helps avoid nailing into anything located betweenthe studs, like plumbing or wiring that could create anumber of dangers…

Security and PerformanceWith STUDfinder, performance is optimized with secure siding-to-stud fastening, helpingMonogram to withstand high winds.

Accurately anchoring Monogram to studs creates a solid connection providing strength and security.It also helps make sure that the siding is installedper ASTM specification (D4756) with at least 3/4"nail penetration. In most cases, this requiresfastening to the studs.

By helping to ensure that the correct number of fasteners are used, STUDfinder helps protectagainst such problems as blow-offs from undernailing, or buckling from over nailing.
