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 Statesexperiences thunderstorms. Some areas arealso hit with hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes,or localized wind storms. All these weatheroccurrences can easily pack winds over 80 miles per hour.

Many competitive products, even premiumthickness panels, do not have the strength inthe nail hem area that CertainTeed RigidFormsidings offer, or the added security of aproprietary locking system. Without thesedesign innovations, chances of blow off andother 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.

16"

RigidForm™ TechnologyMonogram was the first sidingdesigned to perform under high windconditions through proprietaryRigidForm technology. The concept isbased on a rolled-over nail hem designthat creates a reinforcing spine.

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.
