Série de vidéos d’installation, partie 8 : Réparation des joints d’extrémité de la moulure à clin
Siding repair contractors can use the following as guidance when repairing butt joints that were not spaced correctly and may be causing LP® SmartSide® Lap Siding to buckle. Une fois installés, toutes les extrémités et les joints bout à bout doivent être espacés d’au moins 3/16 po. For a quick reference, watch our expert demonstrating this repair process.
The Remedy Process
Let's begin with the remedy process. You'll start by using wooden wedges to separate the affected piece of lap from the overlapping piece above. To protect the housewrap from this next step, you may use a piece of metal sheeting to slide behind the lap siding. Using a keyhole or reciprocating saw with a fine-toothed blade, remove enough material from the end of one piece of lap siding in order to provide at least 3/16" of space.
If any area of the siding has been forced to deflect away from the wall, face-nail only that area to flatten the piece back against the wall.
Preparing the Joints for Finishing
Be sure to properly caulk and paint all exposed nail heads. Remove all loose debris, sawdust and leftover caulk from the expansion joint to smooth out the cut ends so that the surface is prepared for finishing. Using a brush, prime all exposed wood fibers in accordance with application instructions.
Be sure to follow the paint manufacturer's application and maintenance instructions. Seal the gap with an ASTM C920, Class 25 Sealant.
Finish the repaired area using an exterior paint consistent with LP SmartSide siding application instructions. Be sure to follow the paint manufacturer's application and maintenance instructions.
