or design guidance unless retained specifically for that purpose.
5.2 This Evaluation Report is not for use in FBC HVHZ jurisdictions.
5.3 This Evaluation Report does not address fire-resistance-rating performance of the completed wall assemblies.
5.4 Shear load performance data for Vertical Panel Siding is presented in Appendix 2. Lap Siding and Shapes Siding are
not intended for racking or shear resistance; walls shall be braced by other means as required by the Authority Having
Jurisdiction.
5.5 Limitations relating to wind load resistance are outlined in Appendix 1.
5.5.1 “MDP” = Maximum Allowable Design Pressure is the result of testing for wind load resistance based on allowable
wind loads. Refer to FBC 1609 for determination of design wind loads.
5.5.2 Maximum Ultimate Wind Speeds shall be as defined in 1609.3(1), 1609.3(2) or 1609.3(3) of the 6th Edition (2017)

The following notes apply to the systems outlined herein:
1. Substrates shall be in accordance with FBC requirements to the satisfaction of the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
2. Fasteners shall be corrosion resistant. Fastener lengths noted are minimum lengths, and shall be adjusted as necessary for minimum 1-inch embedment into wood studs or
minimum three full threads for metal framing (Reference: FBC 1405.16).
3. Vertical joints shall occur over wall framing and shall be staggered on subsequent courses. The siding shall be applied with a minimum 1¼ inch overlap. Position the fasteners
¾ inch from the top edge of the siding. Fasten 3/8 inch from butt ends. For installation over metal wall studs, a minimum of ½ inch thick gypsum shall be applied on the
interior surface.
4. “MDP” = Maximum Allowable Design Pressure is the result of testing for wind load resistance based on allowable wind loads. Refer to FBC 1609 for determination of design
wind loads.
5. Maximum Ultimate Wind Speeds shall be as defined in Figures 1609.3(1), 1609.3(2) or 1609.3(3) of the 6th Edition (2017) Florida Building Code, depending on the project Risk
Category (FBC 1604.5) and Exposure Category (FBC 1609.4.3), as defined by the Designer of Record and acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Maximum Ultimate
Wind Speeds noted herein are limited to projects meeting the following:
✓ Maximum height of 30 ft
✓ Enclosed building (Internal Pressure Coefficient, GCpi = + 0.18);
✓ Site conditions and location of the structure do not meet all conditions specified in Section 26.8.1 of ASCE 7-10 (Kzt = 1.0).

Table Type Application Fastener Engage
4A Allura™ Panel Siding Face Fastened Wood Framing
4B Allura™ Panel Siding Face Fastened Steel Framing
The following notes apply to the systems outlined herein:
1. Shear load data are based on ASTM E72 testing at an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory, and are offered within this Evaluation Report at the request of the applicant.
2. All board edges shall be supported by framing. Panels shall be applied with the long dimension either parallel or perpendicular to studs.
3. The maximum height-to-length ratio for use of this data is 2:1.
4. Allowable shear loads are based on a 3 to 1 margin of safety.
