PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES: 4. EXTERIOR FINISHING

4.4 Siding Is Not Installed in a Straight Line

Acceptable Performance/Condition

Siding shall be installed with boards in alignment.

With any type of siding or cladding, such as lap siding that requires repetitive parallel alignment from one course to the next, minor adjustments to keep the entire elevation in general alignment are acceptable. Adjustments of this nature are normal.

Wavy-edged siding is more tolerant of adjustments while maintaining an acceptable appearance.

To determine if the condition is acceptable, siding alignment should be viewed under normal lighting and normal viewing conditions from a distance of not less than 6 m (20’).
