FASCIA APPLICATION continued
STEP 11: Install the metal drip edge up the
gable end using the chalk line as a reference
and fasten. Be sure to overhang excess
material
(Approx. 2") Note: This will need
to be trimmed AFTER the LP
®
SmartSide
®
Fascia is installed.
STEP 12: Next lift up on
the metal roof edge on the
eave end and slide your
ruler up until it bumps the
top of the inside. Record
the measurement where
the bottom of the sub-
fascia ends.
STEP 13: Measure and
mark the LP
®
SmartSide
®
Fascia from Step 12 at the
recorded measurement.
It is important that this
measurement be pulled
from the dado as shown.
Rip the Fascia to width,
and use Diamond Kote
®
touch-up paint on all cut
edges.
STEP 14: Cut the fascia
to length and paint all cut
edges. Start by installing
the Fascia on the eaves.
First lift up on the metal
roof edge and slip the
Fascia behind the metal.
Make sure to fasten the
fascia every 24" o.c.
maximum. Use Diamond

other sides of a hip roof.
Finish by trimming the
excess metal roof edge o of the corners.
STEP 16: After nishing the Fascia, the next
step is adding the Sot if it is not already
installed.
SOFFIT APPLICATION
• Architectural Collection Vented Cut-To-
Width (CTW) sot provides a minimum
of 10 square inches per lineal foot of
ventilation.
• Recommended spans for open and
closed sots are given in Table 1. The
recommendations in Table 1 for open
Sots also apply to combined roof/
ceiling construction.
• Panels are assumed continuous over two
or more spans with the long dimension
or strength axis across supports for both
applications.
• In open and closed sot construction,
protect panel edges against direct
exposure to the weather with LP
®
SmartSide
®
Trim and Fascia.
• Apply the Sot in a manner that prevents
moisture intrusion and water build-up.
All openings, other than the vents, must
be sealed, caulked, and/or ashed.
• SOFFIT MUST NOT BE IN DIRECT
CONTACT WITH MASONRY, CONCRETE,
BRICK, STONE, STUCCO OR MORTAR.
INSTALLATION
• Panels must be installed perpendicular
to supports.
• Minimum size framing should be nominal
2" x 4"
• All panel edges must be supported or
backed by solid framing.
• Consult your local building code for
open sot applications.
• When installing Sot with Sot
Channel, it is highly recommended
to double up framing members at all
sot joints and seams.
